Oh for sure, Koen. The rigidity of glyph placement, and even the use of a novel glyph set, are not explained by this idea. What I set out to account for is mostly the weak-to-nonexistent word order, which remains a glaring problem even to anyone who makes sense of the odd glyph placement and word structure. Even the best anatomy-of-a-vord researchers (Tiltman, Reed, Stolfi, Smith, Ponzi, Fisk) express unease and chagrin in their writing about how their "grammar" systems don't touch the problem of vord order being rather nonexistent.
Perhaps fallaciously, I'm approaching glyph order and word order as two separate hard-to-account-for problems. Because honestly, I cannot conceive of a single solution that could possibly explain both, which is compatible with a meaningful text. In my imagination, the writer used one algorithm to change words to vords, and another algorithm entirely (syntax and grammar simplification, as in notebooks) to render lines of vords.
