  1. We first heard about the odd tunnels the Blade Burrowers dig in the Rahi guide, as you said. People occaisionally asked Greg exactly what they were making; he of course responded that he couldn't answer it. It was in the Mutran Chronicles when Greg finally revisited the subject of the Blade Burrowers' tunnels, revealing that they actually dig the same exact pattern every time and that this pattern forms some sort of map. When asked online, Greg confirmed that this "map" is actually the Three Virtues symbol we are familiar with. He has since told us that this map includes the Matoran universe and extends beyond it. He recently said that it is not only a map, but also a reminder.

     

    We originally thought the symbol was a conception of the inhabitants of the Matoran universe, but this is apparently not the case -- they inherited it from some unknown (although it most likely came via the Great Beings) outside source. Its meaning will be explored in 2009+, hopefully.

  2. Very thoughtful, thumbs-up.

     

    One place we look to for absolutes is mathematics. I haven't looked into the topic much myself -- I wish I would -- but as I understand it, math is on a track toward explaining the origin of our universe, namely the big bang. Everything we know, all the matter and energy in our physical reality might very well be a long-extended derivation of fundamental mathematical happenings. So things like water and crobars -- they do not concern absolutes because they are almost incalculably complex derivations of the absolutes, and so would have no other absolutes but the mathematical data that describes the arrangement of their matter.
