Who/what are these?
The wise man, I presume, was the person mentioned in this note:
Once there was a man who said he knew what was happening after Murtaugh left.
Since then that man left us as well.
But the others??
The "Others" were followers of both groups, Mur and Liz.
The "Wiseman" came from here...
last summer I went camping under the big waterfall of Kent. I guess this was a great trip for me, however some people do not understand why. Well, I did lose my left arm, but what the hell, I found out that I had a third
arm. The invisible one. Since then I started to learn how to use my karma arm, and soon my skills were those of a master. It wasn't a surprise to me when people started turning their backs on me, since I was considered to be a freak and mentally ill. Funny thing, I can't tell them the truth, it would be like explaining the possibility of space travel to a goldfish. So I'm just trying to
When I read this note, it does not appear as a Simple "Camping trip". You know how we are wondering the purpose as to why the Player of the Submachine is doing what he is at all? Like shutting down the Defense System, coming out of the Loop? We are going through the same thing Mur went through.
The "Others" mention in Liz notes, are in a manner of speaking "Average" people like you and me.
Like how we live out our lives, and some of us are smarter than other people, yet some of those "Average" people are elected into government? Who to say the "Others" didn't form a government system while in the Core.
But the whole reason for the Player Existence is to restart the cycle of the Submachine Story.
We are being "Born" through our mother and father, Mur and Liz.
You want to know why we haven't "Seen" anybody?
We are IN History.
We are IN Memory.
For example, the Loop...Murtaugh went through it as well.
When Murtaugh put his arm into the waterfall, he noticed that he no longer had an arm, but seven of them. That was not something unexpectable.
What is a miracle, though, is that after he removed his arm from the waterfall - he still could see all seven layers of his left arm.
We (The Player) then leave the Loop. After "Gathering" our collective thoughts of ourselves. The Loop is a Test of the Mind. Remember what it said in the intro?
here is no Diary Page
There is no Menu
There is no Spoon
There is no Trash bin
In fact there is nothing to collect at all
It's just you and the machine
The whole time we are playing the game, we the people of earth. When we are trying to solve the puzzles what are we doing?
THINKING!
And what do we do when we try to think?
FOCUS!
Then We (The Player) then end up at the Lab.
Not longer after that he understood, that focusing them all in one place created a portal. That was because all of his arms from all of the layers met at one place and caused he interdimensional karma flow at his fingertips.
Nobody could predict that the enlightenment would cause such destruction. Even Murtaugh himself didn't know what happened. He was already looking at all layers at once. He was already removed from one-dimensionality.
To be back in only one layer, Murtaugh had to lose his focus. After he focused his mind back on the structure of the plan, his exploration teams didn't understand what happened. Some called it abandonment. Others - rapture. No wonder they panicked.
They did not even have a philosophical device to comprehend the true nature of his disappearance.
The Player, all through out the series has been wandering around through key points in Mur and Liz "History" within the timeline they both lived.
You how some ancient cultures speak of how life never ends?
That Life as a whole is born?
Then grows.
Then lives.
Then Die.
Then is reborn out of the remains of the previous life?
Like the Egyptian mythology about the God Ra?

How is it possible, that people are still coming through the loop and trying to turn off the defense systems? After all these years...
- What would you have me do. Destroy his creation? Destroy the whole section?
- I don't know... Maybe...
- You're talking about destroying our history. What next, book burning?
- No, of course not. But maybe... A sign? That it's no longer necessary to shut down the defenses?
- And what about those in the eighth layer?
- I stand corrected...
