#

In relation to this wouldn't these be ordered pairs technically? Is there anything else in this tier we've seen that relates to two groups of similar things?

#

Ordered pairs are defined as "a pair of elements a, b having the property that ( a, b) = (u, v ) if and only if a = u, b = v."

#

And if they are ordered pairs could we plot them on some type of graph?

Wait was the burrw pattern on a graph?

I haven't done graph plotting since middle school this is gonna take me a minute to look into lol

I’ve found an interesting and new path. I searched for “North empty set” (“North” from Dusty’s comment about taking a train north) and found this mathematician: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_North_Whitehead

Alfred North Whitehead (15 February 1861 – 30 December 1947) was an English mathematician and philosopher. He is best known as the defining figure of the philosophical school known as process philosophy, which today has found application to a wide variety of disciplines, including ecology, theology, education, physics, biology, economics, and ...

#

In his Wikipedia entry it mentioned that with his studies on Universal Algebra “Whitehead, however, had no results of a general nature.[54] His hope of "form[ing] a uniform method of interpretation of the various algebras" presumably would have been developed in Volume II, had Whitehead completed it. Further work on the subject was minimal until the early 1930s, when Garrett Birkhoff and Øystein Ore began publishing on universal algebras.” Here is the Wikipedia entry for Øystein Ore: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Øystein_Ore

#

One of Øystein Ore’s students was Grace Hopper (possible reference to rabbits - hopper) - she was the first person to use the word “bug” in reference to software errors (which the Cassini spacecraft suffered because of an incorrect instruction which meant it was effectively blind in one channel when listening to the Huygens probe).

#

“While she was working on a Mark II Computer at Harvard University in 1947,[40] her associates discovered a moth that was stuck in a relay and impeding the operation of the computer. Upon extraction, the insect was affixed to a log sheet for that day with the notation, “First actual case of bug being found”. While neither she nor her crew members mentioned the exact phrase, "debugging", in their log entries, the case is held as a historical instance of "debugging" a computer and Hopper is credited with popularizing the term in computing. For many decades, the term "bug" for a malfunction had been in use in several fields before being applied to computers.[41][42] The remains of the moth can be found taped into the group's log book at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C.”

#

Grace Brewster Hopper (née Murray; December 9, 1906 – January 1, 1992) was an American computer scientist, mathematician, and United States Navy rear admiral. One of the first programmers of the Harvard Mark I computer, she was a pioneer of computer programming who invented one of the first linkers. Hopper was the first to devise the theory of m...

#

If those numbers ARE ordered pairs. Then they plot on a graph like this. I haven't been present enough with this tier to know if these points on a graph would be recognizable as a pattern against anything else. The interesting thing about it is mirror it in each quadrant (4)/(8 total pairings) you get a perfectly symmetrical (+) symbol. Given our connections to math and algebra specifically I feel like this COULD be something, but unsure where it might fit into the greater picture, if anything I feel like it would need to be paired with another visual hint to outline something specific in it. Could also be gobbledegook who knows lol.

This is a stretch but chaos theory could be involved 1. The rings of Saturn can be modeled with chaos theory 2. Certain attractions can look egg like (Lorenz attraction is a good example that I know off the top of my head) 3. An empty set creates something called a strange attraction which is what Lorenz attraction is. I think it’s interesting how the 3 major themes relate but it could be a random coincidence. I don’t know nearly enough to draw a conclusion either way.

The more I read the bigger the stretch i realize this is

"In the Kalevala, the Finnish national epic, there is a myth of the world being created from the fragments of an egg laid by a goldeneye on the knee of Ilmatar, goddess of the air" this is from the wikipedia on world eggs wasn't there a thing with golden eye [i just got into the hunt again (school causing interference with the important things) so someone might have mentioned this]

#

I still believe this is where the world egg, leads to Khaos conflated to emptiness. With Sonic and Euler pointing to Cyclopes it strengthens the pitch imo: #easter-eggs message Khaos with Eros parented the race of birds so there is both the oviform and aviform connections

#

It also directly connects Uranus and earth/gaia

#

Tried probing into Eros; there are some connections that might point to this being a good lead. I did however end up here: #easter-eggs message which connects Eros, Goldfinger, Radius=48(R0=R48), photographic plates (think camera obscura) as well as being in California (CA). Couldn’t manage to squeeze out a password, but someone else might want to have a go as well

#

If Eros is the right angle it also connects chrysalis (as in metamorphosis), and psyche/Psyche, as in BIV/Matrix, which in turn could connect to butterfly effect again as she had butterfly wings. I’ll concede the butterfly bit is kind of weak, but the rest of the connections are really strong. I just couldn’t find anything else in my own.

