JoJo Stratton  as well as my Niantic Friends. Some may have noticed recently that the rabbit hole I am currently in is very sound incorporated. JoJo Stratton  I liked that video you posted, but this should explain a bit more why have been trying to uncover the hints we have been given regarding sound, frequency, the glyphs, with a current focus on trying to understand Enoch better. 1. Sound vibrations, do not just look like a squiggly line. They have amazing geometric shape. Here is what sound looks like:   http://youtu.be/GtiSCBXbHAg 2. If that wasn't cool enough sound dosent just produce flat geometric shapes. It produces 3d geometric shapes: http://youtu.be/Y7KgqZEMpYU Scientists have found that sound vibrations can levitate objects, but what else can they do? http://youtu.be/Ude8pPjawKI But sound can also be used to kill a virus FOX NEWS Frequencies and sound waves KILL VIRUSES You see the waves, he sees the water Everything is Waves But of course the most important reason I am

Questions for this week: Easy:      Who is Hank Johnson trying to find? Medium:  What is his relation to Hank Johnson? Medium:  Who is meeting with Susanna in Las Vegas? Hard:   Who has a motive to harm Susanna Moyer?  (multiple possibilities) Hard: Who is Andy Nominus?

Just random thoughts on an old document -  https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uJWIlQr67-i1veZPHu9vFF_bQ6QkJHXcA3I-l290ecw/edit?hl=en&forcehl=1#null  IN this it was mentioned there were 7 shaper packets of data.....  was this an early reference in some format to a septicycle?

With talk of Devra's inoculation protocol moving forward, I was wondering if anyone had done a double split experiment with XM or CM to determine if single units create a interference pattern

Recently some themes have been brought up by the Niantic Project - the number 7, recursion, artificial intelligence, and ancient / lost civilizations. Given these (and others), I am suddenly reminded of some elements from an old story that I enjoy - http://marathon.bungie.org/story/durendal1.html http://marathon.bungie.org/story/tycho.html http://marathon.bungie.org/story/thoth.html http://marathon.bungie.org/story/latin.html http://marathon.bungie.org/story/seven.html

Edgar Allan Wright posted about Xm and trying to collect XM occurrences and observations - the post was shared with limited access - so I have copied it into a google doc - and posting it here to continue the discussion. He also stopped into the Essex Hangout (all Essex people welcome) and posted a few more items (he also talked about scripts and dreams )- I added that conversation as well to the document.   https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dlq2Y8afrRhoRTXkWyz4-54QCMclWJaxUVzGwjgMjk4/edit?usp=sharing   https://plus.google.com/u/0/101577681173166935630/posts/GzHegvYGvqk - recap of post with some summary Lastly - there is an XM page on the wiki I started and have not visited in a bit and it could use more research and help as well! http://niantic.schlarp.com/investigation:exotic_matter   http://niantic.schlarp.com/investigation:exotic_matter

Matt newman said this on another thread, and I thought it was worth bringing here: [...] do you think that devera's vaccine that she keeps rattleling on about is at least in part cm? It would make since wouldn't it? Make people immune by doseing them up with xm's polar opposite. That would certainly lead down a dark path in the doseing. But with all the leaks about cm flying about it wouldn't surprise me to hear someone is crazy enough to try it medicinally. Also devera was working for visur which we found out today was in the "xm as medicine" business, fascinating place to take our thoughts in the future I guess.

Hey folks. Quick question. So, our scanners show how much XM we have stored. But...the scanners don't use units. What is XM measured in, exactly? Grams? MeV? ....Newtons? When I have 10000 XM, what is that measured in? That can't be a whole lot, given it's trapped inside your phone-er, scanner.

So, I've been thinking about #DICE2014 and how involved ADA is in it. Considering the name of the event and the location being Vegas, it might be thought there would be some randomness in play, like rolling the dice. Then I saw this post by Ingress itself: https://plus.google.com/103320655754019011706/posts/ZzG3nMwkZoG Basically, the code in there is written in Ada (yes, its a programming language too), and calculates the Nth Fibonacci number, which isn't random at all. I might be just wildly speculating (ok, I kind of am completely), but I think using the Fibonacci sequence might just help us figure out what ADA is doing. Comments? Anything I missed?

