# Family, Friends & Moments Most of the Hall of Mirrors is trying to explain the universe. This corner is trying to remember a dog. These are the artifacts where the mythology comes back down to earth: a grandmother's cow, a father's handmade clock, a birthday clip of a much younger man mugging in a studio, a fish named Oscar drawn with a little heart above it. Diagrams map the cosmos. These map a life. ## What this section collects This page gathers the biographical bedrock: grandparents, parents, childhood objects, pets, friends, and live-show moments, scanned or photographed or sketched and then folded into the maze alongside the Tree of Life and the sigils. The move is quietly radical. A project this dense with cosmology could have stayed in the clouds forever. Instead it keeps stopping to scan a wooden pull-toy, or a class-of-1941 graduation charm, or a birthday cake's worth of candles. The mythology only earns its weight because it keeps touching a real family, a real house, a real childhood, a real grief. Reading these is simple, and that is the point. Ask *who, when, what era* before you ask *what does it mean*. The meaning is usually just love, remembered in an unusual medium. ## A note on the codes Some of these rooms unlock with a phrase (`OSCAR`, `REBIRTH`, `HEIMDALL`). Others unlock with a letter-and-number key (`A749`, `R1063`, `G228`, `B1030`). Those are not unsolved riddles. They are **cell coordinates**: a column-plus-row address on Roy's *"I'm 33"* spreadsheet board, the same board so much of the cosmology is drawn on. So even the plainest family keepsake is quietly pinned back to the map. See [[Hall of Mirrors/The I'm 33 Board]]. --- ## The artifacts ### #8 · GRANDMA VI'S COW · `167` <video src="https://storage.googleapis.com/jagwar-twin-33.appspot.com/artifacts/0x20d2ac2a28641786ba03eff53facea687b35e08e680a1b71922c6fc1ed1f2735..mp4" poster="https://storage.googleapis.com/jagwar-twin-33.appspot.com/artifacts/0x20d2ac2a28641786ba03eff53facea687b35e08e680a1b71922c6fc1ed1f2735..jpg" width="320" controls preload="none"></video> A three-second silent turntable: a life-size Holstein cow, standing on a little disc of captured dirt, rotating against a black void. It is a 3D scan of either a real cow or a very convincing statue, turned into a keepsake. The title names it as Grandma VI's, the maze's recurring family matriarch (her name threads through several rooms, including a hospital-bedside photo and "Grandma's Song"). The code `167` is just a number, quite possibly a private family one, and it stays that way. Around it, the meaning is plain: this is a beloved's world scanned into the archive so it does not disappear, the maze in its memorial mode. **Connects to →** [[Hall of Mirrors]] · [[Roy]] ### #22 · COACHELLA SEA · `WHO IS INHABITING YOU` <video src="https://storage.googleapis.com/jagwar-twin-33.appspot.com/artifacts/0x80dd7bd1be0ede815f5b30f19158e53c3109cc31a005bf3ddd2b8495229a63c8..mp4" poster="https://storage.googleapis.com/jagwar-twin-33.appspot.com/artifacts/0x80dd7bd1be0ede815f5b30f19158e53c3109cc31a005bf3ddd2b8495229a63c8..jpg" width="320" controls preload="none"></video> Nineteen seconds of GoPro-style POV shot from *onstage* inside a huge arched festival tent (visually consistent with Coachella's Sahara Tent): a performer in white throws an arm up at the decks, and past the monitor wedges and the blinding rig the crowd stretches back like a sea, before the camera swings down the stage stairs into red-lit backstage scaffolding. This is footage from Roy's pre-Jagwar dance-pop years, and the code, lifted from a @JagwarTwin tweet, turns the memory into a question: *who is inhabiting you.* The room pairs real evidence of an old performing life with the unsettling ask of which self was actually running it, the possession theme the project later gives a name and a face. **Connects to →** [[Lucius Lullaby]] · [[Happy Face]] · [[Roy]] · [[Sir Lucius]] · [[Concepts/The Circus]] ### #28 · LITTLE LUNA EXPLAINING NFTS · `EXPLAINING NFTS` <video src="https://storage.googleapis.com/jagwar-twin-33.appspot.com/artifacts/0xdaa5986dfa957f4d504265bd2a0f4e768070f1d25aa7b26fd6b7b8be848d7eca..mp4" poster="https://storage.googleapis.com/jagwar-twin-33.appspot.com/artifacts/0xdaa5986dfa957f4d504265bd2a0f4e768070f1d25aa7b26fd6b7b8be848d7eca..jpg" width="320" controls preload="none"></video> A screen recording of a voice-memo thread. A mother's voice tells her daughter that she and "Daddy" are "overwhelmed with your capacity of intelligence that you understand what you just said and we don't," jokes "Web 3, Web 2, I thought we were on Web 1," and signs off "we love you very much." The daughter is little luna, Roy's friend and 33-era collaborator, and this is her parents' proud, baffled reply after she explained web3 to them. Roy then minted the reply, making it the gallery's most gloriously recursive object: an NFT about explaining NFTs. It belongs to the Hall's family-voice-memo strain, where private audio of loved ones becomes canon. The emotional core is the generation gap met with pride instead of dismissal, new-world language received with old-world love. **Connects to →** [[Pay Attention (feat. little luna)]] · [[Great Time to Be Human]] · [[Hall of Mirrors]] · [[Roy]] ### #38 · GRANDFATHER MASKS · `R1063` <video src="https://storage.googleapis.com/jagwar-twin-33.appspot.com/artifacts/0xd8bc7f7c84851625540f995dec57673053990ebc64d6de78a8e1f5077125fc23..mp4" poster="https://storage.googleapis.com/jagwar-twin-33.appspot.com/artifacts/0xd8bc7f7c84851625540f995dec57673053990ebc64d6de78a8e1f5077125fc23..jpg" width="320" controls preload="none"></video> A three-second close-up of a small gold diamond-shaped charm on a chain, embossed with a domed schoolhouse, a torch and laurels, and a banner reading "1941": a classic class-of-1941 graduation keepsake, draped over weathered blue-grey wood and revealed through a torn-paper video matte (a literal editing "mask," probably the title's pun). As the charm sways, the reverse shows the stamping mirrored, so "1941" reads flipped, a small rhyme with Roy's warning that things tend to flip inside the Hall of Mirrors. It belongs to the family-heirloom cluster (Dad's Clock, Dad's Wooden Horse, the grandfather's plane and portrait), and the 1941 date lines it up with "WILLIAM RUDOLPH 1941," plausibly the same grandfather. The code `R1063` is a cell coordinate on the "I'm 33" board, not a clue. What it grounds is the inherited-self limb of Roy's cosmology, everyone before you as a layer of the mountain, the grandfather's token literally worn forward on a chain. **Connects to →** [[Hall of Mirrors]] · [[Roy]] · [[Concepts/Inherited Substrate]] · [[The Mask]] · [[The Mirror]] ### #47 · DAD'S CLOCK 4 BB ROY · `ROY'S TOMB` <video src="https://storage.googleapis.com/jagwar-twin-33.appspot.com/artifacts/0x6a84e9bf1fd657ad8872f89c876e17efd0627e3b048523896e40627725f99f97..mp4" poster="https://storage.googleapis.com/jagwar-twin-33.appspot.com/artifacts/0x6a84e9bf1fd657ad8872f89c876e17efd0627e3b048523896e40627725f99f97..jpg" width="320" controls preload="none"></video> A looping 3D scan of a handmade white wooden birdhouse converted into a clock: blue hand-painted numerals, real clock hands set above the dark round bird-entry hole, a shingle roof, mounted on weathered barnwood and turning against black. Roy's father made it for baby ("BB") Roy, so it sits in the family-keepsake cluster, childhood objects scanned into the maze, where digitizing a relic is itself a kind of entombment. The code `ROY'S TOMB` reframes the little house through its black doorway as a burial chamber, and with a clock for a face it fuses home, time, and death into one memento mori: the tomb of the childhood Roy the keepsake remembers, exactly the buried child of the released songs ("I killed that ballerina boy / I buried him inside"). The tomb reading is interpretation; the object, the dedication, and the black doorway are all right there. **Connects to →** [[Ballerina Boy]] · [[Hall of Mirrors]] · [[Concepts/The Upload]] · [[Roy]] ### #49 · CHUCKSTER'S MUMMY 2 (228) · `G228` <video src="https://storage.googleapis.com/jagwar-twin-33.appspot.com/artifacts/0xa356e31c94415a9637fc8761460f968a6c92ca9ceeb4d6e9a7e80f23f380da72..mp4" poster="https://storage.googleapis.com/jagwar-twin-33.appspot.com/artifacts/0xa356e31c94415a9637fc8761460f968a6c92ca9ceeb4d6e9a7e80f23f380da72..jpg" width="320" controls preload="none"></video> A rotating scan of a comb-bound notebook open on weathered deck planks: page two of a story in a child's hand, "They said it was a mummy from ancient egyptain [sic] times. One man offered to pay 1 million dollars for it. Chuckster sold it and was a millionaire!", complete with a colored-pencil grinning man clutching green bills. It reads as a page from young Roy's storybooks, and the fable is a kid's P.T. Barnum bit: an object becomes a fortune purely because "they said" it was ancient, value conjured out of story and belief. That is the adult project's whole thesis in miniature, and it lands with perfect irony inside an NFT gallery, where scanned childhood ephemera is itself the priced relic. The code `G228` is a cell coordinate on the "I'm 33" board (the "(228)" in the title carries the same number), tying the childhood relic straight back to the cosmology board. **Connects to →** [[Pay Attention (feat. little luna)]] · [[Imagine A World]] · [[Hall of Mirrors]] · [[Concepts/The Circus]] · [[Concepts/The Circus#What it produces (the Spectacle)|the Spectacle]] · [[Hall of Mirrors/The I'm 33 Board]] ### #62 · 21 CANDLES · `SNOW WHITE` <video src="https://storage.googleapis.com/jagwar-twin-33.appspot.com/artifacts/0xc9e74f6c604bfaf5ab8b29ba37f7252bb33ed95de093a8aeb30a98031a6f1004..mp4" poster="https://storage.googleapis.com/jagwar-twin-33.appspot.com/artifacts/0xc9e74f6c604bfaf5ab8b29ba37f7252bb33ed95de093a8aeb30a98031a6f1004..jpg" width="320" controls preload="none"></video> Ten seconds of vertical selfie video: a young, short-haired Roy in a recording studio (monitors, acoustic-panel ceiling), wearing a sleeveless tee printed with the iconic Johnny Cash middle-finger photo, dancing and singing at the camera over loud playback. The title puts it in the gallery's birthday thread (the board crowns "Happy Birthday" the greatest song ever written and asks "When was I Born?"), so "21 CANDLES" reads as a birthday marker of a much younger, pre-Jagwar-Twin man. The code `SNOW WHITE` names the fairy tale of the magic mirror, "mirror, mirror on the wall," which is the Hall of Mirrors' own device: the glass you ask to show you who you are, here opening onto a birthday ghost of an earlier self. Snow White stays live in Roy's world on both ends, from the mirror archetype in "Lucius Lullaby" to his own later "When's the last time you watched Snow White tho?" post. **Connects to →** [[Lucius Lullaby]] · [[Hall of Mirrors]] · [[Roy]] · [[Concepts/The Empty Mirror]] ### #66 · RIP OSCAR · `OSCAR` <a href="https://storage.googleapis.com/jagwar-twin-33.appspot.com/artifacts/0x5f268f53364022010c1d21835a0618a848b9a8b92b4447829aa68c84596ccacd..png"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/jagwar-twin-33.appspot.com/artifacts/0x5f268f53364022010c1d21835a0618a848b9a8b92b4447829aa68c84596ccacd..png" width="300"></a> A loose pencil sketch of a fish, dark round eye, gill strokes, an oversized tail fin, with "OSCAR" written above it and a small heart-shaped arrow pointing down. "RIP OSCAR" plus the heart marks it as a memorial doodle for a pet fish named Oscar (also, fittingly, the name of a common pet cichlid), and the code is simply the pet's name. The artifact lives in the catalog's "BURIED" collection, which literalizes the burial. When it surfaced, fans mourned Oscar as a real loss, and that is the register that fits: this is the diary layer of the maze, where small biographical griefs get enshrined right next to the esoterica. That Oscar was Roy's own fish is the community's read, consistent with the archive rather than stated in it. **Connects to →** [[Hall of Mirrors]] · [[Roy]] ### #68 · LIST OF ROY'S FAVORITE THING'S · `WHAT DOES A MANAGER DO?` <video src="https://storage.googleapis.com/jagwar-twin-33.appspot.com/artifacts/0xced22a0adbc7ee1dda206ee4c64779011903f9f4ae80bb03e80885100bfc8afe..mp4" poster="https://storage.googleapis.com/jagwar-twin-33.appspot.com/artifacts/0xced22a0adbc7ee1dda206ee4c64779011903f9f4ae80bb03e80885100bfc8afe..jpg" width="320" controls preload="none"></video> Fifteen seconds of a blond toddler, maybe two years old, parked in a big mesh office chair at a white desk in an unmistakable music-industry office: framed Manchester Orchestra and MGMT posters on the wall, a "STATS" notebook on the desk, AirPods in, one hand planted on a Magic Mouse, grinning at someone off-camera. The code `WHAT DOES A MANAGER DO?` is the punchline: the toddler in the manager's chair *is* the answer. The title files the clip under Roy's literal list of favorite things, and the room's loop-word, TIME, fits a home video of a small child, the fastest clock in the house. This is one of the maze's warm rooms: amid the ciphers and the cosmology diagrams, the archive stops to canonize an inside joke about the human team behind the project, the affectionate circle inside the industry circus. **Connects to →** [[Hall of Mirrors]] · [[Roy]] · [[The Circle]] ### #71 · DAD'S WOODEN HORSE · `A749` <video src="https://storage.googleapis.com/jagwar-twin-33.appspot.com/artifacts/0x3f5a760c9c88e76593b80829f758ee0c2e5732870b2c8314809cd6b651f04b58..mp4" poster="https://storage.googleapis.com/jagwar-twin-33.appspot.com/artifacts/0x3f5a760c9c88e76593b80829f758ee0c2e5732870b2c8314809cd6b651f04b58..jpg" width="320" controls preload="none"></video> A three-second turntable scan of an antique folk-art pull-toy: a rearing white dapple-painted horse with a small carved rider (green jacket, yellow saddle), mounted on a green wheeled platform with pink disc wheels and a pull-cord, rotating on barnwood against black. It belongs to the father-and-grandfather heirloom archive, grounded by Roy's own statement at the launch that the artifacts include "3D scans of childhood items or my grandfather's World War II plane." Filed in the TIME realm with the other memory-objects, it reads as inherited time: a father's childhood digitized into the son's mirror-maze. The code `A749` is a cell coordinate on the "I'm 33" board, not a phrase to crack. And yes, it is a literal wooden horse, but the project's Trojan-Horse doctrine lives on a different artifact entirely, so any echo here is a rhyme, not the emblem. **Connects to →** [[Hall of Mirrors]] · [[Roy]] ### #83 · FATHER_MIRROR · `FATHER_MIRROR` <a href="https://storage.googleapis.com/jagwar-twin-33.appspot.com/artifacts/0x83b98444a05d9617fdbb49ba86fe6c0bf48a3f2f7b3e843629f51464ac4f053c..jpg"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/jagwar-twin-33.appspot.com/artifacts/0x83b98444a05d9617fdbb49ba86fe6c0bf48a3f2f7b3e843629f51464ac4f053c..jpg" width="300"></a> A graphite portrait (scanned sideways) of an aged man: long swept-back hair, a deeply furrowed brow, hooded eyes, a knotted scarf at the neck, in the loose cross-hatched hand of Roy's other maze sketches. The code names itself (`FATHER_MIRROR` opens FATHER_MIRROR) and pairs directly with MOTHER_MIRROR, part of the maze's mirror-pair grammar. It also sits inside the family memory-archive thread (the wooden horse, the clock, the grandfather's plane). The title reads as the mirror that shows you your father: an aged face met as your own reflection forward in time, the parent as the self's twin, which is why it belongs to both the family archive and the mirror grammar at once. **Connects to →** [[Hall of Mirrors]] · [[The Mirror]] · [[Roy]] · [[Concepts/Duality]] ### #96 · SUBJECT TO FLOODING BTS · `SUBJECT TO FLOODING_ARCHIVE` <a href="https://storage.googleapis.com/jagwar-twin-33.appspot.com/artifacts/0x7849c44fcce57cc03ec9403d3470fcc3d102f734540e7a04bec0fe83ef3da12f..jpg"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/jagwar-twin-33.appspot.com/artifacts/0x7849c44fcce57cc03ec9403d3470fcc3d102f734540e7a04bec0fe83ef3da12f..jpg" width="300"></a> A behind-the-scenes photo from the *Subject to Flooding* sessions: five men lounging in a small dark writing room (red pendant lamps, a wall-mounted TV, an OB-6 synth, stacked keyboards, open laptops), Roy recognizable as the laughing hooded figure at center. The synth (released 2016) dates the scene to the late "wilderness years" build of the 2018 debut. The code `SUBJECT TO FLOODING_ARCHIVE` is the album title stamped with an archive label, framing the Hall of Mirrors as exactly that, Roy's personal museum: this room preserves the human, collaborative prehistory of the project before any of the later cosmology existed. Its twin, the next artifact, carries the code "IF THE SEA HAS ENOUGH WILL," pairing the two BTS rooms and looping them back to the flood imagery that names the album. **Connects to →** [[Subject to Flooding]] · [[Hall of Mirrors]] · [[Roy]] ### #97 · SUBJECT TO FLOODING BTS · `IF THE SEA HAS ENOUGH WILL` <a href="https://storage.googleapis.com/jagwar-twin-33.appspot.com/artifacts/0xdd86e191b6379629e8e3e560614a9e3f876eca1e47b65b49cb2f99241455a78c..jpg"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/jagwar-twin-33.appspot.com/artifacts/0xdd86e191b6379629e8e3e560614a9e3f876eca1e47b65b49cb2f99241455a78c..jpg" width="300"></a> The paired behind-the-scenes shot from the same *Subject to Flooding* sessions: Roy, blond top-knot in a leopard-print faux-fur coat, lounges on a couch beside an unmistakable Travis Barker (full sleeves, beanie, Nirvana smiley tank), with