Braille?

I dont know whether this was mentioned or not. It didn't turn up in a search. The doors to the quarters of Zionites are marked with Braille dots. Those are used by the visually impaired; the blind. I think I have an idea as to what they signify. I think they signify that all of Zion is blind. Blind to the truth of the nature of the Matrix. To the reboots; the various cycles; the nature of the One etc. Thoughts?

Nicely spotted, you have been busy with the dvd it seems.

Maybe they're in braille so neo can find which house is his in matrix 4 Razz

Well done AG, I was wondering myself what those were all in aid of...

You could be right... Cool

I like your interpretation of the signs... just want to add that it isn't "real" Braille... it is of course some form of code, but I see no way to decrypt/translate it...

I enhanced it to make it more "readable":

You can take it one stage further, ignoring the tiny dots which I wouldn't have the patience to deal with and concentrating on the big holes...

Looking at an interpreted version;

We get a 5 X 5 grid with dots that look a little like a 5. Shocked

And Neo was revision 5 of the Oneness thing.

Brilliant. Good job. That makes sense indeed. Who knows? Maybe the previous Ones lived the same room! Just kidding.

... SNIP ...

interesting, I overlooked the big holes first... is there a deeper meaning behind this holes? can it be decyphered?

I took an rather easy appproach and tried it with binary... this way we would end up with 5 numbers... if the holes represent 1 and the empty fields 0, we get this result:

the sum of all numbers would be 38... I can see nothing special in this diagramm...

my second try was reversing the meaning of the fields... here we get this result:

the sum of all numbers is 117... still nothing... if anyone sees something special in these numbers, please let me now...

the simple approach doesn't work for me... so maybe I was looking in the wrong direction... and then it struck me like thunder! what would someone want to encode on his doorsign:

this is of course the menu for the dock-restaurant! on Monday they ordered both the same, but for some reason they stopped this behaviour... while neo stuck with pizza from this day on, trinity tried chicken 2 times and a hamburger to finish the week... but I'm not sure if the middle row really represents hamburger... but it is a first guess...

ok, to get serious again... what would someone really want to write on ones door? the name of the owner (maybe the brothers left us a note which character the owners represent)... maybe... maybe some other information... or maybe it only means "please do not disturb"...

hope this thread goes on, I'm pretty sure, the code can be decoded and has some meaning...

Thumbup cool AG

The Pizza approach was also cool [s]aint. Have you been desperately waiting for dinner at that time? Whitelaugh

But the actuall picture with your grid resembled me somehow quite different thing. Merovingian's table in Hell club. Could anyone get a screenshot? You know, they were some glasses and some lines and the table was square-shaped. I guess the position of the glasses might be similar to the picture on the door. But that's only guess.

Hmm, you are right. Just a false alarm. My memory is fooling me ...

I noticed & asked about these braille looking door plates a while back looking for the meaning. I was sure meant something specific but wasn't familiar with braille, etc. My 1st thought was perhaps it was the tumbler code representation of the 'door of light' or such, but felt was unlikely conjecture.

I like all these ideas. I was very impressed w/your 1st approach Akshat as well!

I'm glad this item is being searched out & investigated.

Travelling while podless I found a baby sentinal & put it in my fishtank. It had sunglasses on but now they're off. It's in the Power of BELIEF!

Each door is different, so it must be an identification plate or something. I'm not sure. You couldn't put names on it because people die really quickly in battle so maybe it's about being more than a person, but less at the same time. I think I just confused myself...

The codes on the door could be something to do with the way the code on the ships falls, the circles being gaps where there is temporary blackness.
But I do agree, Zion and it's people are blind to the true nature of the Matrix and the programs in it.

You're right. That could very well be the technical reason for it.

Maybe it's the name of the ship the person inside pertains to. Or the ship a loved one is on. But then again.. not everyone pertains to a ship, and why would you really want to let people know what ship u r on?

I didn't understand what you meant by code on the ship.. plz elaborate.. Neutral

Who can read braille? It must mean something.

Didn't we already go over that?

Did you read the entire thread?

I mean the codes on the screens, like at the beginning of the movies where the green symbols fall down a black screen. Maybe the holes are sections of black screen, and the little dot bits are the symbols. I don't know, just playing with ideas. It certainly would encourage people to learn to read code though.
