How easy is it to create a cipher which is very hard to break?

[R. Sale]

So let's back up just a bit. If the proposed covert communications system involves a lot of filler text, and this means most of the text is meaningless fluff, then what is up with the *meaningful* text? How do we find it? What is to be done with it?  What system of interpretation should be applied to gain understanding, assuming that it is possible. 

Somewhere in this mass of filler there is a meaningful segment of text, at least that is the theory. How can such text be designated? By the use of markers. But all sorts of things might be used as markers. How can markers be recognized? By the company they keep. By two witnesses. By the direct connection that is drawn into the illustration of White Aries, where Stoflfi's marker is joined to the pattern of blue stripes. This is the hidden, intentionally disguised reason to have faith in these particular markers, because they are connected to tradition - to the red galero and the other examples of white and green hats in ecclesiastical heraldry and also confirmed through the apparent use of armorial designs, line patterns, and the use of heraldic canting.

The traditions that form the background of the VMs are so old and well more than half forgotten from the modern perspective. However they are familiar and immediate to the VMs creator. The familiarity was such that the artist chose to alter the appearance of the cosmos and to disguise heraldic insignia, but in some cases it is more a combined result of mediocre artistic talent on the modern loss of relevant tradition, rather than being something intentional. Modifications that might have seemed trivial to the creator have, over time, become almost unfathomable.

If we discover a segment of text, one that hopefully is not mere filler, now is the time to ask, what should be done to it? - what method of interpretation?
