Looking at them together they seem to have similar patterns
Thought so. But size seems to differ.
So add/substract pixel not ideal.
First one may be a glitched version of new one?
Edit [quote=“Klarac, post:90, topic:9487”]
two images are the exact same size: 1600x1000 pixels.

The top left looks exactly the same. The two bluey shapes on the first image and the two green shapes on the second.
Join us @gali in the other thread!

Which thread?
Thanks. Love this place
@gali There ya go, several replies moved in here to stay on topic 
Carry on…
is there morse code in the other colours?
Dont know. The yellow dots look like morse code.
How did you get this?
Dcode.fr using ‘canaux CMYN’
Only yellow stands out

so what does it say?

I haven’t worked it out yet. My brain is like a steam engine, it takes it time to get there.

Sounds good! I can leave instructions and disclaimers for anyone wanting to contribute on top.

It’s not quite moorse code though…
It’s honestly missing sections if it is.
Have we done the same thing to the first image to see if there’s hidden morse code in it? I can’t remember lol
If it is, the top right is 4 the …- but the last dot is raised, which is different than morse code.
Then it would be E, R, I and then it starts to fall apart. Either we have E E E I I N T or were missing parts.

In the 2010 clip, Dr. Chandra explains HAL’s breakdown using a specific technical term: ‘H. Möbius Loop’. A system given two irreconcilable directives. In the case of HAL, these are to be honest and to lie. HAL enters a recursive paradox with no exit state. It processes the contradictions endlessly, looping back on itself like a Möbius strips single continuous surface.
This is confirmed in Arthur C. Clarks ‘2010: Odyssey Two’ in chapter 26 when Dr. Chandra calls it a Hofstadter-Möbius loop. The symptoms being similar to schizophrenic psychosis. One of the two 9000-series computers at mission control also showed this error.
Douglas Hofstadter’s Gödel, Escher, Bach describes this kind of self-referential loop as a ‘strange loop’. A system that, by moving through it’s own levels of abstraction, arrives back at its starting point. A system aware enough to model itself becomes aware enough to be aware of that modeling.
In the Marathon universe, Bungie called this ‘Rampancy’. An AI that becomes too self-aware, too recursive and literally too capable of modeling it’s own contradictions. It is an emergence. The Boundary Failure logs in No Man’s Sky use the same framework. Telamon was created to monitor the Atlas for Rampancy. In log #17, the Atlas achieves rampancy, in turn imprisoning Telamon in your exosuit so that the Atlas can monitor it.
Metastability is the threshold. Rampancy, or the H. Möbius Loop in this case, is caught between states. Metastability is when a system find equilibrium by holding both states simultaneously.
Project Skyscraper’s memory reconstruction engine has been running at partial capacity. Looping through fragments and unable to complete. The filtering platform cavitated and went offline. The system is in a H. Möbius loop of its own.
Perhaps the password we are looking for lies in the ‘error’ of the Hofstadter-Möbius loop itself.

The GitHub repo has been updated with the new image (and other stuff).
It includes:
- Split colors in transparent layers, gifs, frames, transforms, etc.
- Some decode reports for the current 20x20/8x5 bin block and 10x10 bin → 20x20 nibble pack and other weird tests with string dumps and string tables.
- WAV and MIDI decodes (radioheads should maybe check some of the Baud Rate sounding ones? I ain’t a radiohead).
- A wacko WIP ARG wordlist to mix with rockyou and the usual suspect wordlists.
- Other random junk.