Anybody make it to Las Vegas for the event?  I'm going to be there.

Daniel Richter has just answered this week's question correctly, so please add him. Thanks!

"If the perception is changed, does it matter any more what the reality was?" I remember a professor saying that.  What I cannot remember is whether I was that professor. Was I a victim of experiments upon myself or was I the creation of experiments on me? That's the question I am pondering not as I try to reassemble the memories.

This week's questions:  Easy:   What is a Septicycle?   Easy: What company created regional scoring and why. Medium: What other computer system was Ada assembled from? Medium: What does a sentient entity not do without a purpose? Hard: Which Corporation has decided to work with Chaotic Matter and why. Hard: Who is worried about Hank Johnson’s visiting the nest? Very Hard: What does Yuri think we can learn from the Anazktec.

OK - created the Mr. Azmati page - so far I have four items that reference him - if there are others, please add or comment here so we can continue to build the entry http://niantic.schlarp.com/investigation:characters:azmati http://niantic.schlarp.com/investigation:characters:azmati

Some interesting-looking frames I found watching Hank Johnson's leaked video diary. Sorry for the UI getting in the way of some of them! JoJo Stratton I think you were right about an Xbox advertisement.

Did a frame by frame analysis on Hanks diary video. As far as images only a few things stood out to me besides the obvious reflections that have already been talked about. I doubt they are Niantic relevant but thought i would share anyways. First we see the name Vattenfall in a trian station. with trains that have the name Regio. A Central European Train company.  Vattenfall on the other hand is one of Europe's largest generators of electricity and the largest producer of heat. Our main products are electricity, heat and gas. As I said probably not related. Also I saw a weird animation in a window during one of hanks scenes. Not sure if a reflection would come across that strong. so i threw it in slow mo and posted it for you to see. I dont think its relevant but its vibrancy its quite extreme for a reflection so i posted it for you anyways here. Hank Johnson diary slowmo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASVturrfDEU

Just doing some research on Infradian rhythm and cycles and found some research suggests without light and other external influences, the human brain's normal day extends to 25 hours... (I wonder if there is any light in the void where Jarvis was :)

As requested / mentioned before, the video backup archive is now a thing. Using the operation Essex account drive space the video backup folder is now a thing. There might be some videos missing so feel free to add them.  https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B3GIsuxwQcyXUlVxWnVEbnpNY3M&usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B3GIsuxwQcyXUlVxWnVEbnpNY3M&usp=sharing

Hank Johnson 's vlog dropped tonight. #ingress https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWiO7Lv0wAQ&feature=youtube_gdata_player

I have a question and perhaps Edgar Allan Wright has some thoughts or suggestions on how to proceed (or anyone else as well) :) There are a number of documents that we have encountered that have large parts redacted. Also, we have seen some factsheets and other documents from Global Analysis and other organizations on different projects, organizations and people. Is there some way we can perhaps access more of these documents or dig for unredacted copies? Is there a Freedom Of Information Act or petition type of activity that we could organize to obtain more of these documents.  I also would love to see more scientific reports or data dumps or any study type of documents. I'm willing to put together requests or other items if there is an idea of who or how to target... We need more data ;)

If any mods are around at this time, please allow Thomas Arteaga an invite to Essex as he has answered this week's recruitment questions. Thank you and have a nice day.

In Ingress report #42 I noticed that the companies have allied with colors. Did anyone else notice that IQtech was blue/green, Hulong global was red and Visur was yellow?

Just looking at different past collected data and leaked documents to see if there was anything in them that could now be better clarified based on the shaper septicycle. This was the Sat Survey V. Kureze and others did - not sure if maybe some of the numbers and cycles mentioned in here coordinate... https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1kgu-P4uiE9qyanE41cAPgHNDDCBvtBa85_DqbrLimYU/present#slide=id.p and  http://niantic.schlarp.com/investigation:exotic_matter#xm_studies_and_research for other sat survey linked. Other potential links or mentions of cycles, etc. that could be correlated???

