This is my current preliminary hypothesis of how the text is encrypted in the VM.
All linguistic traces are removed from it and it is transformed into a graphic hologram - angelic language, radiant, according to ancient Ethiopian methodology.
No, I haven't gone crazy yet.

The starting background for this hypothesis is the number of indicators and clues leading to the Ethiopian version of the Book of Enoch.
When browsing ancient Ethiopian manuscripts related to the Book of Enoch, you will come across a large number of different symbols that show similarities to the symbols in the VMS. The symbols are provided with loops and rings.
When asking AI what these symbols and loops mean in Ethiopian history, you will get a very comprehensive answer regarding angelic, demonic, divine symbols, used especially in magical scrolls.
The name of these symbols can be CHARAKTÊRES (Richard Gordon CHARAKTÊRES BETWEEN ANTIQUITY AND RENAISSANCE TRANSMISSION AND RE-INVENTION)
These symbols can also be found under the terms Ketav malakhim (Angelic alphabet)
What are these symbols for
A common feature of the signs is that they are ineffable. Because they have no phonetic value. They are purely visual symbols. Their ineffability was often perceived as a sign of their immense power. They were usually considered symbols from the writing of various angels and provided a means of communication with the divine world.

They are not passive signs, but active emitters into which the author has inserted the necessary information. In other words, these signs are not read, but are allowed to act according to this ancient methodology. The book is like an emitter.
Why is the content encrypted in these symbols?
The goal was to transcend human reason, according to tradition these characters come directly from the Angels. By shedding the word from its usual textual form and rewriting it into geometric lines and knots, it became a permanent luminary.

How the source text is encrypted ?
The resulting visual form was unique each time. These symbols were created by the so-called Däbtär. They were not only spiritualists, but also folk artists. They learned from centuries-old manuals and books of secret teachings (such as the Awda Nagast - The Book of Magical Stars). The resulting tangle of characters could look very chaotic and original, even though it was built on a solid foundation.
Symbols are ideograms, not an alphabet
Ethiopian magic signs do not represent sounds. They are so-called ideograms or pictograms. One complex symbol with eyes can express an entire concept - for example, "the name of the archangel Michael", "the binding of the demon" or "divine light". There is no key (such as Morse code or Caesar cipher) that would decompose the symbols into individual words.
Intentional destruction of text
The creators (däbtäras) deliberately distorted the text when creating the image. When the däbtära redrawn the already distorted foreign word into the form of the magical symbol CHARAKTÊRES, the original linguistic trace was definitively lost. It is impossible for modern scientists to reconstruct the original word from mere circles and lines. The only way to understand the symbols is through contextual analysis.
Point procedure
1. First, a text is selected (e.g. the Book of Enoch)
2. Deconstructing the text so that it loses human readability, isolating the letters
3. Geometrization of the text, deformation, folding, simplification
4. Abstraction, characters are simplified
5. Substitution of letters using gematria
6. Adding loops and small circles
Can the symbols be retranslated into the original text?
No, in most cases it is not possible, because the magical symbols of CHARAKTÊRES and related Ethiopian talismans do not work like a classical cipher or alphabet, where each symbol corresponds to a specific letter. The linguistic and grammatical trace of the original text is removed, but the exact rhythm and gematria are preserved with respect to the original text.
