My weekly recap of the LOST episodes
New Additions: March 31st to April 5th 2006 underlined typeface
This episode recap is beginning to look like a book…
Episode "Lockdown"
Air Date: Wednesday, 29 March, 20006
Flashback: Locke learns of his father’s death in the paper. Except, Anthony Cooper is not really dead. It’s a scam to hide from Jimmy Pane (Pain?) whom he stole $700,000 from in a long con. He offers Locke 200K if he will go to the bank and withdraw it from a safe deposit box (#1516). Locke is still influenced by a need for his father's love, so he collects the cash from the bank. Locke lies to Helen about his involvement. John brings the money to his father at a local motel but refuses his take. Helen, who has followed John, appears and is crushed by his lie. She drives away broken-hearted.
Flash-forward:On the island, Locke and Henry are trapped when the hatch blast doors close for no reason. While trying to escape, Locke's legs are caught beneath the doors and he is forced to trust Henry to enter the numbers and rescue him. Locke sees a strange map on the wall in the dark. Jack and Kate discover an airdropped pallet of food while Ana Lucia, Sayid & Charlie find Henry’s balloon. But when they dig up the grave they find that Henry Gale has been lying…
Observations:
*** This first one is a recap of last week's episode -
“Henry Gale” is seen eating from a box of Dharma cereal. The box reads “Dharma Initiative Breakfast O's DI 9FFTR731”.
Recap of "Lockdown"
Note: Lockdown is a double entendre: The hatch is literally locked down and Locke is pinned down under the door by his legs.
*** Locke's father, Anthony Cooper, has died (and Diane guessed it was a scam immediately). Is this the last time we'll see him??
The Philosophers of LOST:
“Anthony Ashley Cooper, the third Earl of Shaftesbury, lived from 1671 to 1713. He was one of the most important philosophers of his day, and exerted an enormous influence throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries on British and European discussions of morality, aesthetics and religion.”
This is in keeping with the character naming of philosophers: John Locke and Jean-Jacques Rousseau were philosophers. (Rousseau the French woman). Charles Pace, Charlie’s name in the program, was a close friend of Aleisiter Crowley.
John Locke (b. 1632, d. 1704) was a British philosopher, Oxford academic and medical researcher, whose association with Anthony Ashley Cooper (later the First Earl of Shaftesbury) led him to become successively a government official charged with collecting information about trade and colonies, economic writer, opposition political activist, and finally a revolutionary whose cause ultimately triumphed in the Glorious Revolution of 1688.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau (June 28, 1712 – July 2, 1778) was a Franco-Swiss philosopher of the Enlightenment whose political ideas influenced the French Revolution, the development of socialist theory, and the growth of nationalism. His legacy as a radical and revolutionary is perhaps best demonstrated by his most famous line The Social Contract: "Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains."
Thomas Carlyle (Boone): Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) Scottish-born British historian and essayist who was leading figure in the Victorian era. Carlyle's collected works (1974) comprises 30 volumes. In the age which put faith in legislation, Carlyle believed in a leader, a hero, whom people must recognize and worship. In his famous work ON HEROES AND HERO WORSHIP (1841) his examples ranged from Mohammed to Shakespeare and Dr. Johnson.
Not really a philosopher but interesting:
Hugo Reyes (Hurley’s name) means: “king of thinkers” or “mastermind” hmmm…
*** Observations on the card game:
The first game shows: 3 clubs, 6 diamonds, 4 clubs, 8 clubs and J hearts. The next game has Jack beating Sawyer with the following hand: K hearts, 5 diamonds, 7 clubs, 2 spades Q spades and Jack has the K clubs and K spades to win and Sawyer has the Q diamonds and Q clubs. In the last game, for all the medicine, Jack wins with a pair of 9's and Sawyer has only a pair of 5's.
I am not sure of the significance of these combinations but am looking into it.
They are playing Texas Hold ‘Em (thanks Diane) and I also think that Sawyer got played by Jack.
