Design constraints:
- no walls meet at a checkerboard / catty corner angle. All corners are solid L-shapes
- no 4x4 empty spaces outside of the entrance and nine courtyards
- no loops where you can return to a point without retracing your original path
- all small courtyards have an entrance and exit and are part of the solve path to the center
- all large courtyards (I’m going to put side goals / easter eggs in them) have only one entrance and are reachable as a branch of the solution path after the small courtyard that they are clockwise from.

Nice QR code, but I won’t fall for it, you won’t rickroll me!

OMG it’s wild that you would say that because I’m actually reading (listening to really) Snow Crash by Neil Stephenson as I’m making this! If you’ve never read it a pretty big plot point is a Brown Note image that looks like noise but that will scramble people’s brains if they have enough of an affinity for computer languages.

There was a short story I read a while back that also featured that plot point, but I don’t remember what it was called.
Only that I found it after reading into inspirations for The Laundry Files by Charles Stross.

Is it anything like Anathem (if you’ve read it)? I loved Anathem, but his other books looked very different.
