Changes

Littered throughout much of the [[Year Zero Research|Year Zero information]] discovered thus far, sequences of numbers have been found. All the numbers so far have been in the format "24.x.y". While several theories have been posited These numbers represent evidence against a person known as to their significance[CLASSIFIED], no definite conclusion on their meaning has been reachedand the entire catalogue of the numbers is found at [[Exhibit 24]].

Pilgrim Stream 24.22 was present on Refers to [[Mining For for Life]] prior to it going live, so it is '''assumed''' that Mining For Life is designated 24.22.1 as following the trend with all sites released live on the 15th of April. Any assistance in locating a corresponding catalogued by [[Exhibit 24.22.y number relating to this page would be appreciated]].

<span id==The Theories=="24.23.1">'''24.23.1'''</span>

===Pilgrim Streams===With the premature discovery of [http://www.freerebelart.net/ Free Rebel Art[Exhibit 24] and [http://www.exterminal.net/ Exterminal], a new theory has surfaced relating to the cryptic numbers. The following text was on freerebelart:

Pilgrim Stream: ==24.2 Data in transit -24==

This brings up the notion that the [[Pilgrims]] separated the content they wished to send back into <span id="streams24.24.1" for categorization, and their machine farm is sending them back in no particular order, or in an order for which the meaning has yet to be revealed>'''24.24.1'''</span>

This is currently the most likely theoryFirst [[Exhibit 24]] list of all known Subversives, all names taken from [http://www.nin-thespiral.com/ The Spiral] members.

<span id===Dates===One initial theory was that the numbers corresponded to dates; for example: "24.1424.2 would translate to the 14th of February, 2024. However, this theory was quickly seen to be flawed; "[[Year Zero]]" itself has been determined to be 2022, and the frequency of the second and third numbers make the date theory unlikely>'''24. Also, efforts to link the numbers to the emerging [[Year Zero Timeline]] have proven fruitless24.2'''</span>

===Second [[Year Zero Bible References|Bible VersesExhibit 24]]===A second theory was developed by some who suspected a Biblical connection; in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_James_Bible King James Bible]list of all known Subversives, the 24th book is the book of all names taken from [http://enwww.wikipediaechoingthesound.org/wiki/Jeremiah JeremiahEchoing The Sound]. Many reading it felt that it offered a fitting undertone to the overall Year Zero storymembers.

For example: 24.14.2 would translate as book 24 (Jeremiah), chapter 14, verse 2. So far, there have been no numbers that do not match up with bible verses; however, many numbers interpreted in this way do not seem to give any special insight. For more information, see [[Year Zero Bible References]].   ===Federal Orderly Conduct Act=== The number 24.13.1, found in the warning for accessing the [http://artisresistance.com/ Art Is Resistance] website, is a section from the Federal Orderly Conduct Act which the user violates by visiting the page without proper authorization. This suggests that each of the found numbers correspond to a section of the Act. Also, 24.12.2 was found through a [[18664456580|phone number]] found on Year Zero packaging, and is said to be a statute in the Disclosure of Surveillance section of the US Surveillance Laws. A login box on [[Free Rebel Art]] allows you to give your own name and phone number. When they are sent a phone call from 866-445-6580 is recieved, and it quotes Federal Stature 24.2.1 which is also the number corresponding to Free Rebel Art. This theory will be impossible to confirm, however, unless a copy of the Act is released. ===Halos===Some theorists suspect that the second section of each number refers to the Halo number of previous NIN releases, with the third part of the number indicating a track. In this theory, the 24 at the beginning of the number serves only to link them all together as part of the world of Year Zero, which is, as stated above, Halo 24.  Some of the tracks referred to in this theoryCategory:* Halo 1. Down In It# Down In It (Skin) * Halo 2. Pretty Hate Machine# Head Like A Hole * Halo 3. Head Like a Hole# Head Like A Hole (Slate)# Head Like A Hole (Clay)# Terrible Lie (Sympathetic Mix) * Halo 5. Broken# Pinion# Wish# Last * Halo 6. Fixed# Gave Up (Remixed By Coil, Danny Hyde) * Halo 7. March Of The Pigs# March Of The Pigs * Halo 8. The Downward Spiral# Mr. Self Destruct * Halo 9.

The Perfect Drug# The Perfect Drug (Remixed by Meat Beat Manifesto)# The Perfect Drug (Remixed by Plug)# The Perfect Drug (Remixed by Nine Inch Nails) * Halo 12. Closure# Piggy * Halo 13. The Day the World Went Away# Day the World Went Away# Starfuckers, Inc. * Halo 14. The Fragile# Somewhat Damaged# The Day The World Went Away# The Frail * Halo 15. We're in This Together, Pt. 1# We're In This Together# 10 Miles High * Halo 16. Things Falling Apart# Slipping Away# The Great Collapse# The Wretched (version)# Starfuckers Inc. (version) * Halo 17. And All That Could Have Been# Terrible Lie * Halo 18. The Hand That Feeds# The Hand That Feeds * Halo 19. With Teeth# All The Love In The World# You Know What You Are? * Halo 20. Only# Only# The Hand That Feeds (DFA Mix)# Love Is Not Enough (Live At Rehearsals)# Only (Video) (??) * Halo 21. Every Day Is Exactly The Same# Every Day Is Exactly The Same * Halo 22. Beside You In Time# Love Is Not Enough Supporters of this theory point to the following excerpt from the chat at the solutionsbackwardsinitiative website as suggesting there is a link between the materials with numbers on them and the music of NIN:  MIGUEL: What's our key text? EVA: don't get me started. . . . JORDAN: We mined a few banned books/songs. WAYNE: Eva didn't like my choice. . . . MIGUEL: Banned books? Oh, THAT was a good idea. . . . EVA: at least i used music from someone who's alive and fucking kicking. MIGUEL: Was alive when he went to prison. Who knows now. ===Catalog of Clues===Some suggest that the numbers are used simply as a way to catalog the clues to the World of Year Zero as they are found, either by the real-world World of Year Zero followers or by the in-game [[Solutions Backwards Initiative]] team. Evidence for this is that many numbers with the same second value are found through similar means; for example, all the numbers beginning with 24.16.y were found as a result of the Survivalism video.