*** When Locke visits his father at the Flightline Motel two different Oceanic Flights fly overhead.
I could not find a single instance of a real Flightline Motel in Google searching. Although, many references come up when partnered with LOST. Also, the bag which Anthony Cooper puts the money in has the Oceanic logo on it.
*** The Safety Deposit Box # is 1516 and the key is imprinted “Cole 19”.
*** The Home Inspection Scene: There are a lot of numbers and such in the scene where John Locke is inspecting the home. The sign outside the home reads: "L. A. Team Realtors - IN ESCROW" and John's pick-up truck has the following printed on the door: "Welcome Home - Professional Home Inspections – John Locke Owner – 555-0116”. The mailbox next door reads “94-1007” and Anthony Coopers license plate # is 4TRI019”
Also, The woman whose house Locke inspects in one of his flashback sequences is none other than the Sayid's love interest from his flashback, Nadia.
The Blast Door Map*** Lockdown voice: “…. 30 seconds to lock down. Please proceed to the terminal. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1”
The map, the map, the map…… here are some observations and a photo from the internet. Consult your digital picture (apologies to Christie as I did not have enough photos to forward with Brian – but I will get you one – Brian should have delivered a copy of this photo to you by April 3rd, 2006)
Please note: All the following is from the good Lost fans at cubit.net. I deciphered only a few of the following clues from the map. Most of this work was already done for me. My thoughts or additions, however, appear in bold type and additions in red underline.
Some information concerning the map (with notes):
In reading the map it becomes clear that the author was not a member of the Dharma Initiative but someone very familiar with the operation and the incident. Various notations indicate that the person who drew the map was under the 108-minute time constraint and isolated ("estimated travel time incompatible with 108 do not attempt to survey (or journey)"). Could it have been Kelvin, the original button pusher? Or Desmond, the second button pusher who ran off into the jungle? And if Kelvin was not a member or the D.I, who was he? Was he a prisoner himself?? Plus, the map blast door must come down occasionally for the drawings to be made and whoever drew the map did so from a critical position of the Dharma Initiative.
Is the map important to the other characters?? Will Locke tell Jack?? Will Locke try to get the blast doors down again to show Jack??
From Entertainment Weekly Issue # 871 April 7th, 2006: Cartography queries: Burning questions: Who was this mapmaker? Where is he now? What’s up with the math equations and the French (and Latin) phrases? How can we be sure the Map isn’t some kind of Dharma mind game? How much of the map can Locke remember – and what will he do for a change to see it again?
Map Notes:
1. The Arrow Hatch (near 12 o’clock on the clock face)
a. “Credo nos in fluctu eodem esse” Latin for “Committed we advance towards madness” (my definition) or “I think we may be on the same wavelength” as defined by other Lost bloggers. Perhaps the Psychiatric Hatch???? My thoughts are such that if they have a Medical Hatch and a monitoring hatch (Swan) then they must has a Psych hatch (based on the Latin phrase written on the map) and a power hatch (which I think may be the “Flame”). Also, could “on the same wavelength” mean that there was communication with the outside world from someone on the island??
b. “Suspected shutdown date 10.28.84”
Michael Crichton (1942) and Bill Gates (1955) were born on October 28th. And 1984 was the year Microsoft was founded.
2. The Unnamed Hatch (1 o’clock)
a. “mountainous terrain most likely used by DIHG for meteorological research due to….” Some DIHG’s found: Dartmouth International Health Group, Da Incredible Generated Handles, Discovering Ideas Handbook Glossary,
b. “Possible manufacturing facility with light industrial equipment”
c. “Credo nos in fluctu eodem esse” “I think we’re on the same wavelength”
d. “Why so many Dharmatel relays in such an untenable location.”
Dharmatel Telecom Services; Providing direct phonecalls and callback services at
http://www.dharmatel.com/ (I believe that this may be a spoof sight based on the Lost show).
