Umm...whoa! How did that get there?
Guess I didn't look at the source thoroughly...and for some reason one of the pics looks like it's from SimCity.

For those as confused as I was regarding the above image, if you click on the txt file posted above (http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/files/feedbacksource.txt) in INTERNET EXPLORER (firefox doesn't work FF + IE Tab extension does), the text will have the parrot et al background.
Still have the bizarre 100pg text blocks though.

Oh geez, I am confused again
This is the website
http://www.subject180287.net/feedback.html
and this is the source?
http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/files/feedbacksource.txt
Why is it just the same blocks of letters but on a different background?
for the record I'm at work (shhh, don't tell) on a Mac using Sierra and I got the text on the parrot/city/locker room guy(?) background, too. But when I select "view source" all I see is I guess Java programming with the text blocks.

I'm confused as well...I viewed the source from IE, saved as a text file, named it feedbacksource.txt for all to share, so it's exactly what's in the source code. What, then, is the direct URL for the BG image, because http://www.subject180287.net/bg.jpg is just the brain map.

I understand it now.
If you look at the source code at http://www.subject180287.net/feedback.html
you see:
Code:
body {
background-image: url(bg.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: top center
where it says bg.jpg means same domain and direcotry with this image.
http://www.subject180287.net/bg.jpg
On uFiction, someone has already uploaded a bg.jpg here
http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/files/bg.jpg
So, misleading info there.

the page background in the file is set as a "relative link", which means it just takes whatever root url you're looking at and pastes "bg.jpg" on the end.
It just so happens that the unforums site ALSO has a file called bg.jpg, so when you view the file from here, it throws THAT image in the background.
Ignore it, it means nothing!

Okay, I don't know if this helps, but if you look at the text in the first text div, each line is a string of repeating letter patterns.
However, until a certain point, the first, second, sometimes third, and last iterations are different (the first-third iterations are either missing letters, or contain a letter that is not present in the other iterations, and the last one is truncated). I don't know if it means anything, but here's the text from the first div section arranged to better show it:

Ok, one more question then - was the revealation of these new urls the result of "our" uploaded video or has that not happened yet?

Just in case anyone has forgotten, Beef Face is one of the Eva's nicknames.
Also on the word Triptych:
Quote:
From Wikipedia: A triptych (pronounced "trip-tick," from the Greek tri- "three" + ptychē "fold") is a work of art (usually a panel painting) which is divided into three sections, or three carved panels which are hinged together. The central panel is the most important one, and this is flanked on either side by two lesser but related paintings. The whole is intended to be greater than the sum of the parts.
Perhaps this is nothing. But three of the nodes are identified as the Triptych nodes (the fourth node in the center is not connected to the word Triptych), with the two we have access to flanking thelocked node in the middle. The locked node is clearly the most important of the three otherwise it would not be locked. Since the side panels in triptych art are supposed to be lesser but related, there is possibly some way to connect the two?

Couple of observations:
1. Each code block (if that's what they are) has 25 lines from what I can tell, except block 7, which has 24. - there may be others, I haven't counted them all yet but a limited sample suggests the rest have 25.
2. As Phaedra pointed out, there are minor variations within each line but each line is very different from the next. However, there appears to be some kind of cycling every 8 lines.
Line 1 from Phaedra's example above:

What the formula is and whether it runs the entire the way through the code I can't say, again though, a limited, quick and unscientific sample indicates that it may do. Well that's my two bits, handing back to the crypto-fiends now...

Just another observation, even if it is obvious: the fonts they are using are Courier New and Courier mono. That could be just a coincidence (I know, I know, no coincidences), but usually you use those fonts because you want all of the letters to line up exactly--no giving less space for lowercase "L", etc. That may be so that it looked like a nice block on the page, but then again, maybe not--it may be because the placement of letters in the block is important.

Locked node Actually, it isn't the middle node that is locked when I'm looking at the page--it is the node on the far right, which is labeled as a triptych node.
EDIT 2: Triptych nodes are part of a new type of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA). The "field" reference means that the array can be programmed after manufacture, "in the field." One definition I found for an FPGA is this: FPGAs are a class of programmable logic devices. They feature a gate-array-like architecture with a matrix of logic cells surrounded by a periphery of I/O cells. (URL here )
According to the paper I'm reading, Triptych architecture means that they blend the logic and interconnect resources which allows you to put together a large number of circuits. From what I'm reading, it sounds like the reason you do this is so that the logic parts of the different circuits are all close--meaning the physical distance from the logic part of one is close to the logic part of another. If you know a little about the desktop computer market, you probably know that this was one of the things that Apple did to speed up processing speeds in its product line--it actually moved circuitry so that the physical distance between them was shorter. Less distance to travel meant faster processing.
Anyway, what this means is that the logic calculations of all of the circuits are happening basically in one area--the matrix of logic cells.
What I think is significant about this is that there are THREE triptych nodes. This would seem to me to indicate that there are three different circuits (possibly more) that are interconnected in this computer core. I think maybe what we are supposed to be figuring out is what those three pieces are--and by that, I mean maybe WHO they are.
If anyone has any comments/differing opinions, please share them. The only way we're going to get this is to hash it out.
If you want to see the paper I read for some of this info, look here . (I viewed it as HTML rather than as a PDF so I could access it faster.)
