GIFT (Ω)

GIFT is the name colloquially given to the SD cards dropped during the *Seedlings* event.

## Details

The picture consists of two images. The one on the left was passed around in secrecy. It is unknown who sent it first. The image on the right was seen being given to solvers by Roland G. Tombukopp although their identity and where they got the file is unknown. It is extremely difficult to figure out who got access to the system as only 12 people in the world were able to properly access the GIFT as was surmised from calculating difference the amount of drop locations stated in *Seedlings* and the amount of forfeited seeds shown in *Violation of Rules*. Due to the mysterious and classified nature, information concerning GIFT should be taken with a grain of salt.

According to the Omega card, the drop locations for the *Seedlings* event were deliberately chosen. While it isn't explicitly stated how or why these people were chosen, the Omega card references 53 puzzles, one being accessible each day, that reward the chosen few with cryptocurrency. It is likely the few who received their seed were proven to be exemplary solvers. These 53 puzzles were used in tandem with the LADDER, the LADDER entries being used to access instructions for what can be assumed are the cryptocurrency puzzles. The Omega card states the contents of the 53 cards are unique for each person, suggesting either the puzzles were loaded onto the Seedlings SD card or the puzzles for each traveller were pre-loaded on the Omega Gateway.

What is interesting is the term "Traveller". The Seedlings dropped were SD cards, travellers being handheld cameras and recorders. It's possible the camera footage seen throughout the KGB videos are from these Travellers.

The corners of the two cards shown consist of lotuses, which are portrayed as symbols of enlightenment:

> “The immaculate lotus grows in muddy swamps just as an enlightened being arises from the contaminated world, unstained by its pollutants. In the same way, our own enlightenment will arise from the mud of our samsaric lives, our buddha nature shining pure, luminous, and uncontaminated by the ignorance and karma in which it is now blanketed.”

The lotus coincides with the term "seedling" seen throughout the *Seedlings* and *Violation of Rules* videos. The former suggests the solvers are in some way being referred to as seeds while the latter suggests some of these seeds have not grown - presumably into a lotus flower. The "status of enlightenment" was asked of solvers by Gordon when they first entered the community along with the traveller numbers of those they asked. It is probable they were referring to whether or not the solver's seedling had germinated into a blossoming lotus.

## Theories

The meaning of the GIFT acronym is unknown however some stipulate it has something to do with either giving information to travellers or getting information from them. It’s possible software of sorts was installed on the users’ devices and kept track of what they were doing. This would make sense since the Omega card states the travellers would be recompensed in cryptocurrency for each of the 53 cards they deciphered as part of the GIFT system.