Dharmatel Telecom Services, Donaustraat 173, Lelystad, 8226 LD, Netherlands
A. CV IV (3 o’clock)
a. “Geological composition likely to cause magnetic interference with weather project.”
b. “Interference might also prevent location from use as lightening or listening station, cryptography research, or analysis.”
Cryptography is a field for scientists, engineers, mathematicians and others who enjoy solving complex challenges. Cryptography plays an essential role in securing commercial and government applications including communications, payment systems, access and identification solutions, and more.
c. “Hic sunt dracones” Latin for “Here be dragons”
English mapmakers formerly placed the phrase "here be dragons" at the edges of their known world on maps. Could this be a reference to the Smoke Monster???
d. “High potential for K.V.” (See also The CA below)
e. “A mouse does not rely on just one hole.” A quote by Roman playright Titus Maccius Titus Plautus. Titus Maccius Plautus (254 BC - 184 BC, born at Sarsina, Roman Umbria, today in Romagna, near Forlì) was a comic playwright in the time of the Roman Republic. The years of his life are uncertain, but his plays were first produced between about 205 BC and 184 BC. He wrote approximately one hundred and thirty plays, of which twenty-one survive. Is this in reference to the multiple hatches???
3. The CA (?) or C4 (?) Pearl Hatch (4 o’clock)
a. The word “baby” is found
b. The word “Saut” is found – French for “jump” or “bounce”
c. “High potential for RVS” (see also CV IV above) RADIAL VELOCITY SPECTROMETER – spectrographing light to understand the mechanisms of formation and evolution of the Milky Way
d. “The Pearl” ? The book by John Steinbeck???
e. “x4, y8, z15 subterranean conduit” Algebraic variables ???
B. CV III (5 o’clock)
a. CVIII = 108 in Roman numerals
b. “Everything is an emergency”
c. “primary nexus of cerebus (Cerberus?) related activity”
Cerberus: In Greek mythology, the three-headed watchdog who guards the entrance to the lower world, Hades. It is a child of the giant Typhon and Echidna, a monstrous creature herself, being half woman and half snake. Originally, the dog was portrayed having fifty or hundred heads but was later pictured with only three heads (and sometimes with the tail of a serpent). Cerberus permitted new spirits to enter the realm of dead, but allowed none of them to leave. Only a few ever managed to sneak past the creature, among which Orpheus, who lulled it to sleep by playing his lyre, and Heracles, who brought it to the land of the living for a while (being the last of his Twelve Labors). This suggests that there may be around the security Smoke Monster.
d. “Rev. – 4.2.02 Possible location of zoological research facility”
Is 4.2.02 another date??? Hans Christian Anderson was born April 2nd (1805)
e. “stated goal??? Accelerated De-territorialization of Ursus Maritimus (Polar Bear) through Gene Therapy and Extreme Climate Change”
Ursus Martitimus – The Maritime Bear; Gene therapy: Gene therapy is a technique for correcting defective genes responsible for disease development. Researchers may use one of several approaches for correcting faulty genes:
* A normal gene may be inserted into a nonspecific location within the genome to replace a nonfunctional gene. This approach is most common. *An abnormal gene could be swapped for a normal gene through homologous recombination. *The abnormal gene could be repaired through selective reverse mutation, which returns the gene to its normal function. * The regulation (the degree to which a gene is turned on or off) of a particular gene could be altered.
Gene therapy may explain how Polar Bears could survive in the jungle!
From “Entertainment Weekly” Magazine # 871 April 7th, Page 11: Weird Science – Sounds Dr. Moreau-ish ….. Still, this notation does undermine the theory that the island polar bear was conjured (by Walt) from a comic book. Nonetheless, was Dharma experimenting with animal adaptability? If so, why?
f. “Activity”
g. “Liberate Te Ex Inferis” Latin for “Save yourself from hell” The hardcore rock band “Zao”???
