First thing: you should add that all the "knowledge" you get here can be used on the opposite side of the Island to access the Feynman video that goes with the theory.

Fermentation are microscopic organism doing something, here colors. And it's fun to notice that each area has a different biotop, going from alga, to small plant, to the trees in the red area.

You can walk on "natural path". The other half of the Marsh or near the cage out of water you walk on rocks...

Yellow above water and Blue underwater is also what you get in Symmetry Island but you also get a blue part at the begining that is "abstract" with blue only connecting dots. Here the idea is that you're not just taking shapes into account but "substract" shape so less of an observation and a deduction... and more of an abstraction.

Row 9 :  you're saying it yourself. Red is not about deduction or abstraction. Red is about simple observation. It's the Spira video and the "red laser" areas. Red is the intimate knowledge (the meditating girl you can see from the Tree Houses when you look at the Marsh).

You should add the puzzle line colors and the connectors colors everywhere, the pattern is more obvious with those. White as bridges (the start, the rotating and both the boat and the exit (that don't move once you've done it) are illuminated with a white connector... all bridges, moving or not).

A thing to add: the first bridge can't be completed because it doesn't fit in a 3*6 grid but the last can with 3*7 so while the red door is "whole" when smaller more intimate, the white bridge is only "whole" when bigger.

The alligator is, I think a representation of the evolution of the biotope of the Marsh. We get from algae to tree, and from "fermentation" to animals. Therefore the Marsh is both the "primary soup" of the evolution of life but also the start of connecting all different sorts of knowledge.

I would add the Zen meditation figure from the distant and maybe the sculpture of the painter to the Marsh.

And one last thing: the laser! Don't forget the laser "inside a dead tree", that's gonna have a role later.

Nice post, maybe you can add a link to Gaming_mantra video as "other points of view" I am sure he would like that.