#

I think we should consider aviform as equally a good a lead as oviform was

Considering how long it took us to get burrw (burrow minus the “o”) you should probably try permutations of most of what you can. I tried the immediate numbers and names I believed to be good passwords. I’m honestly hoping someone else has some insights that might help. I tried different permutations of the number values as well, as in withholding the “.” In the decimals, ignoring degree-signs etc. It was 2 days ago though, so I honestly can’t remember the exact passwords I attempted. I normally end up typing in 20+different passwords in one go, but most of them are mostly more akin to nonsense

But the fact that Goldfinger showed up on that telescope Wikipedia as well as Goldfinger directly relating to photographic plates was just straight up bizzare.

I have found a possible lead. On the assumption that the answer actually has something to do with Mars (because of Eureka/Mars Stadium), I just started trawling through a list of Martian craters and found one named after François Arago. @sharp flame briefly mentioned him a while back, I think. He was a was a French mathematician, physicist, astronomer, and freemason. He is known for:
Rotary polarization, the polarizer, eddy currents, Fresnel–Arago laws, Arago spot, Arago's rotations, the Arago telescope, work on the wave theory of light, the connection between aurora and magnetism and he performed a pendulum experiment in Leith, Scotland. He also may have suffered from blindness as he had Bright’s disease. He won the Copley Medal and has an inner ring of Neptune as well as lunar and Martian craters named after him, and has a medallion on the Paris Meridian to his name. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/François_Arago

“In Greek mythology and religion, Themis (/ˈθiːmɪs/; Ancient Greek: Θέμις, romanized: Themis, lit. 'justice, law, custom')[2] is one of the twelve Titan children of Gaia and Uranus, and the second wife of Zeus. She is the goddess and personification of justice, divine order, fairness, law, and custom, and her symbols include the Scales of Justice. She is also associated with oracles and prophecies, including the Oracle of Delphi.”

"Under most circumstances, Vega is used as the zero point"

Vega became the first solitary main-sequence star beyond the Sun known to be an X-ray emitter when in **1979 ** it was observed from an imaging X-ray telescope launched on an Aerobee 350 from the White Sands Missile Range

# timid solstice First this I notice is the O is more alphabetical than numerical

Another thing about O/0

The Roman astronomer Ptolemy's used Omicron "O" as Zero in The Almagest.

"Since the letter omicron [which represents 70 (′ο) in the standard system] is not used in sexagesimal, it is re-purposed to represent an empty number cell. In some copies, zero cells were just left blank (nothing there, value is zero), but to avoid copying errors, positively marking a zero cell with omicron was preferred"

Johann Baptist Cysat, Swiss Jesuit geometer and astronomer and one of Christoph Scheiner's pupils, becomes the first to study a comet through the telescope and gives the first description of the nucleus and coma of a comet.
September 6–25 – The Great Comet of 1618 is visible to the naked eye.
Biology[edit]
Fortunio Liceti's De spontaneo Viventium Ortu supports the theory of spontaneous generation of organisms.
Medicine[edit]
The College of Physicians of London publishes the Pharmacopœia Londinensis.[2]
Births[edit]
April 2 – Francesco Maria Grimaldi, Italian physicist, discoverer of the diffraction of light (died 1663)
Jeremiah Horrocks, English astronomer (died 1641)

however this^^ connects to Ceres right in the first image

so I'd say it's very solid

"in 1879, William Huggins used photographs of the spectra of Vega and similar stars to identify a set of twelve "very strong lines""

the 404 does indicate something not found, not existing I think

#

One thing I've been thinking about, which we covered early on (so may have been when we got close to the answer), is any link between the egg-equation and the vesica piscis.

#

The vesica piscis, when turned sideways can be used to draw an eye.

#

An egg-shaped eye results in astigmatism. "Astigmatism occurs when either the front surface of the eye (cornea) or the lens inside the eye has mismatched curves. Instead of having one curve like a round ball, the surface is egg-shaped. This causes blurred vision at all distances.

#

George Biddell Airy discovered the phenomenon of astigmatism on his own eye.[42] Airy presented his observations on his own eye in February 1825 at the Cambridge Philosophical Society.[43][44] Airy produced lenses to correct his vision problems by 1825,[42][45] while other sources put this into 1827[46] when Airy obtained cylindrical lenses from an optician from Ipswich.[47] The name for the condition was given by William Whewell.

#

Sir George Biddell Airy (; 27 July 1801 – 2 January 1892) was an English mathematician and astronomer, and the seventh Astronomer Royal from 1835 to 1881. His many achievements include work on planetary orbits, measuring the mean density of the Earth, a method of solution of two-dimensional problems in solid mechanics and, in his role as Astron...

#

The resolution of optical devices is limited by diffraction. So even the most perfect lens can't quite generate a point image at its focus, but instead there is a bright central pattern now called the Airy disk, surrounded by concentric rings comprising an Airy pattern. The size of the Airy disk depends on the light wavelength and the size of the aperture. John Herschel had previously described the phenomenon,[12] but Airy was the first to explain it theoretically.