C. CV II (6 o’clock)
a. “known final resting place of magnus hanso / black rock”
Was Magnus Hanso the captain of the “Black Rock” ship and is he any relation to Alvar Hanso of the Hanso Group?? P.S. For those of you who do not know, the Hanso Group financed the Dharma Initiative owns Widmore Construction, the company believed to have built the Dharma Initiative hatches. Also, the pregnancy test that Sun got from Sawyare was labeled “Widmore Labratories” Is Alvar Hanso buried at the black rock? Magnus Hanso – The Grat Hanso!
From Entertainment Weekly Issue # 871 April 7th, 2006: Who is Magnus? Everyone remembers that the “Black Rock” is the slave ship beached in the jungle. Magnus Hanso may be linked to Alvar Hanso – but how? Hypothesis: “Magnus” might be a veiled reference to The Magus, (John Fowles), a 1964 novel about a man on an island who gets sucked into the mindbending “godgame” of a mysterious recluse.
b. “Activity minimal during lockdown and restocking procedures”
c. “Possible CV II - Inactive since accident”
d. “No connection to islandwide E.E.P. network” “Emergency Environmental Project”, “Einstein Equivalence Principle”, “Evolutionary Ecology Protocol”
4. The Swan Hatch (6 o’clock)
a. “4 8 15 16 23 42”
The numbers have so far appeared all together:
On the hatch, Hurley's winning lottery numbers, On the medicine that Desmond injects into his arm, In the mental ward repeated by Leonard Sims, On the soccer jerseys of the girls Hurley passes at the airport, On the mural at the bottom of hatch, which also features their sum: 108, Jack's luggage tag number was all the numbers, The code that must be entered into a computer terminal in Station Three every 108 minutes - and many more that have yet to be uncovered or mentioned here. The numbers 4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42 appear throughout the series, both in sequence and individually. They were broadcast from the Island's radio transmitter, and it was this message that drew Rousseau's expedition there. Although she later changed the message after the deaths of her team, the numbers had also been heard by other people, eventually making their way to Hurley, who used them to win the lottery. However, after his win, a series of misfortunes began to happen to those around him, leading him to believe the numbers are cursed. His search for answers led him to Australia and, through the crash, to the island itself, where he ultimately discovers the numbers engraved on the hatch. Inside the bunker, the same numbers appear on the occupant's medicine bottles, and make up a code that must be entered into the computer. The sum of these six numbers, 108, has also become significant in connection to the DHARMA Initiative. This number appears on a mural inside the Initiative's Station Three, and the full sequence of numbers must be entered into the computer every 108 minutes. The individual numbers also appear frequently throughout the lives of the survivors, both before and after the crash.
b. “108 00, 8.15.01, 01.06.06 Complete Shutdown in Effect”
Also shown as 4.08.00, 8.15.01, 01.06.03: These may be dates 15 August, 2001 and 1 June 2006 (a date in the future). Napoleon (1769) & Sir Walter Scott (1771) were born on August 15th and Brigham Young (1801) was born on 1 June.
c. “I AM HERE”
d. “Multiple escape conduits blocked after incident” is written under the circled “I AM HERE”
e. “P.R.D. every 6 months” Periodic ration drop??? Public Relations Department, Public Relations Department
f. “fatalities = 5”
g. “Ut sit magna, tamen certe lenta ira deorum est” Latin for “The wrath of the gods may be great, but it certainly is slow” Decimis Iunius Juvenalis (60 - 117) Roman satirical poet. Is this the sickness that Danielle Rousseau talks about???
h. “Stationwide failure of Dharmatel intranet” Failure of the communication system???
i. “Home of H.G. delegation inspection 12.07.81” H.G. = Hanso Group?
D. CV I (7 o’clock)
a. “Recreation Area For D.I.M.G. Teams” (D.I.H.G. or D.I.A.G. depending what map you look at) – DIHG = Dharma Initiative Hanzo Group?? D.I.M.G. = Dharma Initiative Management Group ?? D.I.A.G. = Dharma Initiative Action Group ?? D.I.H.G. = Dharma Initiative Hanso Group??
b. “CV I Highly unlikely”
c. “no safe location for Dharmatel servers/hub/cabeling or infrastructure”
Is Dharmatel the name of the telephone system on the island?? Does it link to the mainland??
d. “low priority zone for exploration possible site for above ground… relevance to Valenzetti related”
Googled "Valenzetti" and discovered a Googlewhack, that oh-so-rare search term that brings up only one result, in this case a log of recently registered domain names, including: enzovalenzetti.com, thevalenzettiequation.com, valenzetti.com,
valenzettiequation.com or Valenzetti unknown, possibly "Vanzetti" which may reference a court case of probability of evidence used in a capital murder trials, or statistical work on international trade. A search two days later did not find the domain page.
5. The Flame Hatch (8 o’clock) I think the Flame Hatch may be the power source area where the island’s electricity is generated.
a. Ö16 Ö64 Ö225 - Show’s the square root of 16, 64, 225 which is (4, 8, 15)
b. “Cigito ergo doleo” Latin for “I think therefore I am depressed” Quite a twist from Cogito ergo sum “I think therefore I am”
c. “Alleged location of # 4 The Flame but unlikely due to cerebrus (Cerberus) ? activity”
d. “ Alleged location of aborted # 7: Each number of Heavy water table” or
“Alleged location of aborted # 7: Large number of underground springs heavywater table” - Heavy water is deuterium oxide, or D2O or 2H2O. Deuterium oxide is used in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy when the solvent of interest is water and the nuclide of interest is hydrogen. This is because the signal from the water solvent would interfere with the signal from the molecule of interest. Deuterium has a different magnetic moment from hydrogen and therefore does not contribute to the NMR signal at the hydrogen resonance frequency.
e. “Activity unsuitable for D.I.A.G. (or D.I.MG. or D.I.H.G.)
f. “Neptune” – Neptune Shell?
Neptune is the outermost planet of the gas giants and in Roman mythology, god of water, who became god of the sea only after his identification with the Greek Poseidon.
g. “Alleged? …. of = 4 the plane”
6. The Staff Hatch (what we refer to as the Medical Hatch) (10 o’clock)
a. “Aegrescit medendo” Latin for “The disease worsens with the treatment. The remedy is worse than the disease.”
b. “Malum consilium quod mutari non potest” Latin for “It’s a bad plan that can’t be changed.” Publilius Syrus - Publilius (less correctly Publius) Syrus, a Latin writer of mimes, flourished in the 1st century BC. He was a native of Syria and was brought as a slave to Italy, but by his wit and talent he won the favour of his master, who freed and educated him. Is the bad plan the “Dharma Initiative”??
c. “Cerebus (Cerberus?) station believed to have been abandoned due to AH MGD incident of 1985 Or possible catastrophic malfunction of cerebus (Cerberus?) system” or “Caduceus station believed to have been abandoned due to AH/MHG incident of 1985” – A caduceus (kerykeion in Greek) is a staff with two snakes wrapped around it. It was an ancient astrological symbol of commerce and is associated with the Greek god Hermes, the messenger for the gods, conductor of the dead and protector of merchants and thieves. It was originally a herald's staff, sometimes with wings, with two white ribbons attached. The ribbons eventually evolved into snakes in the figure-eight shape. The number eight is important to the practicioners of judicial astrology.
d. “Confirmed site of Caduceus medical Station (The Staff)”
e. “Possible catastrophic malfunction of Cerberus system.
Cerberus is the three-headed dog from mythology that guarded the gates of Hades. Is Cerberus the security system (i.e. smoke) on the island??? The watchdog, so to speak??
