" I don't know why you're jumping to heraldry, but I do agree that it looks like a spool—I've always thought it was a reel for the strip of film in 25. "

" Since this room is part of the “ loop “ , it seems that the sundial along with its columnar pedestal base and its shadow (when combined) , take on the appearance of a spool with an argent tincture. "

" If you replace “Thomas” with “you’re” and “the” with “on” and “rhymer” with “the entirely wrong track”, the puzzle practically solves itself "

" It’s probably just a coincidence, but I am curious as to how the following might be interpreted. I took all of the last letters of the words: milleniu(m), centur(y), decad(e), yea(r), mont(h), wee(k), da(y), hou(r), minut(e). And when I rearranged these letters, it spelt out... "

" Is there a connection between the beater on the title page and the drum from page 1? "

" Or it could be an ethereal sign of an unseen character, while looking through the fourth wall. Might have something to do with chirality, from a phonetic introspective. "

" The cover image of the entrance differs from the prologue in a number of ways which I suspect are design choices. "

" @vewatkin Is there any clue as to why the jar, which is gone on the book’s cover, reappears during the “ Prologue “ ? Or is there some kind of an esoteric argot involved here as well? B "

" “They failed to see the real sign, while looking through the obvious.” - I think this is more of a statement and less of a dilemma. Because I’m assuming that the real “ sign “ could quite possibly be phonetic in nature. And a phonetic... "

" @Aria - Is that a rhetorical question? "

" All other doors are indicated—what's "left"? "

" “The ringing stopped as soon as we entered.” - Would this be in reference to a phonetic pause from the letters “ p “ and “ b “ ? Because I know that if you were to add the letter “ b “ to the... "

" Yes! Noted since the Bailey days, though a good reason for this connection eludes us. "

" “This can be a sinister place.” - Isn’t the word “sinister”, a synonym for the word “left”? "

" Can elaborate on this connection? Bacon's use of the king herring image seems interesting, though the sources I found upon a brief googling included low res pictures and somewhat unclear explication of the subject. "

" Does the herring on the Book’s cover and the extended width above the entrance to the Prologue, relate to any connections between that of the Herring King and Sir Francis Bacon? "

" I don't see the "faith" where you describe. I'm not sure what you're talking about with the psi, neither what website you mean nor why a hidden symbol on that website provides a solution to the book. "

" @vewatkin - I discovered the symbol for the “ psi “ on the far right side of your website’s title page. Would you mind clueing me in as to why the word “ faith “ is written upside down to the right of the hering,... "

" Does it contain a Y or a psi? It's not clear what you're talking about. The only room referred to as having no floor is 33, but it doesn't seem to have any clear Y or psi in it, and also doesn't talk about looking... "

" @vewatkin - Well, the room that I’m talking about (according to the Gide) , is the one without a ceiling or a floor. B "

" What room are you talking about? "

" With the “ y “ looking sign being that of the “ psi “ . "

" Would the sign while looking through the obvious, be the “ Y “ looking sign, while looking through a two way mirror? Got the idea from reading about “Mise en abyme” which is derived from heraldry and translates to as being “placed into abyss”. "

" No offense intended, it was a sincere question. "

" @vewatkin My bad, bro. If my arbitrational requitals seem to be a moot and forlorn topic, IAM sorry. I just thought that Jupiter Optimus Maximus had something to do with the woodrow that can be found in room 45, as the mirrored initials J.O.M. when... "

" Are there any relevant similarities between the line you're quoting and the thing you're asking whether it's in reference to? "

" @avert -“My crown, my pain, the fire in my eyes.” Is “my crown” (MAZE) a reference to the Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus, which is said to have had a wooden based structure? Does “my pain” allude to the structure that turns into petrified stone?... "

" Isn’t (Is unknot (torus) ) obvious? "

" If “my body is a temple” as the old adage goes, then would the MAZE be the body of the (minotaur) guide? Also, is the entrance (cover) supposed to be another version of the pi symbol which has a tittle (dot) above the door in... "

" Another thought about this room. What's going on with the "I've always felt at home here" comment? I think the stable-type doors and the crown tell us about the Minotaur's dual nature: animal/human royalty. "

" I've always thought the "crown" was meant to be a pun referring both to the crown and to the bald guy's noggin. But for what purpose? Here's what I think. I think Screaming Guy's gleaming baldness draws attention to his FOREhead, which is in turn... "

" Oh, the doors don't look like Us to you? "

" no "

" Ooooh, even those electrical wire staple thingees! U-shaped. "

" The room is signalling a U turn! The shapes of the doors and the paperclip especially, but also the string, the fringe, the electrical wire, the feathers or scales on the hand -- all those U shapes. The word "you" in the text, not unusual,... "

" Is the books cover in reference to the defined meaning from the Tower of Babel? My idea behind this inquiry came from the the word “ by “ and the face of a bull which I have been able to discern more clearly by rotating... "

" no "

" The truth value of that assertion is obvious, at least. "

" No, none. "

" Is most of the inscribed symbolism throughout the MAZE related to the Tuareg/Berber language? B "

" Isn’t it obvious, that the silent film director, namely Cecil B. Demille, is instructing the audience to read the signs, while listening to the chronophone? "

" Isn’t it Oboes? And does the umbrella refer to a Crumhorn with a muting bell cover? "

" I'll take it! "

" That's too harsh, that is a pretty reasonable pi r there, just not a good explanation of why it's there. "

" I guess I better understand what you're saying, but it seems a bit farfetched, at least without more support for drawing these conclusions. Again, the vast majority of doorways are shaped like upright rectangles. You find this door to be peculiarly designed (which I'm not... "
