Clues & Indicators -The Puzzle Pieces!

How the Game Pieces are shown to us!!

CLUES or INDICATORS (the Puzzle Pieces):  

Clearly a consistent concept that LOST uses that I have termed "Clues" or “Indicators”. (Not sure what LOST calls it?   remember  Bea Klugh !! ) 

Clues or Indicators (or Indications): are clever Spoken, Visual, Behavioral, Names, Nicknames, Symbolism, Metaphors, Colors, Imagery, Sounds, Finger Gestures  and "anything to grab attention" to define the game piece's/character's at that particular time, as the episodes go along.  Clues provide us information about the game pieces, they can show us what side they are on (LIGHT or DARK), if they follow Fate, Free Will, Faith or Science. Clues can show us what Element they follow at that time FIRE, AIR, WATER , or EARTH and What Zodiac Sun Sign that each game piece represents as each of the 12 Signs of the Zodiac has its on set of symbolism, metaphors, and Colors. There are also what I have termed "Finger Clues" that show us character's "alignment".

  There are many types of Clues or Indicators that LOST uses:

all covered in more details on separate pages .......

---Visual Light side Indicators and Visual Dark side (Yin Yang) Indicators - Clues that show us if they are a LIGHT game piece or a DARK game piece at that time.

--- Zodiac Sign Indicators (all 12 signs) - Clues that show us what Zodiac Sun Sign the game piece represents at that time

--- 4 Elements (Fire, Air, Water, Earth) Indicators or Clues. - Clues that show us what Element that game piece follows at that time.

--- Character Role Indicators (the Roles correspond to their Zodiac Signs) - Clues that show us the current Role for that game piece and further can show us if they are LIGHT or DARK.

---Fate Indicators and Free Will Indicators - Clues that show us if the game piece represents FATE or FREE WILL at that time.

--- Faith Indicators and Science Indicators  - Clues that show us if the game piece represents FAITH or SCIENCE at that time.

---Clever Finger Clues denoting Character Alignments - Finger Gestures showing us game pieces Alignment or position in the game.

All types of Clues are very carefully blended in throughout every episode of LOST, creating what seems like one huge LOST Logic puzzle. At times, they may show us a character is on the LIGHT or DARK side.  They may show us that a character is a certain Zodiac sign such as Aries (thus the Element of FIRE also) at a certain time. They may show us that a character follows Fate or Free Will.  They may show us that a character follows  Science or Faith. 

Not all information is provided at once , it has all must be deciphered.  Every Clue shown is just one piece of the puzzle.  Not everyone has LIGHT and DARK clues at all times, not everyone has Character Role clues, not everyone has Horus or Seth Clues at all time's.  Fate, Freewill , Science and Faith clues appear every now and then as well.   Leaving us to be Sherlock Holmes  and figure out who is what and where. Leaving us to decipher the symbolism , note the indication, and compare it with the other given clues.   collecting info, noticing patterns and changes.  

Putting the Pieces together

You then can collect the Puzzle Pieces and put together  patterns and "derived" characteristics of a game pieces and sides. You can also start to see actual Game moves being played out, game pieces changing from LIGHT to DARK etc as the game is played.    

You can use "Derived Logic", for example, If Jack has a Dark side visual clue and also speaks of FATE and Charlie speaks of FATE in that very same scene, you can then derive that Charlie is on  the Dark side as well.  Further, if Locke is speaking of "Free Will" (thus he would be opposition of FATE and the dark side from the previous clue),we can conclude he is on the LIGHT side.  Like i said, its a Logic puzzle.

 But once you do start to map things out, you will start to find some interesting "derived" clues elsewhere built from the previous information.

<-----I went into detail on each of the above types, each one with its own page. (currently only Horus and Seth Indicators are up, more to come)

This concept is the bread and butter of my Theory. This theory works from the ground up and is based on consistent, convincing and careful Indirect "proof" of the game elements , rather than guessing and surmising and then waiting to find out later with nothing to go by.  Showing us that LOST is a clever and consistent systemized game.  Brilliant!

Once you learn to interpret all the above sets of symbolism and Clues , my hopes is that you will be able to re-watch LOST again at a whole new level.   

Not everybody will want to delve into it. Its not a easy journey, it is at times confusing.  But it is there waiting for those who want to dig
