»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?

i like that! well spotted Akshat

Thank you.

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

Hahah. Thats hilarious.

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

You could be right...

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...

Overlaying an approximate grid you get

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

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:

cool AG

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

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.

hungry I was indeed

marl64 already posted a nice screencap somewhere else... here is the picture, but I cannot see any similarities...

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.

Thanks.

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..

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.

Heh Im stupid.

Ya good point. Can anyone read that Braille in the movies? That would be helpful information.
