16 Hallucinations (15 Hallucinations and 1 Vision) [SOLVED]

I doubt anything visually in the image itself will give us clues since the code on the monitor is from an expedition, the book is from gravity falls, and the image was submitted by an operator that has no connection to the ARG’s PM or puzzle designs.

The filenames for the images are the only thing giving us a key, and I think vision being the only intellagable one, was supposed to lead us to Monoyer. The april 1990 post is probably the Architect now giving us an extra clue since we didn’t get there ourselves. The read order of a monoyer chart as well as how he hides his name in the chart, is probably our next clue on solving/decoding the HEX in 16 hallucinations.

Eh, I thought maybe the PM decided to adjust, play along, and go with the flow of what was submitted. There was furniture heard moving and all :wink: (And I was using the read order of a monoyer chart and trying to decode the hex.)

Reading side columns bottom up, all 34 characters (but if we ignore the first and last we get a nice number 32):

Just linking @Giane s posts that @Polyphemus looked into to discover the words ‘Lies, Reset and This is Real’. Especially as ‘real’ seems to come up a lot in the Matrix video clip in the Wreckage post. Giane’s audio #GlitchingReality on bskyapp is very well produced clearly professional with their use of software. Just got me curious they went to so much trouble to make something very topical.

Make a list of the hex in order that they appear on the 16 Hallucinations page:

  1. 0A8BB0156734
  2. 12DD862FD254
  3. 1BFD5D647A1C
  4. 1E31D7C81379
  5. 3C7A9E2B5F68
  6. 454D6E49B199
  7. 4E2B91D8A370
  8. 5167FF2C25FA
  9. 53A05806675F
  10. 766973696F6E
  11. 8740677A9483
  12. 9F3A7C2E6B81
  13. A7E9F3B8C2D6
  14. B1C9E4F072A5
  15. BCDCF4DFCEDB
  16. DD85AC69AE24

Now take the first two characters of each. The entire sequence is beautifully ascending by first byte if converted to decimal:

0a 12 1b 1e 3c 45 4e 51 53 76 87 9f a7 b1 bc dd

In decimal:

10 18 27 30 60 69 78 81 83 118 135 159 167 177 188 221

Monoyer was known to change the font of a particular letter if it didn’t suit him; after all, if you’re going to judge a person’s vision by it, that letter had better be as legible as possible!

All we know for certain, is Gekster is real. Sheral’s existence, remains up for debate.

Wreckage version: only the non-repeating rows, 8x62

“Logic”

  • 65DOS cover art + Matrix reference => tried to plot each 12 char image hex as data matrix; then combine in 4x4 grid according to “16 hallucinations”
  • In 8 wide version there were 17 pairs of repeated rows, which makes me think it’s the right track, it’s unlikly there would naturally be so many repeats and only pairs
  • References to repeating structure & wreckage => this version now has any repeated rows removed (62 remain)
  • Moyoner chart hint => I guess we have to read up the right side from the bottom and left side from the bottom; ignoring first and last char would be a nice round 60 characters

For context… Selfie Gek sent this in about 20 mins ago

Selfie Gek is a genuine soul who shows great care and understanding for those around them. Who wouldn’t want to be their friend?

As for Rinh’as message… damn. That is crazy

@BenR singled out the jar of eyeballs for having no colour earlier :eyes:
