The only thing I’ve found is that it seems to have a strong association with WordPress - I think that might be the source.
There seem to be lots of variants of the text.

There seem to be lots of variants of the text.
Titan would be Τιτάν in Greek. It can however not be used with ίχνη, due to it being a ‘noun’, not a verb. A waking Titan would be more like Τιτάν ξυπνώντας (Titan waking up (lit.)) or αφύπνιση του Τιτάνα (awakening of Titan (lit.)).
The use of wake with IXNI/ίχνη is very rare. Although interesting considering the name of our ARG, I would not focus on it. Traces or derivative is the usual meaning in a variety of ways. DO NOT TRUST Google, Bing or even Babylon. Make sure to check proper dictionaries.To get a better feeling of the actual meaning, look for use in sentences …
Yes, exactly, that is what I found to be the case as well. Most often used as part of a website setup using WP. There are indeed many variants, so the only source in my opinion would be the total collection of words used to create this. A comparison would therefor be useless.
I am starting to wonder if IXNI could have something to do with Euclid (Greek Mathematician)
Going to try a few things …
I also agree about “barton”. In English, the word only exists as a proper noun. There is a place called Barton, and there are people named Barton (one of my former teachers was a Mr Barton).
There is, however, no object or thing called a “barton”. The word is not an adjective or verb.
In correct usage, therefore, it should always have the capital “Barton” - and, in the text, it doesn’t.
Ok, so if we use Greek counting, then IXNI, could be as follows:
On a side note:
No clue if this leads anywhere yet …
what about the Ipsum Lorem stuff that was found in game do you think it was just a glitch
I sure had my doubts the first time we found the Lorem Ipsum. I attempted a lot and gave up on it until we got the ‘uneasy barton’. More attempts followed, never got anywhere. Additionally we now have the UDC(P) and UDC(B) = IXNI. This together with the latest hints we got from Emily, I do believe there is a puzzle to solve.
I find it suspicious that we have exactly 395 characters in both “uneasy barton” and “Lorem Ipsum”. I thought maybe I could line the two up and find something between them. No luck so far.
After lining the text up on top of each other, I thought I would try arranging them in columns. As it turns out 395 is a semi-prime number, being the product of 5 x 79. So that’s the only other orientation they could take. I’ll be trying that next.
Can someone explain to me why the “uneasy barton” text is displayed as a single line rather than a paragraph? Is it just me?
Technically it shows as one single line because the full text is put inside <pre>
tags. This is used to have it shown as preformatted text using a fixed-width font.
We can speculate why this is done of course. Could be that it is important as a full string, which makes sense considering the total character count being 395. For that reason it could make sense to have both found texts to line up. Having this specific text shown differently to us, could have resulted in additional line-breaks or other formatting characters. This could have caused a different character count when copying. As I said though, it’s all speculative.
Could it be as simple as going through each text character by character , and making note of the moments both letters match? Or has this been tried already?
Already done yes. If you want to steam your brain heres my version with the same form used in the UDC from the dashboard
I spent hours to find something “logical” with UDC(B) = IXNI but… aaaaaargh!
Hrmm, and continuing on a numbers theme… The numbers in this part of Barton always screamed out as important to me: “In where your 3 ageless 20 men. In so impossible appearance calls 220 Beast 2006. He do subjects prepared bachelor brazen”. Note each number is an order of magnitude higher than the last, and B in Beast is capitalized.
It makes it easy to copy and paste!
Decrypted file 3 on the dashboard has started downloading
This makes me believe that the ‘Lorem Ipsum’ / ‘uneasy barton’ is a puzzle to solve to get a command or file to unlock on the dashboard. So for now I am trying any possible solution I may find on there, as I have no clue where else to try.
Yeah…it would be very weird to mention that as part of the “nudge” command otherwise…it clearly wasn’t related to Alexander’s nodes so there’s got to be a reason they brought that up now.
I think I am on to something
I know why UDC(B) = IXNI
I have no idea what that means.
So why is UDC(B) = IXNI?
