Enter the labyrinth. Decode the signal.
Arrived at the outer boundary. The terrain defies cartographic convention. Rivers flow against gravity. Staircases return to their origin. Compass readings are unreliable.
cf. Escher, Print GalleryDiscovered a signal emanating from below the surface layer. Frequency: 1de9b6 Hz. The signal pulses at irregular intervals, as if responding to observation.
quantum entanglement?The geometry of this place is recursive. Each chamber contains a smaller version of itself. I have stopped trying to map the descent and instead am following the signal.
fractal depth: unknownThe walls narrow. Each step compresses the space between observation and meaning. The signal grows louder.
Geometry folds upon itself. What was above is now beside. What was distant is now intimate.
The cipher reveals itself not through decryption but through descent. Understanding comes from going deeper.
At the bottom of every labyrinth is a mirror. At the center of every quest is the questioner.

The signal does not originate from a fixed point. It appears to exist in superposition — everywhere and nowhere until measured.
