Theories

  • The code below the Semacode means something. Working: Postcard Code
  • The PCPS maze may have meaning.
  • The PCPS maze is drawn by hand.
  • Postcard Discussion on Unfiction.


Content

  • Painting of Perplex City at night
  • The pattern of lit and unlit windows of the building in the foreground of the painting is binary for "helloworld"
  • Letter from Sente
  • Semacode pointing to Perplex City (NOTE: Semacode is simply a Data Matrix ISO/IEC 16022 standard barcode containing a URL. You can decode semacode with any standard reader)
  • Code of 221545484848465100503215 - Postcard Code
  • A line "MC, Please expedite global release. S"
  • A stamp with a maze and "PCPS" in the centre
