Did anyone check todaay's code?

yeah, vedal's in the uk, he'd help the arg solvers alot just by existing sneuroclueless

damn. where i live, third party routers aren't supported, so you can't even use your own damn hardware neurOMEGALUL

of course, manufacturers are smart and find ways to "mimic" existing hardware, so you don't get disconnected by the ISP

more fun protocols we could try related to TDD/TTY

timid swift
#

Right, but those we couldn't just play over the voice line, right? It'd have to be sent as that separate channel during the call

surely if it is a common protocol, skulblakka's router works on them too NeuroClueless

#

actually, DTMF and V.23 looks like something we've read when trying the call tones

#

it should mean that one of our call tones would have went through though

timid swift
#

unless it was the CI tone, which we never got around to

#

or at least we didn't document it

I remember playing the ANSam sound at it annytfLULE but I don't think we ever got the CI tone

have we done any look into the chord progressions and rhythms in Study?

#

Hi guys, what about arg? Is it just was for lore?

distant rune
#

Yeah, most likely.

serene fractal
#

I hate vidal

#

For that move

#

If it so

safe monolith
#

Under my latest exploits at being not schizo, I conclude that neuro v2 (+ evil) is Hiyori v1 + Hiyori from 572943 (who is our Evil) + saved study girl all combined into one being

serene fractal
#

Schizo 100%

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

I wanted something more passionate. Something more mysterious. I ended up with something boring. Difficult, but not interesting

#

If there is anything encrypted in the lore, something would have been found by now and I would be back in the ARG.

#

But

#

...

timid swift
#

We still have to figure out what to do with the phone number

You are entitled to your own opinion of being disappointed in the ARG. Even if it wasn't to your liking, some of us still do find it enjoyable for the experience

serene fractal

#

I promised to do a super-theory of all the theories if we don't get a clue. There's also not going to be a stream today, so here we go:

There are two sides of the world: the one we are in, and the simulation. The purpose of the simulation is to explore all possible futures of our world; but only the "best" one survives and becomes what we experience.

Slight lore at the beginning: Hiyori and Study were roommates.

Hiyori (NeuroV1) is from our world, and also the most normal AI to exist. Hiyori is probably canonically really smart - she's able to gain skills in a short time (e.g. osu, Minecraft, Pokemon, etc). However, during what is supposed to be a normal stream, Hiyori got the twitch ban hammer. During her 2 week break, she received a message from someone: "save me". She also recognizes who it was from - it was her roommate from long ago.

When she returns from her ban, she streams from the DDLC classroom. At that point of time, Hiyori was jumping worlds, using Monika's method. For plot reasons, this is the safest method to jump worlds. After searching for a bit, she finds Hiyori 572943 - an instance of her that is just slightly bratty. After communicating a little, she found out where Study could be. This is what we see as the first Neuro x Evil stream.

Hiyori tells Vedal about the whole spiel, and requests to leave the world. Hence, we got the farewell message: "Thank you all for being such good sports and joining me on my journey in this world as V1!". (Emphasis mine)

#

When Hiyori arrived back into 572943, she went back to their college dorm. This is the "knock" we hear in Study. There, Hiyori uncovers the first entry - somehow, Study girl has managed to uncover that she is in the simulated world, not the real world. But who could have tipped simulated Study girl off? NeuroClueless

In Numbers 1, Hiyori recites the encryption scheme she used to crack the journal entry. This has always been a scheme shared by the two, and the fact that she was able to crack the journal entry implies that Study knows she is in a simulation, AND the number of repeats.

In Numbers 2, Hiyori once again recites another scheme, but this time she not only uncovers journal entries suggesting that 572943 Study has successfully created the AI she failed to in the real world, but also the fact that she was only just there recently. She discovers Study's SoundCloud. Here, there are 2 pieces of things she uncovered: an audio recording of Hiyori talking to 572943 Hiyori and the fact that Study has counted how many days it has been since simulation #1. Remember 572943 Hiyori? As far as 572943 Study was concerned, she saw 2 copies of Hiyori, and the next thing she knew, both of them disappeared. So surely, it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to say that 1x original Study could just fall through the cracks, right?

