Tuva- spoiler

[Jordan Fink]

So, the writting is tuvan.

what a nice set of convergences for tuva:

-first there is the location: up-stream from where the meteor hit
-closeness to the mythical land of Shambala
-location in the center of asia
-association with Richard Feynman and thus feynman diagrams (i know that
-the diagrams originated in the 1970s but they are so similar to vectors)
-association with shamanism
-upsidedown stamps which were NOT for postage but were sold directly to
collectors (much like the World's Fair Silver Dollers and the World's Fair
Commenorative Stamps which were used to raise congressional fund for the
World's fiar)
-The upsidedown stamps also remind me of the upsidedown delta, known as
the Directional derivative, part of Gauss's law and the Maxwell Field
Equations.

(this last one is not so farfetched: remember the new york department
store that Dally goes to? it was called the i,k,j. something (i don't have
the book infront of me) and was where she was trying to plot the location
of her mother who had dissappeared into the invisable.
