Processed Location Data

Here's a image of Anoikis constructed using Project Compass data current as of data on map.

Following are older posts with earlier versions of the map:

Mark, I've finished the visualizing software for the project, here's an image capture. This is all the systems you and I have visited, using our calculated data points for position. --Faulx YC 113.12.13
Updated image of Anoikis by class. I've changed the coordinate systems to match the CONCORD astronomical database (apparently CONCORD likes positive-z to be down in their
very strange, left-handed coordinate system). I will also note that this spiral pattern echos the archaeological evidence of how stargates were built in k-space: "The [ancient] jump
gates snake out like a spiderweb from a central point." [1] --Faulx YC 114.02.01
This second image shows the same set of systems colored by Stellar Phenomena. --Faulx YC 113.12.13
Below is another updated image, this time for Stellar Phenomena. --Faulx YC 114.02.01

Relative Position

This image shows some perspective, as well as the relative positions of the Anoikis systems and New Eden. Also visible is some linear clustering of systems; this is due to the tenth of a light year
precision limitation of the control tower measurements, which results in a small amount of error in each system's actual position. An artifact of this error presents visually as layering of the points along
planes and clustering along lines within each plane.

Margins for Error

The next image examines the error in the calculated positions: The particular configuration of k-space towers will determine the error due to parallax. While the tenth of a light year limitation
in control tower distance measurements determines the rest. Visually, the error presents itself as clustering of the data into planes, and on those planes into lines, and on those lines into dots.
Basically, any system measured will "err" perpendicularly towards the nearest line (i.e. perpendicular to a line draw from New Eden to the system in question) rather than showing up at it's actual
position. This is due to the loss of precision due to "round-off-error" in distance measurement from the towers (e.g. 1330.1 LY instead of 1330.1268343 LY), and is similar to the positional error scan
probes give when scanning down signatures. The resolution of these errors is shown with the resolution between planes being about 8.8 LY, the resolution between lines about 6.5 LY and the
resolution between dots being about 0.1 LY. The error is so much worse in the tangential (planes and lines) direction because the "scan spheres" of the towers meet a such acute angles.

Anoikis Data YC 114.02.08

This next image highlights a conflict with Project Compass data and the interpretation that locus signatures (e.g. J100001) are directions
to nearby quasars. Under this theory JHHMMSS indicates a J2000 equinox of reference in the equatorial plane of Earth, where
HHMMSS is the Right Ascension in hours, minutes, and seconds. Normally a declination is also given, however only 3 systems give
even a partial declination (possibly because their "seconds" collumn would otherwise contain omitted zeros, which allowed a portion
of the remainder of the name +/-DDMMSS to show up in the neocom, which for some reason shows clipped system names to 7 characters:
here +/-DDMMSS would be the declination in degrees, minutes, and seconds). Together, the Right Ascension and declination form a
set of coordinates in Earth's sky which indicate the position of a quasar. In lieu of a declination, all lines are in the plane of the New Eden
and Anoikis clusters. Red shift in a quasar is also an important element in identifying distance to a quasar, though normally that information
is not in the quasar's name. The 3 systems mentioned before are: J1259+0 (C5), J1340+6 (C5), J1226-0 (C4). Compass has even found one
of these systems: J1340+6 (C5); its name showed up in the neocom as: J134096. I'm assuming that in the database a '9' where only a 0-5
should be is interpreted by the code as a '+'. I'd also like to note that this missing information is needed to complete Project Atlas and is most
likely one of the theories Lianda Burreau was looking to prove within w-space.

Wormhole Interconnection

Now for a very pretty (if busy) picture: I've added static wormhole information to the map. This image combines position information gathered by Project Compass with static wormhole, region, and
constellation data for each system (much of which was gathered by Brawyn78 before the information was locked out of the NeoCom). The image shows all possible connection points for static wormholes
departing source systems. Each connection is color coded and fades as it approaches a possible destination. The directions connections travel to Low, High, and Null sec are selected for clarity's sake and
do not accurately represent the direction to those areas (obviously). Connections heading to k-space are colored by destination rather than source system.

The ghastly monstrosity below is a companion piece to the above image. It is laid out in a poster format showing all the static wormhole exits broken down by region (that's w-space regions
numbered 1-30, not to be confused with k-space regions). Lines coming from a system show all possible exit points, though only one is active at any given time. The region, class and names
of the static wormholes are given for each frame. The above image is basically all of the regions below overlaid on top of each other.

I have heard reports of the existence of "constellation statics" and possibly "regional statics". The project has yet to observe or record this phenomena, and, thus, their nature is somewhat
uncertain. The basic concept to them is that like "system statics" these wormholes will be of a "static" type from the same class group as the system's normal statics (e.g. if system has N110,
constellation may have N110, J244, and Z060, though the exact mechanics are still uncertain). It should be noted that, because scanning an entire constellation in w-space is so difficult to
set up, almost no data has been gathered on constellation statics and the poster below is exclusively composed of "system statics".

Wormhole Charts

Next is a group of charts containing indexing information for navigating wormhole probability space. These charts are constructed using
detailed wormhole position data from Project Compass, w-space system/constellation/region information recorded by Brawyn78 at his datacore
before the information became unreadable through the NeoCom, and wormhole signature strength and general location data gathered and shared
by Elisa Fir. Note, this data is not yet complete (lifetime and mass data is constructed from various, uncertain sources and may represent rumor
rather than truth, experimental verification may be required):

Edit 03/06/114: I have added data gleaned through Project Snapshot to the charts.

note, mass/jump = total mass in gigagrams (Gg) that can pass through wormhole at once (limits ship size able to enter various sectors of space; it's possible that CONCORD's anti cap ship technology may be having an effect on wormholes, further study needed), max mass = maximum amount of mass that can pass through before wormhole collapse, and sig str = signature strength (used for scanning)
* null sec not including jove/ccp space, numbers may need verification
^also note that the odds of finding a wormhole in null sec can be influenced by the Quantum Flux Generator infrastructure upgrade.
**judging by wormhole mass allowances (class 1 allows only 20,000,000 kg per passage, restricting ships to battlecruiser or smaller; is it possible that something similar to CONCORD anti cap ship tech is influencing wormholes in class 1 space?, further study needed)
***not high sec, class 1, 2, 3, or 4 space, judging by mass allowances (high sec, class 1, 2, 3, and 4 do not allow more than 1,000,000,000 kg per passage, i.e. no dreadnaught or higher)