two others near a Moog-stacked keyboard rack. Barker is biographically load-bearing here: he co-wrote and drummed on "Long Time Coming," the album's opener. The code `IF THE SEA HAS ENOUGH WILL` reworks the album's own logic, since Roy's stated meaning of *Subject to Flooding* is ego-surrender ("we are all subject to flooding"), so the code hands the flood over to the sea's volition, one more beat in the long water-line that runs from the early records forward to "I am the shore." As one of the paired BTS rooms, it archives the pre-mythology Roy English era inside the maze that remembers who he was before the cosmology took shape. **Connects to →** [[Subject to Flooding]] · [[Hall of Mirrors]] · [[Roy]] ### #100 · COACHELLA SEEDLING · `COOL` <video src="https://storage.googleapis.com/jagwar-twin-33.appspot.com/artifacts/0x678c189fde5058554d934d6af17e41750fa2a94b61371c5ea958a7595e146324..mp4" poster="https://storage.googleapis.com/jagwar-twin-33.appspot.com/artifacts/0x678c189fde5058554d934d6af17e41750fa2a94b61371c5ea958a7595e146324..jpg" width="320" controls preload="none"></video> Fifteen seconds shot from deep in a festival crowd: a DJ works a raised booth under truss lighting, a vocalist stands atop the riser, spotlights and a blue LED wall sweeping a sea of raised hands and phones. This documents Roy's pre-Jagwar-Twin chapter as featured vocalist on Alesso's "Cool" (2015), performed at Coachella, and the code is simply that song's title. Roy's own framing of the era is telling: he wrote "Cool" as an orchestral piece, and Alesso "completely flipped the music into something else but the vocal and the heart was still the same." Filed among the maze's ghost-selves, and titled "SEEDLING," it frames the mainstream-EDM moment as the seed Jagwar Twin later grew from. A sister room, "LUNA_COACHELLA 2015," pins the same event and era. **Connects to →** [[Hall of Mirrors]] · [[Roy]] ### #101 · MOTHER_MIRROR · `MOTHER_MIRROR` <a href="https://storage.googleapis.com/jagwar-twin-33.appspot.com/artifacts/0x409d2d16135c2614beb5fcf6afbcac43abd58e9cf374a79b3410813386969a86..jpeg"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/jagwar-twin-33.appspot.com/artifacts/0x409d2d16135c2614beb5fcf6afbcac43abd58e9cf374a79b3410813386969a86..jpeg" width="300"></a> A rephotographed glossy family snapshot (shot lying on a table, rotated sideways): a curly-haired woman in a black polka-dot dress with a white bow crouches in a sunlit garden, straw cowboy hat in one hand, embracing a small child in a white shirt, almost certainly Roy's mother holding young Roy in the early 1990s. The code names the mother as the child's first mirror, the face in which a self is first reflected back, and the room's INFINITY tag completes the image: two mirrors facing each other make an endless regress, the generational recursion Roy writes on the board as "every generation carries within it the seed of all previous generations." The mother is where the whole inherited method begins, the one who filled the house with Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Native American flute, and Celtic chants. She is the biographical mother here, and only that. **Connects to →** [[Hall of Mirrors]] · [[Roy]] · [[Roy on Influences]] · [[The Mirror]] ### #104 · HAMMY VI · `HAMMY` <a href="https://storage.googleapis.com/jagwar-twin-33.appspot.com/artifacts/0xe4f6bd00d7413ea2f194599e1b0a1e557dd835b5bbd58654dfef3c7d6e0c8db1..png"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/jagwar-twin-33.appspot.com/artifacts/0xe4f6bd00d7413ea2f194599e1b0a1e557dd835b5bbd58654dfef3c7d6e0c8db1..png" width="300"></a> A cartoon cat standing upright, split down the vertical midline into a black half and a warm-gray half, each side mirror-inverting the other (the eyes reverse each other's dark/light scheme, the paws and boots swap tones), with a dark hamsa-like hand planted on the chest straddling the seam. The code is just the name `HAMMY`, and the "VI" suffix places it in the family "VI" line the catalog groups it with (Grandma VI's Cow and its kin), so it reads as a pet or mascot of that family orbit. Cosmologically the figure is a body-as-mirror: the flip of tones across the center line enacts Roy's Hall mechanic that things tend to flip inside the mirrors, while the hamsa-hand at the heart echoes the protective sigil already in the Jagwar Twin visual canon. Its slot among the personal, memory-object rooms supports