 +** Omph strength is calculated by measuring the width of the labyrinth (in stadia) at its widest point.
 +** 1 stadion equals 184.9 meters (according to another mail from Eli)
 +** Converter/Strength Calculator can be found [http://omphastrength.chaosklub.com/ here]
 +** Regarding the labyrinth's width: "If you create an x-y axis centered around the center of the labyrinth, with the y axis extending directly toward the exit, you could choose the diameter at either the x-axis or the y-axis. That is my best advice." (Eli in a mail to [[user:Canzonett|Canzonett]]).

Current revision

[edit] Earth Omphalos

Contents

Returns:
MAKE OMPH KNOT: One rock, covered by a net, with at least 27 knots.
OMPH STRENGTH: K1 + K2 + K3 ... + K27. K = (C x S)/6
Trace a labyrinth (any design) at least 3 stadia wide. The bigger the labyrinth, the more powerful it is.
The labyrinth must have AT LEAST 3 circuits. The more circuits, the stronger the knot.
Earth-scale omphalos knots must be created within omph city limits. OMPH CITIES PENDING.
  • Eli emailed details about the labyrinth design rules:
    • Labyrinths must be concentric, which means the center of the labyrinth has really to be in the middle of the overall layout.
    • The distance between the pathes must be of uniform width, or at least very close to uniform width. The path should not get wider and narrower as it twists and turns.
    • Perfect symmetry, on the other hand, is not a requirement, although it is certainly considered the hallmark of a powerful labyrinth.
    • Omph strength is calculated by measuring the width of the labyrinth (in stadia) at its widest point.
    • 1 stadion equals 184.9 meters (according to another mail from Eli)
    • Converter/Strength Calculator can be found here
    • Regarding the labyrinth's width: "If you create an x-y axis centered around the center of the labyrinth, with the y axis extending directly toward the exit, you could choose the diameter at either the x-axis or the y-axis. That is my best advice." (Eli in a mail to Canzonett).
  • More information regarding the "running" of those labyrinths:
    • They are not run blindfolded!!
    • Cars are allowed.
    • A relays might be a good strategy.
    • A team with different strength might be more sucessfull.
    • It is extremely important to record both geographic location and speed, because they have to be repeated on parallel worlds (even though not synchronously).
    • Designs must be approved by Eli.