E. H1 – Just noticed that on “The Staff”drawing the letters H1 can be seen. Hatch # 1 ??
F. H2 – Just noticed – between CV II and CV III can be seen H2. Hatch # 2 ??
G.H3 – Just noticed – between The Swan and CV I can be seen H3. Hatch # 3 ?? There also seems to be a broken line (X’d out) between H3 and The Swan (looks like a tunnel that is no longer usable on the map). All the hatches have tunnels ?? running to the hub but everyone of them has also been X’d out. Were the tunnels collapsed here to keep people from traveling from the hatches to the hub???
From Entertainment Weekly Issue # 871 April 7th, 2006: Secret History – “The Staff” is where Claire was held captive by the others. “Cerberus” – the mystic watchdog of hell – is probably Smokey the Monster. “AH” could be Dharma financier Alvar Hanso. And is Dharma abandoned the hatch ion ’85, does that mean the Others aren’t affiliated with them?
7. The “Abandoned” CV 0 or # 7 Hatch (11 o’clock)
a. This hatch has been scratched off the map and is, I think, the hatch where Anna Lucia and Mr. Eko’s group were living.
b. “following AH/MGD incident” AH = Alvar Hanso ??? Who is MGD??
c. “estimated travel time incompatible with 108. do not attempt to survey” or “do not attempt journey” (both are listed)
d. “sursum corda, sursom corda, sursum corda” Latin for “Lift up your hearts” x’s three - (Roman Catholic Church) a Latin versicle meaning `lift up your hearts’ – Could this be some spoken password???
8. The Hub Hatch (Center Circle) “?”
a. “Designation unknown”
b. “Purpose unknown.”
c. “Relation to D.I.H.G. unknown”
d. “Nil actum reputa si quid superest agendum” Latin for “Don’t consider that anything has been done if anything is left to be done.” Marcus Annaeus Lucanus (November 3, AD 39-April 30, 65), better known in English as Lucan, was a Roman poet, and is one of the outstanding figures of the Silver Latin period.
From Entertainment Weekly Issue # 871 April 7th, 2006: Hatchapalooza! Presumably other (undiscovered) hatches. The dashed icons – like the hub marked “?” – might mean the mapmaker wasn’t sure these places existed. A notation near “C3” suggests underground tunnels. The “CV” rectangles could denote electromagnetic energy or viewing stations.
Additionally, the two equations shown on the map (B vector and H vector) may be the standard engineering/physics equations. The B vector equation is the magnetic field equation, and the H vector equation is gravity. (See below for more.)
The map also contains a number of “paths” that are super-imposed over the network of hatches on the map. These could either be paths above ground in the jungle or below the hatches. It isn’t clear which.
Also, there may be other written additions to the map that have not yet been deciphered. I will keep you informed if any others come to light. (pun intended). Speaking of which, if the map shows up under high intensity black light are there other additional notes hidden under different types of lighting? Ultraviolet (has the sun ever reached the map?) Red light?? Blue Light??? Hmmmm…..
From the Wikipedia website:
Location
In the episode Lockdown of Season 2, when Locke is pinned underneath one of the blast doors, the timer for the countdown reaches a critical state. Just after the counter is reset, all of the lights go out and several ultraviolet lights turn on. The black lights reveal a hidden drawing on the blast door that Locke was trapped under. The drawing or diagram appears to be a map of some kind and is in the shape of an octagon.
Stations and Other Structures
On the map, there 6 structures depicted, and at least 4 of them are labeled by name and icon: The Swan, The Flame, The Staff and The Arrow. The other structures are labeled by question marks or numbers. Two of the stations are drawn with dotted lines. The 6 structures all surround a big circled question mark in the center of the map. At the top left, there is another structure (a 7th structure) which is scribbled out.
Among the hatches on the southeast side of the map, there are 4 rectangular structures/labels that have "CVI","CVII","CVIII", and "CVIV" written on them. Since CVIV does not exist in roman numerals, the labels are most likely CV 1, CV 2, CV 3, and CV 4, as represented in the roman numeral system.