the family read over a pure concept card. **Connects to →** [[Hall of Mirrors]] · [[Concepts/The Manifesto Cards]] · [[Roy]] ### #106 · ROY @ MSG · `MSG` <a href="https://storage.googleapis.com/jagwar-twin-33.appspot.com/artifacts/0x92aef1b955b9de564fc50e31a55b470b0c8cdb931f186485d620729fb03d6f2c..jpg"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/jagwar-twin-33.appspot.com/artifacts/0x92aef1b955b9de564fc50e31a55b470b0c8cdb931f186485d620729fb03d6f2c..jpg" width="300"></a> A photo of a perler-bead pixel artwork of Falkor, the white luckdragon from *The NeverEnding Story*, over which a crude yellow doodle adds "ME" with an arrow to a smiley-faced stick figure riding the dragon's back. The title "ROY @ MSG" and the code `MSG` (Madison Square Garden) turn it into a self-deprecating joke that is also a sincere wish: Roy writing himself into a childhood fantasy of being carried by luck to the biggest stage in music. Filed with the inner-voice self-statements, it reads as the daydream of a pre-fame self, and it is grounded in fact: at the launch-weekend Space, Roy frames playing Madison Square Garden and touring the world as the mass-scale goal alongside the web3 project. Falkor, from a story where a boy's imagination rebuilds the world, sits comfortably in a cosmology about imagination shaping reality, though the artifact plays it as humor, not doctrine. **Connects to →** [[Hall of Mirrors]] · [[Roy]] · [[Concepts/The Circus]] ### #107 · DUKE @ HOME · `DUKE` <a href="https://storage.googleapis.com/jagwar-twin-33.appspot.com/artifacts/0x60b4ccaaa1304900b972ca53a93187c32ce5d990740c56d973102e9b162d6979..png"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/jagwar-twin-33.appspot.com/artifacts/0x60b4ccaaa1304900b972ca53a93187c32ce5d990740c56d973102e9b162d6979..png" width="300"></a> A candid phone snapshot of Duke, a small black-and-white Pekingese/spaniel-type dog, standing on a flagstone step beside a backyard pool with potted agaves, patio furniture, and string lights behind him, a sunny Southern-California scene. Duke is groundable: in a Mirror Sessions episode with Calum Hood, Roy recounts knowing wordlessly when Calum is thinking "I gotta feed Duke," which places Duke in the household. The code is just the dog's name, making this one of the Hall's zero-esoterica rooms. The "@ HOME" title says the quiet part out loud: the maze is not only a cipher-labyrinth, it is an archive of an actual lived life, with the domestic and the creaturely set right beside the cosmological. **Connects to →** [[Hall of Mirrors]] · [[Roy]] ### #111 · LUNA_COACHELLA 2015 · `BELIEVE IN YOUR FRIENDS DREAMS` <a href="https://storage.googleapis.com/jagwar-twin-33.appspot.com/artifacts/0x604fedcb1e620c6f6027cecf3598deb665abf9b3e31e8476de75266a80f021f0..jpg"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/jagwar-twin-33.appspot.com/artifacts/0x604fedcb1e620c6f6027cecf3598deb665abf9b3e31e8476de75266a80f021f0..jpg" width="300"></a> A festival selfie from Coachella 2015: a young woman, almost certainly little luna (Roy's friend, the one from "LITTLE LUNA EXPLAINING NFTS," with whom he later got a matching ouroboros tattoo), grins in a white cap hand-painted "ROY" with a small doodled figure, over a black tee hand-lettered "I'M ..." in white paint. It is homemade merch for a friend who had no merch yet. In 2015 Roy was still pre-fame Roy English, three years before *Subject to Flooding*, so the code `BELIEVE IN YOUR FRIENDS DREAMS` is literally what the image shows: she wore his name in public before the world knew it. The belief later ran the other way, once Roy featured little luna on 33's "Pay Attention" and she sang background on "Great Time to Be Human," which makes this a small monument to faith between artists that got repaid. **Connects to →** [[Pay Attention (feat. little luna)]] · [[Great Time to Be Human]] · [[Hall of Mirrors]] · [[Roy]] ### #126 · A BRIDGE BETWEEN WORLDS · `B1030` <video src="https://storage.googleapis.com/jagwar-twin-33.appspot.com/artifacts/0xd4de6de71e72850f2397a3c4027173534058ab59f5cf166692d03824379022bd..mp4" poster="https://storage.googleapis.com/jagwar-twin-33.appspot.com/artifacts/0xd4de6de71e72850f2397a3c4027173534058ab59f5cf166692d03824379022bd..jpg" width="320" controls preload="none"></video> A three-second looping scan of a genuine WWI Victory Medal: a bronze winged figure of Victory hanging from the distinctive double-rainbow moiré