Looks like Anthony Castanza might be on to something.

Four Indications that some of the basic principles of what we know about #shaperglyphs are wrong.
The addition of new and unknown glyphs to the scanner the other day prompted me to reevaluate the symbols that have been there the entire time.
From four of those symbols, I've come to the conclusion that our existing glyph calibration grid is incomplete, and that fact has been staring us in the face for quite some time. Two of the calibration points have been withheld, until now, by an unknown individual, for an unknown purpose.
With the simple modification from a square within a hexagon to a hexagon within a hexagon these previously unaccountable symbols are accommodated perfectly.
But more importantly, these have been circulating amongst the general population for a considerable amount of time, and yet, their meanings are completely unknown, with no previous point of reference to being speculation.
Stein Lightman, as our resident glyph expert, would you like to weigh in on this issue? As well as the other newly discovered glyphs (in due time of course) .

I do remember a coming across some attempt to analyze these symbols when they were first leaked, but I seem to have misplaced the conclusions, assistance in this area would also be appreciated.

I was just thinking about this the other day!
ReplyDeleteThe question of these "wrong" glyphs was a thing I always wanted to ask Lightman. I have never gotten a straight answer about them, only evasions of the "what do you think they mean" variety.
I also think this is the correct grid :and also note that one may nest glyphs in this form.
I believe that all four of these forms are syntactically related, as well. We have Shaper ideograms, but no Shaper language. imagine trying to speak Chinese with nothing but a dictionary!