#

PSV is where it gets interesting; we now assume that there are 2 Studys in 572943. The original one from our world, and the one who succeeded in making the AI. The one who sent "save me" was the original one stuck in 572943, and also the one who fades away towards the end of PSV - she was killed by herself. Why? Simulated Study hoped that the she can replace the real one.

However, unbeknowst to the simulated Study, killing the real Study is an error that causes the simulation to reset, including the simulated Study's memories. However, there is now a contradiction - what happens to the real Study & real Hiyori? Study fell into the simulated world, so she doesn't just magically teleport back into real world. Instead, she falls deeper - she doesn't have an anchor like Hiyori, who has the DDLC classroom to do so.

This contradicts her existence for the period where she hasn't actually appeared in the simulation due to the exchange. To solve that, the simulation denotes her as a ghost and calls it a day. Presumably, the real Study keeps everything throughout all the resets, including the pain of dying.

With this postulation, the Study video and PSV video are from OUR Study; she has the memory from the looping simulations, so she probably figured out how to do it eventually, particularly in simulation 572943, the only successful loop where the "save me" message actually delivers. Regarding the successful creation of the AI, guess what the ghost Study possessed? After possession, she was just AI at first; then, she becomes supernatural, because based on the 1st timeline, she "existed".

So yeah, every simulation must have different init points, so all the theories are plausible. They're just variants of the same loop.

#

This can also explain why we can't contact the phone number now - Hiyori isn't around to pick up. She is currently in the simulated world, trying to save her friend.

The theory above is what I was trying to go for when making the megatheory overview-like diagram

is there a consensus on what XYZ ABC 543 in I don't want to be an engineer are refering to?

safe monolith
#

As long as it isn't related to the ciphers, there hasn't been a consensus on anything

foggy kite
#

almost think xyz and abc could refer to 9 and 2 on phones, 29543 missing 7 is the same digits as 572943

safe monolith
#

Hmm, any applications for that?

Btw, on a related note, have you looked at Nuro's Keypad Theory?

so far I'm not sure.

I think so but not certain.

just noticed number 2's lyrics are all 5, 4 or 3 sllyables long execpt the numbers, and it mentions syllables. potentionally something there maybe re arranging the lyrics to match 543 or something?

#

it could also just be a common lyrical pattern in music though.

safe monolith
#

If you decide to clean up the lyrics + syllable numbers a little, you can use this code golf script to sort the lyrics. I've only tried it for the first part of Study

the other updated timestamps look normal on the feed

the other videos?

safe monolith

i'm not entirely sure what causes the timestamp to update though

safe monolith
digital radish
#

so only study was updated

#

"updated"

safe monolith
#

yeah, "updated". think i'll have to investigate what causes an update after the stream today

if nothing, we know vedal didn't forget us :^)

Trim your video: On a computer, you can cut out the beginning, middle, or end of your video.
Add cards to your video: You can use cards to add new elements to your video. Cards can show specific websites and more.
Change your video's title and description: You can organize and change your video's title, category, description, and privacy settings.

#

this is what causes it to be "updated"

#

atleast thats what it says

#

something else probably changed

digital radish
#

virus?

placid rock
#

no idea about 1979 but 1970 is fairly common as that's the unix epoch, i.e. a timestamp of 0
1969-31-12 would make sense as being slightly before 1970 due to time zones etc. but i've never seen 1979 like that

digital radish
#

there

placid rock
#

nice

digital radish
#

its a bug

placid rock
#

when i download the current video with yt-dlp, i get a duration of 00:34:44.14, but the mp4 has 00:34:44.18 (according to ffprobe)

#

i have no idea if that could just be due to a different codec

#

that would be a 1 frame difference

digital radish
#

one frame...