Other Items
There is also a thin line that connects all but one of the structures.
In addition to the stations, the map also depicts the terrain of the island, showing rivers and mountains. There is also a lot of writing around and on the map; with some of it written in cursive handwriting, and other parts completely capitalized. The acronym D.I.H.G appears at least twice. Also clearly visible is the phrase "I AM HERE" (normally "You are here" in public maps) with an arrow pointing to the structure labeled "The Swan", which is also the name of the hatch that the castaways are currently occupying.
The name Cerberus also appears a few times on the map. Cerberus is monstrous three-headed dog from Greek mythology who guarded the gates to Hades (the Greek underworld). The writing refers to Cerberus as a "system".
The location of the final resting place of the "Magnus Hanso/Black Rock" is also shown on the map, the Black Rock is the name of the ship that the castaways found inland which contained dynamite. Hanso was the last name of Alvar Hanso of the Hanso Foundation, as mentioned in the orientation video.
Latin Phrases
There are multiple Latin phrases on the wall. Some include;
"Sursum Corda" - meaning Lift up your hearts; written three times above The Staff hatch.
"Cogito ergo doleo" - meaning I think therefore I suffer; written under The Flame hatch.
"Liberte te ex infernus" - meaning Free you from the fire or also Save yourself from hell; written above CV III.
"Malum consilium quod mutari non potest" - meaning It's a bad plan that can't be changed. - Publilius Syrus
"Aegrescit medendo" - meaning The disease worsens with the treatment. - Latin Saying.
"Credo nos influctu eodem esse" - meaning I think we are on the same wavelength.
"Nil actum reputa si quid superest sgendum" - meaning Do not consider that anything has been done if anything is left to be done. - Marcus Annaeus Lucanus
"Ut sit magna, tamen certe lenta ira deorum est" - meaning The wrath of the gods may be great, but it certainly is slow.
"Hic sunt dracones" - meaning Here be Dragons.
Map Timeline
A timeline of all the events on the map, based on the dates given on the map and the descriptions for them:
12.07.81 - H.G. Delegation Inspection.
10.28.84 - Suspected shut down date.
1985 - Caduceus Station [or possibly Cerberus Sation] believed to have been abandoned due to AH/MDG incident.
4.08.00 - System wide failure of Dharmatel Intranet.
8.15.01 - System wide failure of Dharmatel Intranet.
4.02.02 - "REV - Possible location of Zoological Research Facility".
01.06.03 - System wide failure of Dharmatel Intranet.
Mathematical Formulae interpretation
The square root of 16 is 4, the square root of 64 is 8, and the square root of 225 is 15. In other words, the first three of the "Lost numbers".
d could also be δ (see: formula for magnetic field)
(see: formula for magnetic flux density)
May be Kinetic Energy times Voltage. KeV is also the unit for thousands of Electronvolts.

Additions March 30th to April 5th, 2006
My e-mail to Jack and Jay at the Lost Podcast on April 12th, 2006 concerning Latin on the blast door map:Jay and Jack,
There has been a great deal of discussion concerning Latin on the blast door map and most of it involves the Catholic religion. However, the language of the Vatican is also the language of pure science and should not be discounted as to why it was used in the map. Scientists and doctors still use Latin every day; from the names of animals to the names of internal organs in humans. The blast door is filled with a huge number of connotations concerning science. Including mathematical equations, notations concerning genetic manipulation, extreme climate changes and computers. Perhaps the maps author was a scientist??The Alternative OneKenosha, WisconsinFrom the writers of LOST:Turns out that supercool black-light reveal is a major plot point that carries on through the rest of the season. "Oh yeah, big time," Damon Lindelof said. "I mean, it plays huge in the finale, and even in episodes 21 through 24. Twenty-one is an episode that is very much on the sort of fundamental axis of that map, and it's a Locke and Eko story, which is going to be awesome.