ribbon that earned it the "rainbow medal" nickname, a battle clasp at the top, laid on a rough-cut board and rotating against black. Its cell-coordinate index is `B1030`; the meaning-laden phrase is "A BRIDGE BETWEEN WORLDS," which names the medal's double register perfectly. A war medal is a token carried across the threshold of life and death, and the rainbow was the classical bridge (Bifrost, the arc of Iris) joining the mortal and divine worlds, so the connection realm and the death-and-rebirth spine of the maze meet in a single heirloom. It reads as another turn of Roy's recurring matrilineal-memory layer rather than pure esoterica. **Connects to →** [[Hall of Mirrors]] · [[Concepts/The Pattern]] · [[Roy]] · [[Kabbalah - The Tree of Life]] ### #128 · ROY HBD · `HBD` <a href="https://storage.googleapis.com/jagwar-twin-33.appspot.com/artifacts/0x9c1ad6a3568d41d17baf239c6307f65b881be20272c50e5d826d95560a1c7d91..jpg"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/jagwar-twin-33.appspot.com/artifacts/0x9c1ad6a3568d41d17baf239c6307f65b881be20272c50e5d826d95560a1c7d91..jpg" width="300"></a> A loose, childlike ink sketch: a connect-the-dots line rising to a spiraled orbital node (a scribbled ringed planet or a small web at the peak), with "Happy Birthday to You" hand-lettered in Roy's signature style, each word prefixed by a little bullet-dot, the same punctuation-as-breath habit that runs through his maze scrawls. The code `HBD` is birthday shorthand, and August 21 is Roy's own birthday, which makes this a self-directed birthday piece rather than a wish to someone else. It is filed in the INFINITY realm alongside MOTHER_MIRROR, FATHER_MIRROR, and DAD'S CLOCK, the eternal-return corner of the cosmology, so the birthday reads less like a party than like another turn of the loop: the artist stamping his own rebirth-date into the maze's running clock of family, mortality, and cyclical return. **Connects to →** [[Hall of Mirrors]] · [[Roy]] · [[The Circle]] · [[Concepts/The Pattern]] ### #148 · MATT AND ROY LOSER · `LINUS PAULING` <video src="https://storage.googleapis.com/jagwar-twin-33.appspot.com/artifacts/0xc6cc8ef0843b3a6adb49cd716db07be49c4390b8a62cedd72d7726edf11e214c..mp4" poster="https://storage.googleapis.com/jagwar-twin-33.appspot.com/artifacts/0xc6cc8ef0843b3a6adb49cd716db07be49c4390b8a62cedd72d7726edf11e214c..jpg" width="320" controls preload="none"></video> A ten-second reposted Instagram Story filmed at night in what reads as Los Angeles (palm trees, a red light): the poster pulls up beside a white car and films the grinning, animated driver through his window. The payload is a mid-clip cutaway to her own dashboard, where the HD-radio screen is tuned to ALT 98.7 with the now-playing readout showing "...ar Twin: Loser." Jagwar Twin's "Loser" was on the radio at the exact moment she pulled alongside him. The whole piece is a real-world serendipity gag: the person and the song collide at a red light. The code `LINUS PAULING` is the decoder, since "Loser" was co-written and co-produced by Matthew Pauling with Roy, so the title pairs the two writers and the code puns Matt's surname onto the chemist Linus Pauling. Its place is documentary rather than esoteric: it certifies the human collaborator behind an early breakthrough track and folds a "the radio was playing our song" coincidence into the maze. **Connects to →** [[Loser]] · [[Hall of Mirrors]] · [[Roy]] · [[Subject to Flooding]] ### #149 · COOL MEXICO · `YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU THE MOST` <video src="https://storage.googleapis.com/jagwar-twin-33.appspot.com/artifacts/0x49570b1b95349619273b287c050ad426b34043be96ba6eb7bcdeb6aaada586a2..mp4" poster="https://storage.googleapis.com/jagwar-twin-33.appspot.com/artifacts/0x49570b1b95349619273b287c050ad426b34043be96ba6eb7bcdeb6aaada586a2..jpg" width="320" controls preload="none"></video> A ten-second, shaky phone clip filmed from the stage looking out at a massive nighttime outdoor crowd under a tented canopy, warm amber light, thousands of raised phone-lights scattered across the audience: documentary footage of a huge Mexico show. The code `YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU THE MOST` is a verbatim lyric from "Loser," where the line lands in the couplet "California, Mexico / You know I love you the most," so the code and the footage rhyme exactly. The video is the "Mexico" of that lyric made