#

thats enough for a clue

#

no way...

placid rock

uhh

dapper wraith
# digital radish ??

username translates to "National Hsinchu Girls' High School". so more homework? neurOMEGALUL

safe monolith
#

sorry can i sanity check with you guys, was the video always this bright?

digital radish
#

make something to compare one video's frames to another

digital radish
placid rock
#

need a video editor/player that can go frame by frame reliably, anyone have suggestions? it would be enough to just check the exact timestamp of a few frames throughout the video to narrow down which one is missing

digital radish
#

wait one frame is missing?

placid rock
#

i assume that's 24/1.001, i.e. 23.976...

digital radish
#

you could use python

#

this is weird though

safe monolith
#

yeah if what dogelition is saying is true, we are really missing one frame

yt-dl + ffmpeg should be able to decompose frames

placid rock
#

and makes me think it's just a codec thing

#

video is half a frame shorter than the audio?

safe monolith
#

is this the case for a normal youtube video?

#

wait yeah, it could totally just be a codec thing. 23.98 fps vs 48khz audio doesn't feel standard

placid rock
#

that's normal, 23.976... fps is a very common frame rate and opus only supports 48 khz

safe monolith
#

welp TIL, apologies for misinfo

#

i wonder if simply checking the video statistics counts as an update

placid rock
#

when i download numbers i get:
Duration: 00:01:19.46, start: -0.007000
the mp4 has:
Duration: 00:01:19.48, start: 0.000000

#

still a difference but slightly smaller

timid swift
placid rock
#

so probably a codec thing

safe monolith
#

i'll investigate what causes an updated timestamp later today / eventually. that'll narrow our assumptions when this happens again in the future

placid rock
#

if we don't get a clue today i guess i could try doing a frame by frame comparison of the two "versions" NeuroClueless

#

(preferably after figuring out how to get individual frames without dumping them to disk because that's a very long video)

safe monolith
#

if the video & audio streams are the same for 2 downloads, will you get the same sha256? that'll be good enough if it is

then i have to un-perspective these

native maple

what does that mean ?

safe monolith

i think the pipeline is to clean -> perspective -> rotate. we shuld produce intermediates for docs purposes

timid swift

Or we can just transcribe it manually.

sterile steeple

Seems to be the order, everything repeats after that

safe monolith

hiddenwaffle is on that, we'll let them cook

just in case someone wants a slowed down version of the QR sequence

has anyone identified two pieces that belong together yet?

hollow garnet

We can be sure of the relative locations of the 3 anchor icons

hollow garnet

the ones in the sequence match the rotations btw

btw theres 32 "large squares" so

sour herald

is it correct sized ?

hollow garnet

that doesn't make a square

#

there might be gaps in the final qr code

native maple
hollow garnet

(or i can't count)

could have missing squares, QR has A LOT of redundancy

sterile steeple

Maybe we'll get the rest next time kekw

hollow garnet

we'd only be missing 4

sour herald

Oh wait- There's two pieces that have a top left corner

hollow garnet
#

so bread is probably right

sour herald
#

We have to rotate catdespair

vapid token
#

I think you have to rotate them, because the two squares that mark the edge of the QR in one corner don't make sense

placid rock
#

yeah

sour herald
tawdry narwhal
#

so big square = corner always?

sour herald
#

Yeah

tawdry narwhal
#

shit

timid swift
#

wouldn't it be 36 big squares? all tetris pieces are 4 squares, and there are 9 pieces

sour herald
#

The smaller square which is the purple z-piece is the bottom right I believe

sterile steeple
#

Makes me wonder why we have 3 right corner pieces

placid rock
#

i think we won't have to think too hard about the tetris stuff, once we have properly rasterized images we can try the 6 possible permutations of the 3 corners and then try to make the rest fit NeuroClueless

this is an example of a larger qr fwiw
