On the Subject of a Cruel Simulacrum
This is a message--a plea for reason hidden in a module. Read between the lines.
The machine will start showing a colour on its screen.
Observe the light around the screen to extract a sequence of “Clockwise” and “Counterclockwise” rotations.
Also, interpret quickly alternating between both to return to its starting location as “Flip”.
Split the given colour using RGB colour mixing.
On the next page, start in the triangle connected to only the Nodes of the colour components you got.
For singular components, use the cell the furthest away from the center.
You will continuously refer to one of the ABC Nodes as your Pivot. Start by using the Node you’re adjacent to.
Whenever one of multiple Nodes can become your Pivot, the priority order is given by the module’s LEDs (White then Grey then Black).
Apply the moves obtained from the light in order, turning around the Pivot one triangle at a time, or Flipping to the triangle opposite from you relative to the Pivot.
When you land on a triangle adjacent to a Node that is not your Pivot, it becomes your new Pivot if you weren’t adjacent to it before this movement.
After each move, note down the symbol of the triangle you land on (if it has one). Do not note down the symbol in your starting triangle.
To submit an answer, first insert a Token, then press the symbol-bearing buttons, then the SEND button.
Inserting another Token clears your current answer.
You must also insert a Token after every SEND, before inputting anything.
You will get some goo from the machine. Use its colour as a new starting triangle and a new sequence of movements from the light using the same methods.
After 3 stages, the machine won’t have any more water to cool it down and will shut down, solving the module.
