I think this solution is elegant. Its not easy of course but its there
1) The message is under the circle
2) The first job is to produce a square line square symbol. AKA the voyager circle in a square.
3) On the far left the panel with a < and block under it has a dot adjacent to the block indicating the message is below the line drawing.

3) ON looking on the bottom left - there is a symbol that could conceivably be that square line circle.
4) The bottom quadrant of the sphere has two markings touching the circumference at 210 and 240 degrees. These markings tell you to look at the image from the bottom left, thats how you undistort.
Now working with the best quality audio i could find, the bottom panel doesn't resemble a square line square BUT if you look at it from the bottom left of the image and tilt the screen away it becomes a square....
The borders surrounding the panels are no longer fenestrated, they become solid.
On doing this it becomes apparent there is a second symbol below the first this is a square with a 2 in it and then a square, perfectly vertically aligned.
Take this image and look at it from the bottom left of screeen as if you are at the far left seats of a cinema, and you get a square a line and a square in top far left

The image changes as you look at it from the perspective of the bottom left, just as the sphere asks you to do.
Now in the second panel when viewed from that perspective text begins to line up too. Yes there is noise and other things that could be letters, but as you look from that perspective certain things become clearer.
Now i think i can make out certain letters aligned as i've put in posts, but first see if you agree that there are letters here beginning to be readable.

Now don't decide just yet what these letters may spell - is this suspicously like letters? more so than before? than we are on the right track.
I'm sorry if i'm frustrating people with my persistence, but i'm quite keen to get everyones thoughts.
