The missed return
bit.ly/aabbbcccc reaches signed knowledge.txt: “The last step is coming. Visit this place again!” The files remain available, but a later signed post says the opportunity itself had expired.
FORENSIC RESEARCH ARCHIVE
Rendezvous 2037
The two endings, the signed future appointment, all eleven rune labels, and the reproducible kolam transcription.
SIGNED PATH 2 · FUTURE ENDPOINT
The second path points to 7 December 2037
The author-signed November 2017 route replaces a missed, time-limited first ending. Its authenticated image prints 2143762625, Monday. Interpreted as a Unix timestamp, the value is Monday, 7 December 2037, 01:37:05 UTC. The agreement with the printed weekday is an internal checksum, not a thematic guess.

PATH 2 · NOVEMBER 2017
The rendezvous
A signed message opens bit.ly/rendezvous137. The linked PNG has a GOOD detached signature and gives the 2037 appointment.
The eleven labels
The labels reuse the established Old Turkic/Orkhon-styled substitution and read as Turkish cardinal numbers. Clockwise from the upper-right panel they are:
| Panel | Label | Panel | Label |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | BİR | 7 | YEDİ |
| 2 | İKİ | 8 | SEKİZ |
| 3 | ÜÇ | 9 | DOKUZ |
| 4 | DÖRT | 10 | ON |
| 5 | BEŞ | 11 | ON BİR |
| 6 | ALTI |
How the kolams become bits
The 2007 formal model assigns 1 to a crossing and 0 to an uncrossing. Each Tengri diamond contains 145 dots but exactly 256 unique horizontal or vertical inter-dot sites. A coordinate transform maps those sites bijectively onto a 16-by-16 matrix: 32 bytes per panel and 352 bytes in total. The same source method also gives one hexadecimal constituent per dot, using weights top/left/right/bottom = 8/2/4/1.
The decoder validates the source hash, recovers all 145 dot centres in every crop, and samples all 256 sites. The complete machine-readable transcription records every binary row, 32-byte panel, 145-digit constituent string, fit residual, and threshold margin.
The shift instruction
shift as much as the prime, make the last ones to the first ones
Because 137 mod 11 = 5, moving the last five labelled panels to the front gives 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Each 16-by-16 crossing matrix is grouped into 64 hexadecimal units using north-west, north-east, south-west, south-east weights 8/4/2/1. Concatenate the panels in that order, move the first hexadecimal digit to the end, decode adjacent pairs as ASCII, and rotate the resulting text ring to its sentence boundary.
Payload. The operation yields a completely printable 352-character English warning.
Raster agreement. Local 9-by-9 shape classification reproduces 2,816/2,816 bits and 704/704 hexadecimal digits directly from the signed PNG.
The decoded message
Content note. This is the puzzle author’s apocalyptic fiction, reproduced as evidence; it is not a verified prediction or threat assessment.
A CHARLATAN WILL SEDUCE THE MASSES. THIS WILL BE THE END OF YOUR CIVILIZATION. TENGRI137ALL THE NIGHTS WILL TURN INTO DAYS WHEN GREAT LAST FIRE BURNS THE SKY. SOON WILL LAUNCH THE ARROW OF DESTRUCTION, FIRE AND DEATH FROM THE HELL. THE LION OF JUSTICE IS DEAD, THE WISDOM IS RAPED AND MURDERED, THE RESONABILITY SILENCED BY THE FEW WHO RULE THE WORLD.
The missing separator in TENGRI137ALL, the spelling RESONABILITY, and the grammar of SOON WILL LAUNCH are retained exactly.
The raw beginning, directly from the raster
44 2e 20 41 20 43 48 41 52 4c 41 54 41 4e 20 57 D . A C H A R L A T A N W
The first D. closes the circular final word WORLD.. Rotating the ring by three bytes places the directly observed 41 (A) first. The image extraction yields 352/352 printable bytes without case correction or language-based substitution.
Why not use kolam.codes as the key?
kolam.codes is a useful modern artwork and comparison tool, but it postdates the 2017 image. Its encoding cannot be the historical mechanism used to construct this artifact. The reproducible transcription instead uses the earlier published crossing/uncrossing model and the geometry visible in the signed pixels.
Provenance correction: the Kolam artifact is recovered
bit.ly/rendezvous137 resolves to the original Dropbox folder. The signed PNG is therefore a recovered and decoded artifact, not an unresolved drop. The remaining unknown is what the decoded 2037 appointment expects a reader to do.
2022–2026 · LATER ACCOUNT CONTINUITY
The date persisted; instructions did not
Later public records associated with @666ab731 continue the 2037 motif: a 2022 reply says “Enjoy the time till 2037!”, and a 2026 post says “Alive and waiting 2037...”. A recovered DeSo profile for the same handle also says “alive and waiting 2037” and directs readers to the Twitter account. These records show account continuity, not a cryptographic clarification of the 2017 image.
None identifies a rendezvous location, platform, event, or action. The 2026 post's aliens.gov URL is preserved verbatim but is not evidence that the 2037 appointment occurs there. Open the 2022 post · open the 2026 post · read the provenance audit · machine-readable record
