    Why in the world would that specific 3x3 matrix be a trigger for an attack? Are they trying to find someone doing some particular kind of numerical analysis?

      A status code for (industrial/the-man) equipment? You could target specific environments by activating on obscure error codes that can be remotely triggered.

      Aka If someone from the outside can make your equipment emit X internally, they can target X in some way.
