The Official FOX site imaginetheimpossibilities.com has been updated with a new image – that of a Butterfly with a visible (and freaky) Exoskeleton. Below the butterfly is an equation s(b)=ba and above the butterfly are two overlapping circular images. When the butterfly is clicked, a radio spot is played, and a new radio spot, about a ‘51 year old female patient growing over eight 1/2 inches overnight’, is also revealed. We’ve captured it below for your listening convenience:

I’m not sure what the equation relates to but one would assume it ties in with the Golden Ratio as well as the associated audio above? As for the circular images, that’s also a mystery. We’ll do some digging to see what we can come up with. Do let us know if you find anything.

To me, the equation looks like an element of a symmetry group, which comes from abstract algebra. The golden ratio isn’t particularly important in abstract algebra, so if S(b) is indeed a permutation, the it probably isn’t directly connected to the significance of phi in “Fringe”.
Hey, thanks for the heads-up on this. Good to have some clarification on this area.
is there anything to the dots under the picture?
Yep – it’s braille.
Here’s a good thread in the forums that discuss its meaning.
There’s also some more stuff on the braille here.
