29 to 17.

Not pictured, but 3 explicitly describes a downward path to the next room.

The door from 12 to 39 leads down and is correct… not sure that there are many others, though.

Regarding the weighted average map created in Gemphi: I know that this is supposed to be a conceptual math of the paths in the Maze, and not a spatial map of the maze. Nevertheless, it may have some spacial significance. Rooms like 37 and the deja vu rooms of 12 and 28 are Path rooms that are clearly above ground. These appear on the left or upper-left part of the map. Conversely, rooms 6, 38, and 40 are Trap rooms far underground, and these appear on the right side of the map. Rooms on the ground floor, like Room 1, are somewhat in the middle. Perhaps this map actually works in trying to create a spacial conception of the Maze? Perhaps we can use this map to estimate the height of the various rooms?

There are some limitations to this thinking. Room 9 is almost certainly at or below ground level, since we can see dirt there and it can be reached by taking a path from Room 27 that appears to go down, yet 9 is at least two steps to the left of Room 1 and is relatively on the left side of the map. However, I would note that just because the path from one room to another APPEARS to go down or up, doesn’t mean the second room is actually below or above the first as implied. (Is there any path in the Maze that clearly seems to lead down that is the right door? It seems like all of them are bad.)

Based on the weighted map (which does not distinguish between 1-way and 2-way connections), it looks like every room is connected to at least 3 other rooms, and a sizable portion of the rooms are connected to exactly 3 other rooms.

Room 32 and 16 violate your model like a sore thumb. It is a loop room, yet it has a entrance leading down to a room on the path. It must be room 4, since stairs already lead down from 32. It could be possible that room 4 is indeed below room 16, serving as a nexus in the heart of the house….

I thought the ladder in 6 came from 8. Room 8 has a light, but room 17 does not seem to have one.

Not the architectural information, the acknowledgment that you owe me money.

Hey, that’s pretty interesting.

I think I owe you money for all your proofreading, I am great at proofreading other’s material but for some reason I suck at proofreading my own. :(

What it should say is something like, “The low arch in Room 17 that leads to Room 6 is reminiscent of the ladder openings that appear in Gothic architecture suggesting that the low opening is the top of the ladder in Room 6.”
