The nine glowing locks spaced around the Gate. Each one locks onto a symbol, and their combination opens a passage to another world.
Overview
Six symbols place the destination in space, like coordinates. The seventh is the point of origin, the place you leave from. The eighth is used to leave the galaxy.
