No text, but a visual code

[Antonio García Jiménez]

Forget the semantics of the glyphs, If they represent letters, phonemes, symbols or whatever. Let's focus on the pure materiality of the glyphs. Why does the scribe use the glyph that looks like the letter c so repeatedly?

We see c, cc, ccc and even cccc. How weird! If each group of c's has a different meaning, why didn't the scribe use other strokes? But what makes sense is that the c and each group of c's have the same meaning for the scribe. Actually, there is only one c that moves. cc, ccc and cccc would be just different positions.

This is the best way to see the script generation method. As has been said so many times, these are overlapping disks that contain all the glyphs. These circles are moved to compose the words or groups of glyphs. The c is on one of the disks and when it moves the scribe adds another c
