Speculations. The VMS glyphs might represent numbers similar to how the Hebrew glyphs do, and perhaps even the same numbers. Thus, each glyph would correspond to a number. Imagine a sequence of glyphs (numbers) as follows:  2 + 60 + 5 + 20 + 10 + 3. These numbers add up to 100, and 1 + 0 + 0 add up to 1, Aleph, or be it, the Latin letter "a". And that's how a large number of VMS glyphs can reduce into a smaller number of Latin letters. I'm not making this up. It was standard cabala procedure incorporated into their Gematria.

The gematria angle has been explored countless of times by many different researchers (including me).

I was aware of kabbalah before I knew about the VMS so, of course, it was one of the first things I tried.

Reducing "a large number of VMS glyphs... into a smaller number of Latin letters" is not going to result in anything very intelligible because the VMS glyph-count is already somewhat restrained. Read some of the threads on entropy.


I haven't excluded the possibility of some kind of numeric system, I think it's possible, but I don't think it's based on gematria specifically. Not only is gematria not an "encryption" system (it's intended to find correspondences between "special" words, not for enciphering blocks of text), but it's impractical to read back if it is applied to every word (it leans dangerously toward one-way cipher territory).
