The mysterious glyph

The mysterious glyph

First I would like to note that this is not about the glyph “mystery,” this is about a mysterious glyph that showed up not once, but twice, in the Investigate Ingress blog written by H. Richard Loeb. This glyph first showed up on Oct. 28, 2016, then again Jan 6, 2016.

When it first appeared on the blog, it sent the Glyphers (Glyph Journal reporters) and much of Operation Essex into a frenzy. What is this glyph? What does it mean? Has anyone seen it before? Will we be seeing in the scanner soon? It was analyzed and scrutinized. Arguing whether the second showing of the glyph was the same as the first. Is it a mirror of the glyph “react,” is it it’s own glyph was it an uncompleted “together?”

Much to the great dismay of the Glyphers, these questions went unanswered.
Until it was found that H. Richard Loeb was going to be in DC for the September #MagnusReawakens anomaly.

I went to the hotel the morning of only to find that PAC had made his way to the park where the Xfac picture was to be taken. Glyph picture ready to show on my phone and headed straight toward PAC, and asked him. Both he and Hank Johnson looked at this glyph. Neither were too sure what it was, and I was asked to find him later in the day. I did. I even had the blog pages that these glyphs appeared on. After much scrutiny, and suggestions that the glyph could be a mirror or even a rotated glyph. PAC was more than certain that this glyph was “erode/deteriorate”

I took this back to the Glyphers and they…didn't like the answer. And I agree it seems oddly out of place within the sequences that it was shown: Capture, victory, erode? Abandon, fear, defend, future, erode? I guess in an odd way, these sequences make a little sense. Capture victory or fade into nothingness. Abandon fear and defend your future or you will have nothing.

Or maybe it’s something more simple. Maybe PAC didn’t get the speed bonus for the sequences because he didn’t close the “together” glyph.

  1. Capture and liberate are rotations of each other. P and d. For example. Lead is a mirror of liberate. So, like b and d. Follow, while not a mirror, would sort of work as a rotation of lead, but not liberate or capture.
    The new glyph would be a mirror of react, or/and a "broken" together, assuming the glyphs are symbols. If they are not pure symbols, like unsimplified chinese, then perhaps closer to simplified chinese where they are something like phonetic. This seems like that, so we use a similar word/symbol, but "buy and bye." Is no help here, really.
    My guess, i think others are with me, the glyphs are more like a language based on a common, worldview, weltenshaung (spelling, no idea).
    The glyph "field/pad/loci" represents something in and of itself. And knowing what that field is, may hold the key to understanding what the glyphs are telling us.

  2. That last part lol. Love it. It's rather confusing for us Glyphers, one of the first times I think we have really disagreed with the insight of a glyph. But we intend to study it. We have already had quite a few conversations on it. Thank you Melissa​ for getting the answer for this!

  3. To me this seems obvious. It's a mirror of React. A reaction is what happens after an event. The opposite of reactive is said to be proactive. Being proactive is about planning.

    Capture victory, plan.
    Abandon fear. Defend future. Plan.

    To this I will add that the way Abandon is the opposite of Restraint is bent in its usage. To do something with restraint or to do during with abandon. But we see the sequences like "mind restraint" and "abandon fear." The translation does not map 100% to usage.

  4. Newton. For each action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Act versus React. Enact might be a better fit than Act, given how loose glyphs are when translated.

  5. Taking that proposal further, then Act + Body = Together.
