===What's Known===

* Sente is the Master of the [[Perplex City Academy]].
* Sente is also mentioned as "S"
* The root meaning of Sente is "playing first" (having the initiative). A player has sente if it is their turn and they do not have to answer their opponent's last move. Thus, a player who has sente can decide where to play next. Accordingly derives from the game "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_%28board_game%29 Go]".
* Opinion of the [[Perplexcitysentinel.com|Perplex City Sentinel]] is that Sente should be removed as the master of the [[Perplex City Academy]] (article available [http://www.perplexcitysentinel.com/archives/2005/03/sente_kiteway_s.html here])

Da5id: /* Theories */

==Theories==

* All the recent newspaper ads seem to be sections of a larger text. Check [[Newspaper Text]].

* It has been mentioned a few times that the french used is not correct and awkward-sounding for french-speaking people.

Perplex City Video

Da5id: /* Content */

==Theories==

* The audio overdub maybe results of the social study by [[Sarah Covington]] mentioned in [http://wiki.incognitus.net/mirror/ppc/www.perplexcity.com/10.10.04/tmp/httpd/errorlog/5957496696.cache Errorlog 5957496696.cache]. The title "Subject: Civilisation and Late Stage Urbanisation, A Phase 2 Consumer Transition" sounds like it would fit this overdub.

* The video was shot in Shinjuku, a Tokyo entertainment district. The pictures in the images section are proof of that theory: (the right parts are from the video), [[:image:compare.png|Comparison 1]] and [[:image:shinjuku-video.jpg|Comparison 2]]
