Hey everyone Im back, long day at the Neurologist... and no sleep for a few days is rough. Regarding my last post, I realize I may have made an error referencing 3 images. When I started on the imgur site with the original picture I right clicked, view image, then view image details. This gave the two extra PNG files i referenced but wont reveal them in the imgur thread. I believe these are just generic backgrounds and part of the CSS of chrome and firefox respectively.

Regarding the 2D/3D path, I was able to get a super high res image roughly 5mb that allows me a massive zoom without getting distortion. I havent printed it yet but just inspecting It via my tiny laptop screen I can see the depth of the brush strokes, many of which are what form the numbers/letters that you cant see by viewing color alone. So the depth aspect gives us our proper plane X-Y-Z. If someone wants to PM me or email me and help me upload the raw image youll immediately see what Im talking about.

Another question since im about 30 pages into the previous threads... The creator specifically mentions deep learning and neural networks, we keep trying to visually pick out numbers and patterns but has anyone actually scanned this against an OCR or image processor? Im not by any means a programmer but im learning python right now today actually to write the code and get this done, unless someone already has... Im going to post and link a screen cap of exactly what Im talking about with depth of brush strokes.... and for anyone out there wondering how I got the 5mb image there really is no way I could remember because like I said, medications and no sleep for 2 days make things interesting. I do know that the Image was produced by https://crusescanner.com as they are listed in the meta data as creators. Reading their website their equipment specifically makes high res scans of 2D and 3D projects.

The high resolution scans are beautiful, however the puzzle was published in a "solvable" state with a lower resolution jpg. I think it's safe to say the solution does not include analyzing the details of the high resolution image.