literal, a real crowd chanting the words back. It sits among the maze's phantoms as a biographical relic of the touring era "Loser" opened up, the artist's-eye view of the audience the whole project keeps turning back toward. **Connects to →** [[Loser]] · [[Hall of Mirrors]] · [[Roy]] · [[Concepts/The Pattern]] ### #151 · GRANDFATHER'S PLANE · `HEIMDALL` <video src="https://storage.googleapis.com/jagwar-twin-33.appspot.com/artifacts/0x7548d2b11013fdb9d727c8dcb9de441a431452dfed23506bd3ef3eb25c5322a9..mp4" poster="https://plumcreekranch.com/jagwar/artifacts/147.png" width="320" controls preload="none"></video> A short scan of a single military biplane floating against pure black, slowly rotating so its upper wing shows a concentric blue-white-red roundel, the RAF-style marking of a WWII-era Allied aircraft, consistent with the title and the c.1941 date the neighboring "WILLIAM RUDOLPH 1941" fixes to this same family cluster. Biographically it reads as a memorial to Roy's grandfather and his wartime aircraft, a literal family heirloom scanned into the archive. The code `HEIMDALL` names the Norse watchman who guards the Bifrost, the rainbow bridge between worlds, standing eternally at the threshold, which drops the plane into the maze's recurring gate-and-guardian chain. The move is characteristic: a personal object is lifted into an archetype, the ancestor becoming the sentinel who watches the crossing, the pun on "plane / plane" folding aircraft, ancestry, and metaphysical realm into one. **Connects to →** [[Hall of Mirrors]] · [[Roy]] · [[Concepts/The Pattern]] · [[The Watchers]] ### #152 · WILLIAM RUDOLPH 1941 · `1941` <video src="https://storage.googleapis.com/jagwar-twin-33.appspot.com/artifacts/0xcb53285b0d93959fe2b39d776c53c3ac62f51d590c6169c94a63eeb4e0302d5e..mp4" poster="https://storage.googleapis.com/jagwar-twin-33.appspot.com/artifacts/0xcb53285b0d93959fe2b39d776c53c3ac62f51d590c6169c94a63eeb4e0302d5e..jpg" width="320" controls preload="none"></video> A three-second macro video of a vintage gold lozenge-shaped pendant fob swaying on a fine chain over blue-and-gold fabric, engraved with a small bell-towered cupola above a banner and the date "1941," ending in a decorative point: the classic form of a 1941 graduation or fraternal pin, a genuine heirloom photographed as the visual key. The code `1941` is a documented puzzle solution, arrived at from a name-and-date riddle and confirmed by the date engraved on the fob itself. Within the maze it belongs to the family-and-heritage cluster (Grandfather Masks, Grandfather's Plane, Grandma VI's Cow), where personal mementos and hidden dates work as birth-and-discovery-year ciphers rather than song content. It is a heritage object with a puzzle attached, biographical rather than lyrical. **Connects to →** [[Hall of Mirrors]] · [[Concepts/The Pattern]] · [[Roy]] ### #153 · FAMILY PORTRAIT · `REBIRTH` <video src="https://storage.googleapis.com/jagwar-twin-33.appspot.com/artifacts/0x8fdf93e7aed449f3856db7d293024dd49fb4d51493ad5d4120edbd45744a8cb1..mp4" poster="https://storage.googleapis.com/jagwar-twin-33.appspot.com/artifacts/0x8fdf93e7aed449f3856db7d293024dd49fb4d51493ad5d4120edbd45744a8cb1..jpg" width="320" controls preload="none"></video> A three-second looping scan of a gold lozenge pendant engraved "1941" beneath a small tower device, hanging from a chain against a column of blue textured cloth, floating in black with the jagged mesh edges of a phone scan. Instead of a portrait of faces, the family is rendered as an inherited object: a 1941-dated heirloom medallion, a grandparent-era keepsake scanned into digital permanence, in the same series as "DAD'S CLOCK 4 BB ROY" and "CHUCKSTER'S MUMMY," private mementos turned into rooms. The code `REBIRTH` is the thematic key: a piece of the dead past captured and re-manifested, landing on the catalog's Phoenix axis of death-into-transformation, the burning that yields the Circle, extended here from song-symbol to literal family lineage, the ancestor "reborn" as a rotating digital relic. **Connects to →** [[Hall of Mirrors]] · [[Roy]] · [[The Circle]] · [[Concepts/Nigredo]] · [[Concepts/The Upload]] · [[Concepts/The Pattern]] --- ## Read next - [[Artifacts]] — the hub, and the rest of the artifact groups. - [[Hall of Mirrors]] — the ARG these objects were unlocked from. - [[Hall of Mirrors/The I'm 33 Board]] — the cosmology board so many of these keys point back to.
