In Response To: Re: Answer to question 2 (Hamish Sinclair)

: eh? You're calling his 5D space? A number of people have noted this in past
: but basically you can't enter the room. It's more like a visual error. You
: can find the same thing happening on They May Be Slow...

: Cheers
: Hamish

Granted, Pathways levels are made out of sectors instead of polygons and there's a chance that a visual error occurs from certain position of the grid; in this case, walls and sprites disappears, leaving just the floor and ceiling on a infinite perspective (it's not infinite but it looks infinite.)

Bungie used fake pillars for other secret areas and there's a pillar on Beware of Low-Flying Nightmares (as I recall) that doesn't appear on the map. I haven't checked They May Be Slow... but for Lasciate Ogne Speranza, Voi Ch' Intrate this infinite view is spoted looking directly at a pillar. So there's a chance this was intentional; not a easter-egg but maybe an experiment.

If this was an experiment, it's feasible that by entering the room within the pillar (or the wall or the room behind that wall) the game had crashed. I'm not a developer so I'm gonna change my statement to:

It is possible that Pathways was able to do 5D space but the evidence is circumstantial.
