What is the geomasks' relation to it's 3D coordinate system it is rotating inside?
Why use suspended panels of dots instead of dots that wrap on the surface of a sphere?
Surface to air satellite vectors?
What are you guys and gals thinking?
The rectangle we can see in the middle of the sphere tells us the sphere is not rotating perpendicular to the angle of the rectangle. Instead the sphere that we're looking at is tilted in two dimensions, the more noticeable of the tilts is almost 45 degrees, as pictured on a certain groundbreaking site I will link because the math is purely [url=http://www.divulgence.net/Tropic%20of%20Cancer.html]awesome[/url]
Secondly the more acute forms the bottom, tilting upward right appears to be close to Earth's:23.5
My three possible explanations for this:
1.Bungie did this simply so the FFT will fill out "easier". Let's move on.
2. a)The more acute angle distinguishing the bottom side of the square does in fact mark the axial tilt of the Earth
b)The vertical reference of the 3D mapping is based on the new magnetic north
c)The actual axial precession is at almost a 45 degree angle because of the traveler's attached itself to the gravitational well of the Earth and altered it dramatically (storms can affect axial precession).
Or maybe it's a before and after if the Earth's axial tilt changed to 45 degrees Puerto Princesa would be close along the original (yeah it's latitude, soo) of Seattle...
3. We are looking at the traveler or the Earth from some bizarre angle, possibly overhead hiding in the Oort Cloud, away from most objects that orbit Sol along the elliptical plane
If the output is a bird's eye of Puerto Princesa, What do you think the geomask is a view of?

I'm pretty sure I read on the Misriah ARG page (not sure if it's the old one or the newer one...) that it is actually dots on a globe based on activity, then put through a series of mathematical transforms such as stretching, tilting, etc. to create a symmetric map of dots.