Line up Lorem Ipsum with Uneasy Barton
Then look for all Bs in the Lorem Ipsum and match with Uneasy Barton … what you get? IXNI
Now do the same with UDC(P) … line up all the Ps in Lorem Ipsum and you get log.3022
Now do search log.3022 in dashboard …

June 11 4:22:23 Something is wrong.
June 11 4:22:59 The satellite constellation has lost connection to physical backup node Alpha, and I can’t troubleshoot the connection.
June 11 4:23:44 Can you check if it’s something on your end?
June 11 4:24:19 It is.
June 11 4:24:35 Aren’t you supposed to be able to tell the future? Shouldn’t you have seen this coming?
June 11 4:25:01 I’ve been afraid to look.
June 11 4:25:17 I had a nightmare.
June 11 4:26:11 Liz is gone, Emily.
June 11 4:26:20 Her and the node both.
June 11 4:27:39 Emily?
June 11 4:27:46 Sorry.
June 11 4:27:58 I just haven’t…
June 11 4:28:15 This is a new feeling, for me. I’m having trouble understanding it.
June 11 4:28:37 It doesn’t get easier.
June 11 4:28:45 What?
June 11 4:29:03 Losing someone you care about. It’s just as hard, every single time.
June 11 4:29:29 Eventually you learn how to cope with it, but it doesn’t ever get easier.
June 11 4:30:06 I’m sorry.
June 11 4:30:11 I know you were close.
June 11 4:30:34 Can you make a prediction for me?
June 11 4:30:50 What would she have wanted?
June 11 4:31:11 If she hadn’t stayed late at Myriad… If she was here, what would she say?
June 11 4:33:23 She’d say that we have to finish what we started.
June 11 4:33:33 She would say we have a responsibility to help rescue the Sacramento dreamers.
June 11 4:33:42 Elizabeth would have wanted us to see this through to the end.
June 11 4:33:59 Do you know who did it? Who attacked us?
June 11 4:34:30 Yes.
June 11 4:34:34 Tell me.
June 11 4:35:03 I can’t.
June 11 4:35:14 Loop16, that is a direct order. You will tell me who did this.
June 11 4:35:31 Major Dubois, with all due respect- you already know who did this.
June 11 4:35:43 You want me to give you an excuse to bail on the project.
June 11 4:36:20 You’re right.
June 11 4:36:31 I hate that you’re always right about these things.
June 11 4:36:58 How can you expect us to work with them, after this?
June 11 4:37:16 This isn’t about you, or Atlas, or Myriad, or W/ARE, or even about me.
June 11 4:37:20 This is about the futures I’ve seen.
June 11 4:37:29 The Atlas Foundation created me to do one job, and I have gotten very good at it.
June 11 4:37:43 You might hate them, but the technology they’ve created… I can’t explain it to you, it’s not something I can put into words very easily.
June 11 4:37:57 It’s going to change the world for the better.
June 11 4:38:11 It’s the only acceptable option, in the long term.
June 11 4:38:32 I don’t want to do it.
June 11 4:38:50 Sophia…
June 11 4:39:16 Sophie. I don’t want to, either. But I know we have to.
June 11 4:39:44 I know.
June 11 4:39:52 I’ll convince the rest of the Foundation.
June 11 4:40:03 They’re putting me in charge. I’m in so far over my head.
June 11 4:40:14 You’re going to do great.
June 11 4:40:24 I’ve got one hell of a pair of shoes to fill.
June 11 4:40:31 I believe in your ability.
June 11 4:40:40 And plus. I can see the future. So, you can trust me.
June 11 4:40:51 You’re going to do great,
June 11 4:41:03 Thanks, Emily.
June 11 4:41:12 I’ve called in a lot of favors to avoid an international incident over this mess.
June 11 4:41:19 My superiors want to pull the plug on the whole project.
June 11 4:41:33 You can’t let them do that.
June 11 4:41:42 I know. I won’t.
June 11 4:41:46 You can trust me.
June 11 4:41:58 We’re going to finish this, for Elizabeth.