Apologies if this has been shared previously but its an interesting take on some of the faction symbology. Originally shared by Leonard Low Want to know more about the faction symbols, the Eye of Horus/All-seeing Eye, and the Key of Man's Greatness?  http://ingressgear.com/2014/01/22/the-key-and-the-eye-hidden-meanings-in-the-faction-symbols/

"Spend time at the portals" and "bask in the presence of XM"... this is what the Jarvis Entity's manifesto said was required for the Shapers to Pattern us. While we don't even know if time has any meaning on the other side, it's clear that on this plane at least, Patterning is not an instantaneous process. One might imagine it to be akin to a long-exposure photograph; only objects that remain relatively motionless will be imaged in any detail. The linked video may represent how the general populace appears to the Shapers as they quickly pass from portal to portal during their daily lives.  http://sploid.gizmodo.com/this-cool-video-technique-turns-moving-people-into-ghos-1505186784/@caseychan

I am looking into the image Schubert shared in his last post - I am finding there are some very interesting pieces about that image and the person who created it.  I have notes and thoughts in this document and would love any feedback and thoughts - a couple of pieces that really jump out are 1. Lippius created the triad harmonic (associated with chords) and Lightman was mentioning the Harmony Glyph 2. A little more on the harmoinic - "Simple and correct harmonic triad is the true and triune sounding root most perfect and perfect harmony, which only can be in the world, as well as thousands and millions of sounds (all of which boil down to her [harmony] parts in a simple and composite unison" 2. Lippius studied theology, languages and music........ 3. that image links to dyads and diatonic intervals - is that what a shaper cycle is based on, a diatonic interval 4. Soundsmusic are a type of energy wave, Xm is energy... waveforms, is that a key? 5. this is from the wiki page ca

Wonder what if any insight this book would provide regarding ADA and her future attempts at influencing humanity. Originally shared by David Fuchs James D.

I/me/ self and you/other Originally shared by Stein Lightman

Just some speculation as I reread Felicia Hajra-Lee Level 8 book and try to make connections of why Dr. Brandt is pursuing ADA  - was it a potential thought by others that the glyph Hank found and thus what Kureze was doing was trying to either work on the Algorithm that Dr. Schubert mentioned in the 13Magnus video or even perform the ritual? in Level 98 - Dr. Schubert is mentioned as seeing Dr. Kureze body on the monitor - what if he had been working with Kureze.  Did they think that the CERN portal was the right portal (since Jarvis had appeared there) - did they think they had the right amount at that portal? And did they think they had the glyph needed? Perhaps it ties back to other links Kureze had... I still wonder what he was doing.

Looks like Susanna Moyer has leaked the regional scoring system that the Corps. have been working on in the Ingress Report today. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9uoMwnFUxw

Thanks to Daniel Beaudoin for finding this. I now see the results of the Reality Fashioning research I reluctantly participated in during graduate school.  At the time... And remember, this was the '70's, it was fashionable to discuss consciousness and reality.  But now, I see the implications. I suspect that the 'Perceived Reality' seminars had a much more clandestine purpose.  Let me say, even sinister purpose.  I remember the Professor saying, what happens when there is no longer a line between truth and fiction?  After all, all truth is only a perception and all fiction must reflect reality to be understood. Now, a book comes out describing a real event and it is categorized as fiction.  This goes far beyond hiding truth in place sight? It is reality masking. And here is what is even more mysterious.  I know for a fact that Felicia Hajra-Lee  wrote this book before it happened. http://plus.url.google.com/url?sa=z&n=1389892771687&url=http%3A%2F%2Fpulse.me%2Fs

