I don't get the UL appearing in open or solo, or in any of the machines in any of the rooms over a long period of time. Feels like a bug to me but I just wanted to check that I am not missing something obvious.

It's definitely worth reporting then, if you can get a video even better.
i had the same trouble lastnite when i was with a wingman,today i was on my own made sure i scanned every device inside then out logged out then back in and they finaly showed up in the smaller chambers

Nothing at the moment it seems. They grow outside the bases too.
Isn't this the decimal translation?:
542 / 6027
40 / 6027
47 / 46
I'm assuming that it goes like this:
000 = 0
001 = 1
010 = 2
011 = 3
100 = 4
101 = 5
110 = 6
111 = 7
Not sure where you get the Octal and Decimal from there. Might want to check the other two as well? (or maybe I'm just misunderstanding something, I dunno).

The vids a bit too quick for me to keep up with. If it could be slowed way down it would be easier.
Am i right that the Relic is the only guardian device to have an affect so far and that it will only swap out with Unknown link in the machine load sequence.
The specrtogram suggests that the Unknown link is a link between the UP and the UA over distance and if the above is correct, that then suggests that the Relic is also a link device of somekind (which is why the machine accepts it in place of the UL)... maybe they where used to network the different monolith sites together. as aerials.

Converting the binary triplets to octal numbers (coincidentally 3 bits is all you need to express any digit 0-7) is what got sensible results out of the UP chitters. To clarify, I'm not transcribing the binary into decimal. That wouldn't work, because 3 bits isn't enough to express all digits 0-9. I'm transcribing it into octal and then converting that octal into decimal, because I (and others, I imagine) don't find it easy to work and think in octal.

Looking at the two central circles on the spectogram.
They follow the same pattern as the compass on our ships, even down to the grid pattern.
The bottom one has a solid circle in the centre. On our ships a solid circle indicates target is in front of you.
The top circle has a hollow circle within the centre which is used to indicate an object behind you.

Why are you assuming the high frequency segments are binary '1's and the low frequency ones are binary '0's?
Flipping the '1's and '0's around gives the following ratios:
Code:
157 : 1000 = 0.157
31 : 1000 = 0.031
24 : 25 = 0.960
18 : 125 = 0.144
31 : 1000 = 0.031
189 : 200 = 0.945
151 : 1000 = 0.151
1 : 25 = 0.040
937 : 1000 = 0.937Back when I was working with the unknown probe distances, I remember the aliens liking 'clean' ratios of 1000.
Would those numbers make any sense on galactic grid?
Fair question. I assume it because that's how the UPs worked.
Yeah you are right, I cannot deny that there are very different length of flashes. The fact that I cannot make any sense of them doesn't mean that there is nothing in there
I'm not alone in thinking that's writing along the top there, right? Looks like letters and numbers?
My understanding is that what people are doing is interpreting each digit as being base 8, which you then convert to decimal, so:
542 / 6027 base 8 (because it's 3 bits) becomes
354 / 3095 base 10
Which is 0.11437802908 as a division.
Because floating point division only works in base 10. This process has been assumed because it's the same way that the UP broadcast its data - and that was confirmed to be correct by Mr Brookes pre-doing a runner
It's also reasonable: if you were broadcasting decimal digits, then binary is not a good way of doing it, as you will regularly waste 1 bit-worth (6 combinations) of data because 4 bits most naturally wants to be base 16.
3 bits fits octal perfectly, it's just no good for any real maths!
