Lament from the Sea, New Method! f2r

[-JKP-]

Stellar, what if the gallows characters (and perhaps other characters like EVA-j) turn out to be ligatures (to represent more than one letter). Then the entire system has to be reworked with a new set of numbers and yet I'm willing to bet you'll come up with the same kinds of solutions, the same basic sorts of words, because YOU are choosing words that YOU think might impose some sense on the text.

Can you see why the subjective part of your method is a problem? the part where you decide what you think it might be and cherry-pick words to create meaning?