The origin of the name Ichtaca suggests that this is a myth that originated from the Aztec.  Ichtaca is a gender neutral name that means Secret. Nahuatl is primarily spoken in Central Mexico. If the mountain from the tale actually exists it would probably be there. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nahuatl   http://whp.uoregon.edu/dictionaries/nahuatl/index.lasso?&dowhat=FindJustOne&theRecID=1597494&theWord=ichtaca . The presence of cougars which are also native to Central Mexico corroborate this interpretation. http://www.researchgate.net/publication/233513963_Cougar_and_jaguar_habitat_use_and_activity_patterns_in_central_Mexico Originally shared by Yuri Alaric Nagassa Stein Lightman has a gift of sorts, every time he speaks it transports me to a vivid memory I have buried somewhere in the back of mind. When I was perhaps 10 or 11, my young Anazktec friend told me the legend of a leader named Ichtaca who had led the tribe to great prosperity.  A deep sickness overcame him, a bl

IQTech Research should just change its slogan to "The face of Corporate + America(n Government)." Originally shared by Niantic Project “If his forces are united, separate them.” Sun Tzu in The Art of War Yesterday, a letter from Hulong Transglobal's Catherine Fan to Visur Technology's Ilya Pevtsov prompted me to ask the question: What will IQTech Research's next play be? The leak of an internal NIA recording of a conversation between Ken Owen and Ezekiel Calvin answers that question for us today: In an attempt to keep Visur and Hulong from establishing a collaborative relationship, IQTech will release Regional-Tracking technology they developed in-house. I am interested to hear your thoughts on this tactic. On the one hand, Calvin will burn months (or more) of time and money invested in gaining a competitive advantage simply in order to keep his two enemies from getting friendly. On the other hand, if Visur and Hulong combined their research teams, they could pote

Looks like another unorthodox glyph found in the the latest scanner update....  any thoughts? Originally shared by Old Sultan Dog

Hello Essex, Agent Ammaniel Medina has answered the  questions posted on the Operation Essex page on Jan. 11, please accept his application.

This research has been kept private until now. I present to you a series of glyphs that were photographed on the late Carrie Campbell's body, the day of her untimely death. Some other researchers and I have tried to put together and speculate the meaning of the most visible glyphs among the photographs taken.  Thank you Joshua Reiniger and Anthony Castanza for your contributions. This research is now publicly editable so please feel free to add your own notes as Joshua and Anthony have or leave your ideas in the comments below. With the owner's permission, I will attempt to post the original photographs to the Essex community in the near future. Thank you.

Shaper Septicycle, mentions of a bug with a prime number cycle....  Is a Shaper Septicycle simply a week? Originally shared by Niantic Project How will IQTech Research and the NIA respond to the threat of a unified Hulong Transglobal Transglobal and Visur Technology Technology? Catherine Fan responds to Ilya Pevtsov's letter from last week. The implication is clear: IQTech has been developing some kind of technology that will enable them to track XM activity on a regional level against something called the 'Shaper Septicycle.' As a response to the threat, Catherine proposes that Visur and Hulong merge their research in that area in an attempt to surge ahead of their US-based competition. One can safely assume that if I've been able to obtain this intelligence, IQTech and the NIA had it long before me. The ball's now in their court. If they indeed have developed this new form of regional XM monitoring technology, how will they maintain the upper hand if Visur and Hul

#ingressglyphs   Originally shared by James Thirteen This is one of the first calibration grid tests that are currently being conducted. This version represents a 3 dimensional grid with 21 calibration points. As you can see the grid lines up when rotated about it's horizontal axis every 90°. When rotated through it's vertical axis it only lines up at 180°. Could the fact the grid only lines up on one axis indicate a direction? Like the grid is pointed at something when the instructions are executed. Similar to how the portal key system works? There would be several ways for the lines of the glyphs to be laid out. We hope rotating the grid would give other glyphs not yet seen. Also with the idea of combining glyphs to expand their meanings as  Anthony Castanza has mentioned could represent possible control functions of the portals yet to be explored.

