Sharazhad Posted June 19, 2009 Report Posted June 19, 2009 [color="#2E8B57"][i]I came across this while researching some stuff...It looks quite similar to what i had drawn while solving the Beserker puzzle.... Any comments? Ideas? Translations?[/i][/color] [attachment=959:beserkerpuzzle.jpg]
adiomino Posted June 19, 2009 Report Posted June 19, 2009 (edited) lol if only I could read that looks very interesting Edited June 19, 2009 by adiomino
Liberty4life Posted June 19, 2009 Report Posted June 19, 2009 i saw it while i was looking for something, cant remember how is it called, damn i know i was reading about it a bit those 3 line symbols, cant remember how it is called, bahhh edit: found it, its called I ching trigrams solid line is yang and open line is yin so picture is presenting some kind of balance, on one side lets say at the top is trigram with all yang, so at bottom is trigram of all yin
Udgard Posted June 20, 2009 Report Posted June 20, 2009 Isn't that the bat gua (read: pat kua) diagram?
Nex Posted June 21, 2009 Report Posted June 21, 2009 like lib said, they are the eight trigrams of the Yì Jīng. detailed explanations of each symbols meaning can be found [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Ching"]here[/url]
Sharazhad Posted June 21, 2009 Author Report Posted June 21, 2009 [color="#2E8B57"][i]hmmm so according to the link, the numerology involved in this diagram is quite significant. The first mention of binary numbers and its relative value to the elements. Of course due to the nature of this game and the puzzle, not many folk would have been able to solve Beserkers Puzzle, had it been laid out in true chinese fashion. However since numerals play an important part in solving the puzzle, and seeing (as I've learnt) that nothing is random; is it possible that the numbers that were required to be punched in in the device, were to be "translated" to binary might lead to a clue/answer to the disappearance of the statue in the park? [/i][/color] [quote]# 易 (yì), while as a verb it implies “to change“ or 'to exchange/substitute one thing for another'. # 經 (jīng) here means “classic (text)”, derived from its original meaning of “regularity” or “persistency”, implying that the text describes the Ultimate Way which will not change throughout the flow of time.[/quote] [color="#2E8B57"][i] If the puzzle is a Yi-jing based diagram, then we could say that soul(s) trapped inside are there because the owner(s) have substituted or exchanged them for something else? Power perhaps? And seeing that it is the "first quest" we solve it could suggest that although we take various paths on the quest, our ultimate path (to whatever, whereever) will remain the same?[/i][/color]
