Bill and Kryptos

When it comes to both of them, especially in the AU, they have a history that goes all the way back to flatland. Kryptos being older than him by just a few years as well-

Kryptos, in the most TLDR was I can put it, is someone who Bill escaped to as an escape, a way to get away from his parents since they were less than empathetic in the grand scheme of things.

Now, Bill wouldn’t admit then, or now that he relies on Kryptos for more things than one, but his pride gets the best of him. Kryptos was a professor then, thanks to his technical 4 sided build, even if being by definition an irregular. He was a teacher in private to Bill, teaching him things usually his class of shape would never get to learn (Being an equilateral and merchant by proxy.) Allowing him to learn things even considered taboo by nature, that of the third dimension. Contained within books that once belonging to the circles, Kryptos allowed Bill to access those ideas, which Bill proceeded to hyperfixate if not obsess over horribly.

Bill became enamored and filled with the desire to leave, escape. To the point where Kryptos began to worry, he understood Bill at this point, his wants his desires to leave flatland and tell it to fuck off, but what he’s learnt is that the methods they found were only reckless, time and space destroying even by the equations he’s found.

But as he told this to Bill, he simply waved it off, but not without Kryptos noticing his more antsy nature as… they built a portal very similar to a certain one most would know. And like Fiddleford to Ford, couldn’t help but want to stop the project in risk of their more risk taking friend…

But it’s not like Kryptos could stopped what happened after. He leaves for only some time only for their actions to be reported and as he rushed back to the lab where they were making it- It was too late as Bill had pushed the button by then and was sucked right in.

Sucking in what unstable energy it held, his genetically unstable and malleable body deforming and taking it in like a sponge and breaking his mind in the process.

Kryptos watched in horror, as his friend was changed, and a rift began to form and destroy their world where their portal once stood.

I am not sure if anyone here has already made this connection or pointed this out (apologies if so), but while doing some research into Flatland/the 11 dimensions the other day, I discovered something pretty interesting…

…

In the ‘Book of Bill’ announcement video, as well as distorted, synthesised background music and the Morse Code (which has already been deciphered), we can also hear several lines of spoken dialogue, the first of which being the line: “some other mystic dimension”.

Timestamp: 0:04

youtube

Now, this line already raises several questions - which ‘dimension’ is being referring to here? And why is it considered to be ‘mystic(al)’? Well, we don’t have a definite answer to either of those questions just yet, but if you will humour me for a moment, I have a few suggestions. Either this ‘other mystic dimension’ could be referring to Bill’s own homeland, the Second Dimension (which would naturally be considered ‘other’, ‘mystic’ and generally unfamiliar to us, the readers), or perhaps, it is referring to the Third Dimension itself, or what is known as Spaceland (Height/Up) in Abbott’s novella. I think the latter to be far more likely, especially with what I am about to show you. This is where my excessive YouTube deep-diving habits came in useful.

…

During my research quest, I stumbled upon this video of the famous astronomer and science communicator Carl Sagan (take note of this name) explaining the concept of the Fourth Dimension, as well as other Flatland-adjacent things. And lo and behold, at 4:37, what do we hear?

youtube

“And the poor Square has to say: ‘Well, I was in some other mystic dimension called Up…”

Yes, that’s right. The exact words that were used in the promo video.

To provide you some context, here Sagan is recounting the experience of A Square who, with the guidance and revelations of A Sphere, has just returned from a recent foray into the Third Dimension, and is trying to explain his sudden disappearance and newfound knowledge of Height to his friends. So saying, it is likely that the ‘other mystic dimension’ being referred to in the BoB video is in fact, the Third Dimension, since this is a book that has been written from Bill’s perspective, and it seems that he will be filling in the role of A Square in this narrative, discovering the Secrets Of The Universe and all. Although, I must emphasise that this is still just speculation on my part, based on the assumption that Bill’s backstory will be pretty similar to, if not a direct retelling of Flatland:

“Flat minds in a flat world with flat dreams.”

Who knows, Alex Hirsch may just subvert our expectations entirely.

“I liberated my dimension (…)” / “Saw his own dimension burn. Misses home and can’t return.”

…

Anyway, I have another little piece of the puzzle to share. The line spoken in the announcement video isn’t merely a word-for-word recreation of what Carl Sagan said, It is Carl Sagan. They used a direct clip from an episode of Cosmos. This has me giddy with excitement, because Carl Sagan, a man with much notoriety within the scientific community, and many achievements and accolades to his name, is known to be one of Ford’s scientific idols.

The level of detail in this show, and I guess now in its extended literary canon’s advertisement material, is insane. Do with this information what you will. Perhaps there’s a connection here that will be expounded upon in the book. Perhaps it’s just a cool reference. Even so, it is a very intriguing one nonetheless, especially with the tie-ins to Flatland, theoretical physics and Ford’s hero-worshipping. It’s clearly intentional.

…

(If anyone is interested, here is an excellent meta which provides a very detailed exploration and analysis of Ford’s respective connections to Sagan and Tesla.)