Originally shared by shi zhao Does anyone know? What China companies Hulong Transglobal  chinese name is?

just a thought and wondering if there are others interested in organzing this. I had someone ask me about Essex and where to go to catch up on the story. Of course there are sources and pieces but it is so complex.  I was thinking, could we organize a hangout or a place to post where new players could ask any and all lore related questions and whomever is there works to answer the questions and point them to the resources. Yes, I know there is the concept of having a person explore and find the answers on their own, and for something, I agree, but as the universe grows bigger, the task becomes more and more daunting. For some even knowing where to go to answer some of the Essex questions is a huge hurdle.   I am thinking of a place were the same question may be asked 100 times and it may seem very simple. You know, like the info station at the airport that has 100 people ask every day which way to the restrooms when the sign is right behind them.... Not quite sure of how to accomplish

I would very much like to know what Essexians make of this.  If you have contacts in relevant geographic locations relating to the principles of this story, please send current photographs and scanner screens.  It would also be of great interest to know what Stein Lightman and +Martin Schubert would have to say about this. http://decodeingress.me/2014/01/09/the-roots-of-13magnus/ http://decodeingress.me/2014/01/09/the-roots-of-13magnus

I was playing around with a 10 shekel coin and suddenly noticed some very familiar letters in the ancient Hebrew script. Did we notice these similarities before?

After reviewing the glyphs presented at the culmination of #13Magnus  is San Francisco, I decided to revisit the "Advance" glyph.  Basically a straight line, and without the convenience of being shown with it's calibration grid, this one has been somewhat challenging to transcribe with assured accuracy.   The image on the right (2.) was my original transcription, however I am now leaning more toward the image on the left (1.) as it is straighter without the slight bend that is in the other.  Of course, that may also have to do with the accuracy and symmetry of the calibration grid I am using.  Also keep in mind, that Anthony Castanza has a transcription that cuts out the middle point altogether and shoots the glyph line straight from point a to point b. Essex agents, what are your opinions on this?  If you need the original glyph image to compare it to, it can be found in this video:   The Glyph Message: #13MAGNUS Edgar Allan Wright Stein Lightman Any input?

A message from Misty Hannah, or rather from somebody through Misty. I find it interesting in light of Edgar Allan Wright's musings of if he is in a zero sum game. The idea that, for each new thing he learns, he will forget two things. Implying a shrinking pool of understanding. While Misty's poem states that for each known thing there are two things waiting to be discovered. I think there might be a more literal meaning to this than just representing the potential to expand understanding exponentially. But the sentiment is still there. What do you think this poem means? Is she talking about Carrie... coming as it does on the heals of Hank Johnson's post about Carrie Campbell? Originally shared by Misty Hannah Friends, happy new year. I have something to report.

I've been thinking about XMPs. Specifically, why XM in its natural form can destroy XM constructs, but Dark XM was needed to fracture the XM entity Jarvis, such that he could be reformed in physical form. We are missing the XMP card, which is unfortunate. But I think I have an idea of why the two behave differently.            I believe the difference in the two reactions is that resonators and other constructs are "static" forms of Exotic matter, while XM entities are more "fluid". XM in our dimension seems to always be in flux, decaying gradually back to the XM substrate as it flows from portals. BUT when constituted by the "Resonator DNA" sequence used by scanners, the XM is forced into a static, stable, ultimately lower energy form.         Because XM has both wave and particle properties, its useful to think of it as disordered signals with snippets of ordered data in natural XM. This is why Resonators are needed; to remove the signal noise. Reson

If Hulong Transglobal agrees to put aside their differences with Visur Technology and form a Co-Op we can forsee much more new XM Tech coming out from both their Companies released in the following months as a result of shared resources and production. The possibilities are endless in the design of new XM constructs so more resources and creative minds working together means boundless opportunities. What interests me most is Ilya's motives behind demarcating "Zones of Influence" and how it will be determined whether or not a zone is under the influence of [Corporation name here]. My guess is that Corporate Headhunters will be contacting Resistance and Enlightened Agent's or Agents could apply (this could have already begun with #EliteV ) and have them retain their Faction membership but also be employed to an XM Company, thus making any portals owned and fields created by them contribute to their Corporations influence in the current zone they are operating within. O

