Solution

[ solution ]

Pick up the Connector attached to the Blue Emitter and Receiver. Carry it up the stairs and onto the raised platform, located between Emitters. Reconnect the Blue Emitter and Receiver, so that the Blue laser passes above the Red laser. If the other Connector has been moved, reconnect the Red Emitter and Receiver at ground level. With the interference resolved, you may now collect the Sigil behind the Blue door.
