The 23-page challenge
The original visual puzzle: its first 22 pages have reproducible mechanisms; the signed final matrix has a bounded candidate reading.

PUBLIC READING MAP
One puzzle, nine evidence branches
Tengri 137 is not a single linear riddle. This map separates the branches that are mechanically solved from later material that is preserved, tested and still open. Follow the cards in chronological order, or enter any branch directly.
Case map
2017 · AUDIO
The hidden-service route
Signed MP3 → spectrogram → packets → bitmap → a 6,448-letter ciphertext. The original WAV is still lost.
2017 · CIPHERTEXT
The first ending
The bitmap's 4-by-4 matrix decrypts the entire message. Its final Bitly instruction leads to the signed, time-limited knowledge.txt endpoint.
2017 · RENDEZVOUS
The replacement ending
The later signed route points to the 2037 Rendezvous archive: eleven labelled kolams decode to a 352-character English warning. Its intended action and real-world meaning remain open.
2017 · FLOOD
The document campaign
FLOOD pages, the atomic-number sequence, posts and linked documents establish continuing activity, but no proven continuation key.
2018 · MEDIA
Video, score, and signed poem
The preserved video, its PGP-signed companion text, comment lead, score baseline and time-stack controls have been tested. No transferable decoding operation is established.
2019 · VUMARII
Later visual branches
Vumarii, Baatar Kerei and other later materials are documented as activity and evidence, without pretending that thematic resemblance solves the original book.
2025 · NUMBERS
The 2222–8888 clue
The four numbers map reproducibly to an author-published factorization magic square. Its construction is solved; a further textual payload is not demonstrated.
ALL YEARS · CONTROL
What remains open
Evidence tiers, rejected claims, source records and the finite set of problems that still need new primary material or a reproducible operation.
How the public edition differs from the research corpus
The public edition is a reviewed, privacy-conscious dossier: it includes the evidence needed to assess the published conclusions and links its source audits. The complete local text reader is intentionally not deployed with the site; raw records are retained in the manifest and are released only after a separate review.
For the editorial synthesis, begin with the complete story; for dates and dependencies, use the chronology; for the status of every important claim, use the evidence ledger and sources.
