Something to occupy the mind while we wait ..
Firstly, I know nothing about these AI chat sites like ChatGPT, bugger all in fact but I’m learning and if anybody is in any way expert in using the stuff do you think it might find what the following has been taken from?

Would AI give the same answer, that’s the gist of it ..

I think that AI would narrow it down to a few lines. It would be
fascinating to input a couple of lines from the Code and see what AI
makes of them?

I asked ChatGPT if it could identify the letters as the first letters of a popular poem and got nowhere, but think that if the question was better phrased a bloke might get lucky.
The reason for this exercise is that if successful it might indicate another way of deciphering the code, one which incorporates the placement of the letter A in the 7th position of each line of over 7 letters.

Something else to ponder
AI doesn’t understand black ops

You tried it ?

I wonder if the Code letters are words from a well known book? i.e. CMI? if these three letters were shown, I would have a good idea of the books title.

I think the code letters are from something that hasn’t been digitised & isn’t well remembered- eg a play or musical from the 1940s that has long been forgotten. AI simply works with things that have been published on the internet- it will be skewed towards post 1990 writing or digitisations. I’d still like to give the JC Williamson archive a crack! I’d try the musicals “The Girlfriend” (pre 1980s version) & “Under the Counter”. Is there anyone on here based in Canberra?

I tried this sort of stuff with ChatGPT a while back (actually I think I was trying to get it to make a poem out of the code – same, but different) – but getting it to understand what I was trying to do proved quite difficult and it kept coming up with “solutions” that didn’t fit the instructions….

Maybe if we split the code into parts by using the 7th letter A as a separator, ie;WTBIMP

Isn’t it BIMP? Boxall is my partner and not Thomson’s partner
We don’t even know if the letters that we see are what was there anyway
It is made to look like it came from Jess, but that is all part of the charade to trap a spy
In any event the train line with the level crossing X above the O is there to illustrate Overland train
Look for the obvious, not micro codes

No. 1: MLIABO-If the third letter is really a slash, then these letters could read: ML/ALBO. Melbourne/Adelaide By Overland. As you have already surmised.
