Aura
+9,595 aura
How the aura is measured
| Ĝ, grade, assigned at inspection | II | 0.750 |
| Ê, edge density, the embellishment | 0.420 | 0.383 |
| Ĥ, colour entropy, bits | 4.61 | 0.271 |
| K̂, RMS contrast | 0.227 | 0.643 |
s = 0.5 Ĝ + 0.3 Ê + 0.1 Ĥ + 0.1 K̂ = 0.5814, ŝ = 0.7973 across the inventory. Aura = 8,000 + 2,000ŝ. Nothing in the inventory reads below 8,000. An algorithm, after al-Khwārizmī, الخوارزمي.

1,679 bits, 23 by 73. The two primes of the Arecibo message, 1974, so that anyone who counts can find the grid.
- Rows 1 to 5: the numbers one to ten in binary, as at Arecibo.
- Rows 7 and 8: the inventory number, then the aura.
- Rows 9 and 10: the colour, red, green, blue.
- Rows 12 to 67: the silhouette, segmented from photograph 1.
- Rows 69 to 72: a mark of the house.
