Putting It Out There The northern polar cap of Saturn is a hexagon with rounded edges. It's huge. In fact, each side of the hex is larger than the diameter of the earth. Scientists have attempted to explain the hex by creating small-scale models, but they really don't measure up (pun intended). It is a manufactured structure. When I was at RAND, someone in our group was discussing "hex codes," but when I saw the hex codes, they were not hexadecimal. Rather, they were five-digit integers. The numbers were not hexadecimal, but were intended for "the hex." They were codes to be broadcast to the hex. The clicking sounds in my left ear (the ear that I'm deaf in) are in series of up to ten clicks, with pauses in between. And they come in groupings of five. In other words, they are five digit integers. Numbers Stations exist all over the world. Almost every one of them broadcasts sets of five-digit integers. They are codes. They are intended for the hex. Someone is sending me five-digit integers by means of clicking noises in my ear, perhaps as seed numbers to help decode the hex codes that are being sent to the polar cap of Saturn from numbers stations. And this is the shit in my head. All... the... time.
