Triquetra notebook

Triquetra notebook

The **triquetra notebook** is a leather bound notebook with records related to the time traveling events of Winden. It has a triquetra (trinity knot) on the cover. Several copies exist at the same time due to time travel.

## History

Much mystery surrounds the book for many of those who know about it. According to Noah, whoever originally wrote it "had already seen the future and the past." For part of its history, it is missing the final pages of its contents. Peter Doppler comments on this oddity to Tronte Nielsen when the two are following its instructions. Adam, the leader of the cult Sic Mundus, enlists the help of Noah to find and retrieve them.

The book was completed on November 6, 2019, in the alternate world. It was written by the Unknown, the son of Jonas Kahnwald and alternate Martha Nielsen. The book presumably includes content up until at least this day in the alternate world and September 24, 2053, in the prime world, though it possibly includes information on the apocalypse on November 8 and Adam's purpose to destroy the origin on September 26 as well.

Following its completion, it was given to Claudia Tiedemann in Adam's world by the alternate Claudia. Having come from Eva's world, its explicit purpose was to uphold the knot: The alternate Claudia stated that she would work to do the same in her own world. This would be the purpose that all its readers would seek from it, regardless of whether perpetuating the knot was their ultimate goal.

### November 6, 2019 (Alternate world)

The adult Unknown finishes writing the notebook. He writes "I am left to die alone, and I am my sole judge. Me. The beginning is the end. And the end is the beginning." on the last page. Eva presumably gives the notebook to alternate Claudia.

### November 8, 2019 (Alternate world)

Eva sends the Claudia from her world over to Adam's world to give the notebook to Claudia in 2020.

### September 25, 2020 (Prime world)

In the police station of post-apocalyptic Winden, Claudia encounters her alternate self. Her other self gives her the triquetra notebook and instructs her that she must uphold everything in this loop.

### November 4, 2052 (Prime world)

Claudia holds onto the notebook for the next thirty-two years. In 2052, an elderly Claudia rips the last pages from it and stuffs them in her coat. She travels to 2019.

### November 2019

On the night of November 4, Claudia meets Peter Doppler and Tronte Nielsen after their encounter with the body of Tronte's son Mads. She has them move Mads's body to where it is meant to be found and gives them the notebook.

For the next eight days, Peter and Tronte observe time traveling events occur as predicted in the book. Tronte believes that after that night, November 12, "everything will be new" and Mads will live. Peter, however, wonders why "half the pages" have been torn out.

### September 25, 2020

Peter keeps the notebook after the events of November and includes it in his and Charlotte's investigations of time travel. Following the apocalypse in June 27, he keeps it on him at all times. When he is killed, his daughter Elisabeth takes the book and goes to Noah.

### 2041

When his daughter (newborn Charlotte) is kidnapped, Noah vows to find her. He leaves and takes the notebook with him.

### 1920/1953/1986/2019

Stumbling into the Sic Mundus lodge, Noah finds Adam. Adam instructs Noah to find the remaining pages. Noah uses the notebook to guide his actions during the experiments with the time machine chair across 1953, 1986, and 2019.

### June 1954/1921

Noah kills the elderly Claudia on the night of June 23, 1954, and obtains the missing pages from her body. They inform him of the truth of Charlotte's identity. He keeps them tucked in his version of the book until he confronts Adam on June 27, 1921.

### September 24, 2053

After Noah is killed at the hands of his sister Agnes, Adam holds onto the book. He shows a family tree contained within it to alternate Martha, which demonstrates how the trees of both worlds originate from the child conceived by her and the Jonas that traveled to her world.

## Contents

### Time travel table

A page with a table is briefly seen, seemingly recording when someone time travels (with the chair). The first three columns probably signify the three time periods, the fourth column the date, and the fifth column the time. The sixth column appears to record mHz / Hz, with all records adding up to 50Hz (the standard frequency of the power grid) except the third row, which adds up to 50,1Hz.

### Layout of the nuclear power plant

The location of the God Particle inside the nuclear power plantThe instruction to "follow the signal" of the God Particle's radiation
### Beginning of the last cycle

The marking in the book forewarning of the beginning of the last cycle, on the same day as the apocalypse

### Family tree
