	In Response To: One last shot at the geometry (Claude Errera) : If you look at recent video footage (say, the Staten/O'Donnell discussion : video), you'll see that that brownish stone stuff is what the walls of the : PoA look like. So what you're seeing at the bottom is what's below the : window, at the back of the picture. Haven't seen the footage, and I admit it did occur to me that the glass might be attached to something at the bottom, but I didn't base any analysis on it. : The GLASS has an embedded grid pattern on it - you're seeing THAT overlaying : the wall, making the stuff BEHIND the wall look different from the bottom : stuff. I noticed the grid in the glass. : The screen itself is free-standing - the blue border at the bottom is just : how light reflects through the thickness. You're on one side of the : glass... most of the numbers and shapes are on the glass itself... and : Cortana is behind it, talking to you. (She's a friggin' AI - it shouldn't : be hard for her to read inverted text - think of her as a weathergirl, : pointing out that new low front moving in.) The small diagram behind her : hip is on the back wall, next to the window - far enough back that you : can't see it through her body. She's a friggin AI, she shouldn't need to read things in the real world. Much to crude a way to filter her information. I said that those things by her hips were on a pillar in the back, somewhere above. : The only part I can't understand, with this analysis, are those two screens : at the bottom. They're tilted, presumably for easy reading. However, the : text at the top is readable, not reversed... which means they're tilted : DOWN. Is this whole thing way over your head? Yeah, I think I said they were pointed down above too. Presumably for easy reading, but I said that it seemed to make the third screen above the two very hard to read, since it's so far above anyone's head (I think the floor behind Cortana is way below her.. perhaps she's on a catwalk, or some second level in a 2 story command room, etc..) Anyway, most of the background in the image is the planet. We're just on the night side of it. The planet, and the ceiling of the room.
