I'm not sure. It's not clear to me how that was figured out.

does anyone have a list of the year of birth and death of each of the people that OpAphid has quoted? maybe put them in chronological order? also the reverse audio quotes from the videos.... just a thought.

edit: was this posted somewhere...A for Apohenia? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apophenia

We also need to:

Find instruction within the message. Only then will you be prepared.

Apophenia would lead us to an answer within the message, however we still don't understand how we came to beleive A stands for Apophenia. Nothing led us there.

The video description also says:

again, another thought based on wiki links starting with apophenia

A- apophenia
P - pareidolia
H - hindsight
I - interpretation
D - digits?

and an invocation is like a prayer, incantation, magic spell... calling upon spirits...

Wow. That's a crappy acronym. :lol:

I think this path with Apophenia has little merit.

Where does that all come from? Is it from an earlier puzzle? How are you figuring out the missing words?

A few people posted messages from OpAphid saying the A in APHID was part of a process or method toward finding a solution. Like, a step you take.

We know each letter stands for something, but I don't think Nora has been following this extensively enough to really be chiming in with anything other than speculation.

The Apophenia thing was meant as a joke, meaning that we could basically get the letters A P H I & D out of anything. Apophenia is seeing a connection in everything. Just like you did with the article and the letters. It's supposed to be ironic....and judging by all the people who are taking it seroius it is. :wink:

crappy acronym... sorry

ok well i got the apophenia from someone that seemed knowledgable, and the links in the wiki articles all seemed to make a little sense. i don't want to steer anyone off, just thoughts.

Perhaps the A word is a password and the instructions we are supposed to find will tell us where to type it?
