LATERALUS CONFIGURATION

here you go guys i beat lateralus that last boss was hard but i won in the end here you go

this also applys to 10,000 days the letters line up perfectly diagonally if you dont believe me count them your self (include the spaces when you count) or copy this into wordpad and choose a mono spaced font like lucida console or fixedsys i would have uploaded this as a image so you could see exactly how it lines up but i clicked the file option thing and it didnt work

disposi T ion
reflecti O n
faaip de O iad
ticks and L eeches

latera L us
____tri A d

man T ra
th E patient

the g R udge
___par A bol

parabo L a
eon bl U e apocalypse
schi S m

its diagonal and follows the Fibonacci sequence also follows the vicarious hand thing on 10000 days and even though the song is not on lateralus it works for the album how his hands are like _\ || / his hands represent the track order starting at disposition which is the middle finger move down 1 to reflection then move down 2 to faaip then move up 3 to ticks and leeches then down 5 to lateralus (when you get to this part you might think you go to the patient but you dont you go back and forth between lateralus and triad) and then finally triad now notice where reflection is its 2 away from the end of the album but it is the reflection of the song that is 2 away from the start of the album the patient however we started with disposition which means that we do the same thing only reversed starting with mantra so move up one to the patient then up 2 to the grudge then down 3 to parabol and youll notice there's only 3 songs left and theres only one way to make them fit so we get parabola then eon then schism


if you would like me to explain some stuff on 10000 days let me know

Re: LATERALUS CONFIGURATION

please note im not done with 10000 days yet but i know some stuff

anyways the videos are instructional videos

FOR EXAMPLE the way the guy puts his hand like this _\ || / in the video for vicarious is the key to the songs see how the middle and ring fingers are together thats songs LIKE lost keys and roseta stoned (these songs may NOT actually go together but this is just a example) so the index finger would be the pot and the pinky finger would be right in two

now the song lost keys actually refers to secret track 69 in undertow after you wake up in your ditch you go to your car but the doors are locked and if you remember there is also a expensive leather camera case inside the car so now in 10000 days you get your lost keys back so you can go into your car and get your camera which is why the 10000 days packaging had those stereoscopic lenses this also refers to secret track 69 when reverend Maynard says DAMN YOU LET THE RABBITS WEAR GLASSES the lenses on the packaging are those glasses

10,000 days and undertow are connected which is why they are the only 2 albums that have pictures of the band members

so there are 11 letters in 10,000 DAYS (including spaces) and there are 11 tracks on the album so if this is the same as what i did for lateralus you can actually spell out 10,000 days with the letters in the songs however there arent enough 0's but there are enough O's so back to the hand thing in the video for vicarious so lets look at the songs i picked at the beginning of this (ONCE AGAIN THIS IS JUST A EXAMPLE) so these songs The Pot Lost Keys (Blame Hofmann) Roseta Stoned and Right in Two look at those songs and the letters in them and then line up the words like this

___Rose T a Stoned
___The P O t
Right in Tw O
Lost Keys (B L ame Hofmann)

now since im not done with 10000 days that may or may not be the way its supposed to be (it may be another 4 songs that spell out the TOOL part or there may be no TOOL it might just be 10,000 DAYS without TOOL) there may be other ways to do that however this is how i solved lateralus and i found over 40 different ways to make it say tool lateralus so it might take a while for me to get it right on this album but when i do you guys will know

i still don't understand why spaces count as letters, though commanderKeen can you go into full detail on why you chose to do it that way?

Re: LATERALUS CONFIGURATION

you could be onto something Jag1364, i suppose we will have to wait for CK to approve your theory. I was thinking that perhaps, the message hidden within the track listing could be as follows; i think i read somewhere that Opiate was never really considered a full CD release by the band? Let me know what you think, guys.

the video clearly is about a guy(who is actually a snail) going to the mall to buy glasses at lenscrafters but after a brief discussion with the sales person(the tick) that makes contact lenses he decides to get laser eye surgery however he soon slips on the floor because that giant eyeball is actually the janitor who failed to leave a caution floor wet sign the guy passes out and goes into his shell where he realizes what those square glass things are and they are the song names and they line up with the letters in the songs to spell out 10,000 days however when they don't they corrupt which is why you see that in the video and the guy has to start over again

no no no your doing it wrong the letter at the end or beginning of one word has to line up with the end or beginning of the next word what you posted would wind up like this

_______latera L us
_______vicari O us
_________sw E at
___cold and u G ly
_______loSt k E ys

(i dont know who LOEGE is)

see how there all two letters at the end or they can line up like this


lateralus
vicarious
sweat
cold and ugly
loSt keys

or they can line up something like a mix of those 2

____lateralus
____vicarious
______sweat
cold and ugly
loSt keys


where the end of lateralus, vicarious and sweat line up with the end of cold and ugly and the beginning of lost keys lines up with the beginning of cold and ugly

SEE HOW THEY LINE UP!

Re: LATERALUS CONFIGURATION

i realized i made a mistake on this list if you notice schism the s doesnt line up with the u in lus in my defence i worked on this for 2 years with no help i have however found another way to make them line up which is more like how the album title is on the cover of the album it goes as follows ( either copy this track list into word pad or another text program and select a mono spaced font like fyxedsys OR just go look at it here http://noitcnuflam.deviantart.com/ar...2439-304431883 )

eon blue apoca L ypse|
par A bola|
the pa T ient|
ticks & le E ches|
|the g R udge|
|mantr A|
parabo L|
lateral U s|
schi S m|

T riad|
the voice O f god|
|disp O sition|
|ref L ection

this only works if you spell faaip de oiad
the english translation as the voice of god
i still think this is the way your supposed
to do this (how you line up the songs)

it occured to me that the patient's lyrics
were "im still right here" and i thought
that the patient would probably have to be
in the T spot so i worked on that assumption
and lined up the rest of the letters

i still dont know if this is the right way
though i have no contact with the band but
i know im on to something

if you would like to see a bunch of other possibilities ive found visit this site

http://noitcnuflam.deviantart.com/#/d4avkh7

its a animated image that shows about 40 different possibles ive come up with

Re: LATERALUS CONFIGURATION

although i would think so i havent found a way to make it spell out DAYS properly and if it is twenty three instead of viginte tres then it does work

just an example (this lines up diagonally)

Re: LATERALUS CONFIGURATION

i was looking at the tracklist image i realized that this is a lock, lost keys is the key, notice how TOOL and DAYS are intertwined, that is the lock part look at where lost keys is on this list and notice the 2 tracks around it that stick out to the left this is the locking part you turn that part to unlock it what it unlocks im not exactly sure but that is what it is i think you just rotate the days part however it could be the entire tool and days part combined

any further discussion on this please post on 10,000 days thread i started which is here

So Twined Tree is what I think comes from speeding up the spelling of number 23, of this roots from these some efforts what I've witnessed being told about changing the speedrate of the song, or tempo.
it may be twined tree but if you examine the actual song its 302 seconds long and the voice on the track comes in at exactly 203 seconds (203, 20, 3, twenty three) so it could just be a reference to when the voice comes in

also if the way im lining up the songs is correct then tool has to pick certain names for the songs to make the letters in the songs line up