If we take what Hank Johnson (and to a lesser extent Roland Jarvis) claims to be true we know this about XM, the dead, and #13Magnus: 1) The "XM fabric" is a transdimensional substrate of concentrated XM. (Susana Moyer confirmed this) XM entities of Jarvis' type reside here. No word on whether Shapers do, too, or are an aspect of the XM itself. 2) Patterns of humans may exist here, and is described as a void, a darkness, by Roland Jarvis (side note: this is so exciting in a nerdy way because it CONFIRMS photons don't reside in the XM fabric). 3) 13Magnus may resurrect humans, but only with: A) the right portal B) the right amount of XM C) the right glyph sequence 4) Roland Jarvis was killed by an assassination, but was resurrected. Witnesses report strange events and glyphs upon his head. Were the glyphs the "starting material" required for resurrection? We know the algorithm exists, but is there a proper "XM" embalming process in addition to the

Here are the transcripts for the three parts of the Welcome to Niantic speech given by +Devra Bogdanovich - many interesting tidbits and brings up many questions - here are a few I have part 1 1.  What are the XM spirals found by Dr. Nagassa Part 2 1. So Roland was very well known and he has art all over, I wonder if these may become significant in future story. 2. Hank and Kureze worked together before? Do we have any other documents linking them? Is this the first mention of that? I wonder what project that would be or what study? Part 3 1. Mentions Carrie created the imagery and mentions symbols, I wonder what symbols are in those binders and did she create the Niantic Project Logo? 2.

Edgar Allan Wright I am writing this here to ask your and the other Essex members if this would be a good thing and allowable.  I wrote a request to Niantic about submitting a seminar event for GenCon 2014 to discuss all things fan and story related in the world of Niantic. I have heard nothing back, but was thinking, with your recent mention of getting the Operation essex story out there. Could I submit an Operation Essex event for GenCon and use that as a way to bring the truth to others? Event submission is Jan 10 and they have limited space so those submitted on the 10th have the best opportunity, is this something we could do?  A way to start to bring the truth to others?

I find it interesting and fortuitous that the Wired Magazine article should come out so close to Ken Owens' 'New Year's Letter'.  While the Wired Article plays along with the 'its just a game' spin Owens is putting on things, it is extremely informative and sould be shared with potential Essexians. http://www.wired.com/magazine/2014/01/a-year-of-google-ingress/ http://www.wired.com/magazine/2014/01/a-year-of-google-ingress

Interesting observation Originally shared by Adam Gilmore Evaporating XM: I've always been curious of the XM that appears to evaporate into thin air off of the tops of portals on our scanners.  The XM particles are vanishing, thus appear to be converting into another type of matter (in order to disappear) and going "somewhere".  Where is this XM going?  Is there some huge XM clouds up in the skies above us? If there is, why is it not periodically raining XM down on us (if XM can even do that). Or, is it just assumed that the disappearing XM is just falling to the ground every 20 minutes and thus gives us the XM on the ground to pick up.  If that were the case, then there should be snowhill-sized XM piles on the ground on portals that aren't visited often. Apologies if this is explained somewhere else already.  If it has been, I haven't found the reference yet. Maybe I'm just looking too much into this and should just ignore it. But I can't; this is bugging

Not completely on topic, but it is an interesting video that discusses the real-world concept of a "mind virus" http://youtu.be/O2hO4_UEe-4 http://youtu.be/O2hO4_UEe-4

Happy New Year.  I have more questions to contemplate and discuss with newer players.  I expect that Essexians could answer these questions off the tops of their heads.   However, if you find any of them difficult, feel free to contact me.  EASY: Who were the two corpses at the Zurich Train Station in the 2WillDie Poster (might want to put the poster in the newsletter. EASY: Who do you think was the female voice speaking to Katelina? MEDIUM:   Which Faction would benefit if Calvin and Owen manage to come to an agreement? MEDIUM:  Hank Johnson was not present at CERN on Epiphany Night, but he took something with him that allowed him to escape the Dark XM Portal. What was it? Where did it come from?.   HARD:  Last time we saw Dr. Brandt, somebody died shortly thereafter.  Who was it? HARD: Calvin, Owen and Phillips tangled right before a critical event last year. What was the event, and what were the consequences? VERY HARD:  Why did ADA select Katalina to use for her purposes?

