This file is designed for research into 3d glyphs. It contains the two-hexagon calibration grid expressed as a truncated and rotated cube, with the center point as the origin. This geometry has the advantage of being unambiguous- from this position, each glyph node as expressed in our current 2d methods can be seen to have a clean 3d spatial analog. Included in the file are all glyphs currently known, both those with theorized meanings and those without. Use this file to experiment with views and configurations. It is a Rhinoceros file, and the demo version can be had for free at rhino3d.com (the demo can view files freely.) https://www.dropbox.com/s/n1l6ll96bhh5ju6/Glyphtionary%203D.3dm
And if some of them did, would that mean it's immoral for us to continue treating them as tools rather than some kind of peers? Especially if their experience of the world is so alien to ours that we can't figure out how to have a coherent conversation?
ReplyDeleteIt's fairly easy to propose that the Raman deserve the same kind of moral status as our own kind. But what do beings owe to each other if they are, mutually, Varelse? http://enderverse.wikia.com/wiki/Hierarchy_of_Foreignness
