Purple barrier

From The Talos Principle Wiki

Purple barriers, also called purple gates or purple walls, are surfaces that cause the player to drop any held items and terminate any in-progress recording or playback. However, it is possible to teleport through a purple barrier without dropping items. Purple barriers do not stop lasers (but blue doors do).

Every puzzle has a purple barrier at its entrance. Immediately after entering a puzzle through this barrier, the name of the puzzle appears on screen (this generally does not occur when entering a puzzle by other means, such as climbing over a wall or glitching).