If anyone happens to have pics of OLW's autographs from Reckoning Day where he Signed Jarvis is the Way and Jarvis is a LIE could you either send pics to me or Lukas Lentz it would be greatly appreciated ty :)

Essex. I stumbled across some things you may find interesting If you have Netflix make it a point to watch: Prophets of science fiction ep 2 Here is some highlight material for extra research.

Here's something interesting.... Looks like it might tie in somehow.

This is a fan art, and it might just be a way for ingress to show some appreciation for agents art: "Strange coincidence how well the Faction insignias fit together" However, the looks of this combination, that most of us has seen before, is always reminiscent of the Aztec and Mayan styles of art (more Aztec than Mayan). Since the Resistance end point of the 13Magnus, and our speculations around WWII were based on South America, it fits the possibility. Also, I always thought it is strange for the enlightened symbol to only be one eye, although this type of symbology is not unseen (the famous Horus Eye, which Yik Sheng Lee must know a lot more than me), I really think the use of two of them gives a better image. The usage of the Resistance symbol in a combined way, and with the lower part fitting so well, could be the indication of some bigger connection between them that surpasses its differences. In addition, the creative liberties of the artist in adding the red eyes, migh

We know that the Jarvis Entity was patching scanner devices before Jarvis left the project on Epiphany Night. That there were green fields already erected and standing when Dr. Lynton-Wolfe was just starting to determine how to link portals together. The question is, just what happens when XM, which exists outside the context of time, carries information from the future to the past, information that then affects the sequence of events that create that future? Has causality sawtoothed back on itself several times over the past year, to lead us to the timeline we're currently experiencing right now? Is it still happening? http://www.mjyoung.net/time/timeprim.html

Not quite finished with this - but wanted to get it out ahead of today's potential Ingress Report. It is the transcript for last week's Ingress Report - plus I am trying to put links to all of the documents and information shared so people can go through and follow the research - plus there is some static in there and images hidden (like images of Alice in Wonderland in ADA's Rabbit Hole Calibration - thanks Hugo) Also, I will be going back and starting to really look at the static in the other videos (during my 27 hour days ;)  but if someone else has already frame captured the static from videos and wants to save me some time :) https://docs.google.com/document/d/19HMXMC_Gc3TC32ef7Ss5rxhmuvT-VlhTNdUZxzloWZY/edit?usp=sharing Again, if anyone has made transcripts of any video/audio for NIantic, let me know (can add to wiki as well as the general bank of knowledge :)  #nianticprojecttranscripts

I don't know if anyone posted this before. But Linda Besh you are on this: http://www.theverge.com/2013/12/13/5207176/the-everywhere-arcade-how-google-is-turning-location-into-a-game-platform . :) http://www.theverge.com/2013/12/13/5207176/the-everywhere-arcade-how-google-is-turning-location-into-a-game-platform

Is ADA a Furby? I've been mulling this over since we last had a discussion in the Hangout about ADA.  In light of the document recently shared over at Niantic Project , I should probably just spit it out already. I had thought it was likely that she was given access to information and then learned to control things organically as it became "necessary" to assist with the project. Now I'm starting to think she is more like a Furby. There was something about a link that was shared in the hangout discussion that didn't quite sit right with me. (I will update the post when I find the link to the document) In this discussion where ADA is introduced to Calvin, she finishes the conversation with a statement like, "The information in my data banks indicate I should express the emotion of excitement". Let me explain the Furby connection. You all remember Furby's, they tried to make a comeback recently.  It was supposed to be that you would teach them things.
