Ive been plodding away quietly with my one. It now has all sorts of lines and circles all over it, and some very interesting things have popped up.
The real interesting breakthroughs however are happening with my friend "Humps" who has dived into it "boots and all".
Mr "Humps has cracked some very very interesting things with his maps. Im going to get him to draw a precis of his discoveries so far so I can share them here, but I can tell you a few things.
Firstly, the distances and geometric positioning of the majority of aerial installations in the Wellington region are consistantly the same especially when looking at the larger installations on top of the bigger hills.
He has also found that an extraordinary number of hills and mountain tops are spaced evenly apart and often when you draw concentric circles from specific points, they all seem to fall on or right next to the circles. The point being that it seems that the landscape itself is all geometrically and mathematically constructed rather than chaotic and random.
When looking over his maps it is striking the patterns and geometric shapes that are appearing from the lines and circles drawn, for example (please excuse spelling) a large fibonnacci spiral radiating from the centre of Mount Victoria found by drawing circles from all the surrounding aerial installations 14cm away on the map.
And the patterns formed by drawing lines from hilltop to hilltop whilst measuring their distances.....loads of evenly sized triangles all running alongside one another!
Its weird and wonderfull and getting weirder!!!! |

Hi Smash,
That sounds very, very interesting. :shock: It would be great to be able to place those maps on Myst NZ. The problem for you would be how to get them to us in an appropriate form. They can be photographed, of course, and sent as a jpeg (better still as a tiff on a CD) then we'd do the rest of the work to make them ready to publish, possibly as PDFs... |

| Just to clarify that, take the photographs as TIFF if you can (or the highest quality setting your camera can go). If they have to be saved as JPG (ideally not), save on the maximum quality setting available. |

| "Humps" has told me he is getting an internet connection soon and he will be joining the effort here. He is much more able to explain his discoveries than I am. |
