Well, there's the problem plain and simple. I just don't see any correspondence between the VMs glyphs and the proposed alphabetic letter choices. It seems like too much of a forced fitting, but the "story" is amazing. Why stop there??
Is this another example of an ivory-tower theory imposed by the researcher(s)? Something handed to you ready-made.
On the other hand, there is the possibility of progress built on consensus. If it can be considered that marked and designated segments of circular text possess innate significance, then what should be done to investigate those possibilities?
Circular segments are clearly marked in many instances, in the zodiac, the rosettes, the wreath, even in the cosmos. Is there a reason that the marking patterns were employed? A simple dot or line would serve as a marker, but these are far more elaborate.
There is a collection of individuals in the ninja forum with knowledge and talents far beyond mine. Should investigators run off to their towers and hope to come back with a theory? Is it possible to build on individual contributions of what should be done, and why, and how? Conversation enables the proliferation of ideas.