#

In optics, the Airy disk (or Airy disc) and Airy pattern are descriptions of the best-focused spot of light that a perfect lens with a circular aperture can make, limited by the diffraction of light. The Airy disk is of importance in physics, optics, and astronomy.
The diffraction pattern resulting from a uniformly illuminated, circular aperture...

#

@pure loom , The Mark of Zorro was the movie Batman's parents had just watched before they were murdered, and Batman is supposedly based off of Zorro (double identity)

#

and then yeah. Batman 'Year One' began on issue #404

#

Oh wow

Batman: Year One is an American comic book story arc written by Frank Miller and illustrated by David Mazzucchelli. Year One was originally published by DC Comics in Batman #404–407 in 1987. There have been several reprints of the story: a hardcover, multiple trade paperbacks, several deluxe editions in hardcover and paperback format, and an ab...

#

Year One, #404

#

crazy, right

sharp flame
#

but could be coincidence

#

however it very neatly ties up are Time = Zero and Zorro clues

#

since Vega is off the table for now

sharp flame
#

I forgot how we originally connected Zorro

#

(before Vega)

#

The Z on NamaTama, and the Z in the blanket in the last tier

#

But the Z also could be a W

#

The mark of Worro kek

sharp flame
#

aha yep

#

just how we connected it

#

in terms of astronomy and such (if we even did)

sharp flame
#

Zorro and California is definitely there

#

"The supporting cast features Eugene Pallette, Gale Sondergaard, and Robert Lowery (the second actor to portray Batman on film)." haha interesting

#

Zorro - Spectrum Game?

#

woah

#

we might have mentioned that at some point

#

okay okay wait

#

maybe.. this is how it connects

#

"Tristar"

I found another evidence that points to Polaris being the Diamond in the sky.

"It's part of a lesser known Asterism called the engagement ring".

"Polaris is the diamond, and the other stars trace a dented ring."

#

what is this place for exactly

sharp flame
#

some could call it an ARG

#

or a puzzle

#

but basically all we need is a password

solar glade
#

damn

#

fish carry us in this hunt

agile wadi
#

so in here we try and discover easter eggs

#

from the game?

#

or something that might reveal about the game

sharp flame
#

yep

#

but for now

#

the easter eggs come from official art

#

released by Embark

#

hey Rob! 👋

agile wadi
#

so any art that gets released, y'all try and see what it has hidden?

#

i gotta go back to work – i'll finally be available to contribute back here next week. until then, glhf hunters

slender lodge
#

we already finished tier a,b, and c and now we're doing tier D and it's been going on for ~85+ days

#

all the clues are connected and itll all link to a bigger picture once we've finished all 3 tiers (or more)

Hi all EE-hunters.!
I’ve been reading up on all your amazing work during the last couple of weeks, but, hmm, perhaps I'm missing smething... or did you get anywhere with the /burrw page...?

hidden nacelle
#

nope

#

😦

sharp flame
#

well actually

#

I think there was a Sonic thing..

#

and a minesweeper ..

proud minnow

#

here...

#

YMF292

#

we got quite far with that

proud minnow
#

GOOD CATCH... ._.

sharp flame
#

it would probably be useful for you to know where we ended up

#

I'll try and find that

sick stone
sharp flame
#

Is this.. perhaps.. included?

#

I think that's as far as we got (Euler being called 'Cyclopes' included)

sick stone
#

Polyphemus might be in there though

sharp flame
#

we'll see..

proud minnow
sharp flame
#

oh...

#

wait, so Euler.. is connected, but not through Sonic?

#

and also all the Sonic stuff we 'found' 🥹

#

no freaking way

I guess we need to backtrack a bit..

"The academy was founded on 2 June 1739 by naturalist Carl Linnaeus (+others)..."

#

^^ Linnaeus connection

timid solstice
#

I know its pretty rough but still

slender lodge
#

Rob mentioned the /burrw hint
I wonder if that 'diamond' hint leads to a separate EE or if it fits with tier D

sharp flame
#

if you wanted to look at it as a clue

#

but obviously doesn't connect further

#

as Rob has severed it

timid solstice
#

I just remember other things related I found before. just reminding me but I think this means the path wouldnt go there

sharp flame
#

yep

timid solstice

#

in fact Sonic the Hedgehog not being connected

#

actually

#

narrows it down

#

the YMF292 clue at least

#

it has to be connected to the Sega Saturn directly

#

but only that

#

so perhaps Saturn is all we should draw from it

#

yeah, so that saturn shape

#

like the other clues

slender lodge
#

O wish a slash also pointing saturn

#

but what after the saturn

sharp flame
#

exactly

#

Titan?

#

nah, too easy

#

'TITAN' was in the very first image

have fun

idk, it has to be, right?

slender lodge
sharp flame

either that or someone else is pointing towards the academy

I already saw a few purple names

Not related to the EE hunt but kinda cool that it's shown up

timid solstice

it is related

Johann Elert Bode went there.. maybe that is related?
