mentalEngineer's Theories/Speculations

[Jatsko]

sounds like too many wires to keep track of.

[mentalEngineer]

The word 'Root' has many meanings but a interpretation is that it means 'The origin'. This would make sense because this is the first area in the subnet.
What else has roots? Trees.
This system works just like a tree with branches, breakaways and leaves. (Wires, Connection boxes and Rooms)

Location 104 is in proximity to location 314?

[Jatsko]

I've thought about 104 and the 55- locations being near each other before, but I never thought to draw that conclusion between 104 and 314. Wow.

It makes sense if you think about it (although I wonder if that left corner should be brown instead of ruby red, what with the Sub2 Revisited version). We know in 452 that there are two screens with a statue on the left, so it would make sense for there to be another two-screen location with a statue on the right (duality of the Subnet). Good work!

At some point I'm going to have to print out each location in the Subnet to be able to rearrange them to build as much of a physical map as I can. Also need to see how the map of the Human Infestation fits into that and if it can be of help with the structuring. I'm sure there a lot more places that are nearby each other if we look hard enough

(It's an interesting concept with the telescopes, isn't it? The ability to look through the void and, way way off in the distance, see another place emerge from the darkness...)

Did you wait for that time? because the time that you replied was 3:14 XD


Also, its hard to map the subnet based on panels because there are varying spacial distances between them.

Telescopes could also be facing the place were statues are from different angles, or even be exactly opposite. If the statues are really in the same location.

[Jatsko]

The time was a coincidence As far as the map I'm not concerned with exact distances and placement, just using it to get a better general sense of where things are in relation to each other.

[mentalEngineer]

A Map of the root/lighthouse locations. (That would fit)

White - Portal Transport
Red - Physical
Dark Green - Root Transport

(Its really big, so zoom out)

[Lord of Flies]

I think it doesn't show many locations accessible via root transporter.

[Jatsko]

At some point I might draw a 3 d sketch of that whole area to better understand it with all the root locations.
