Experiments
The Experiments are the principle product of this project, so the website is structured around them.
Experiment One
Use a pre-existing encoding of one specific page from the First Folio (1623) to reveal the message steganographically hidden there.
Completed
Running and Cloning an Experiment
...although you may wish to first explore the Experiments summarized elsewhere on this page, before charging ahead to Run or Clone them...
Experiment Two
Use Computer Vision to read digital facsimiles of historic documents and recognize individual letters of the alphabet, and their cryptographic variants.
Completed
Experiment Three
Attempt to repurpose the 1916 Riverbank Classifiers as the source of our set of 96 Biformed alphabet glyphs for Template Matching.
In Progress
Experiment Four
Create a "cipher-sniffing" mini-application to recognize and visually highlight the rectangular regions of any First Folio page where the (still-encoded) Biformed Alphabet is present.
Upcoming
Experiment Five
We put forward a Programming Challenge to good-with-math code-savvy naysayers!
Upcoming
