No text, but a visual code

[R. Sale]

In a mathematical series, those 'letters' could represent terms like "billions" and "trillions". But if the values normally used never exceed a million, then the symbols are never seen in use, although they exist in the sequence. Or perhaps they are just filler for a fill in the blank quiz.

Seems like it has been a while since any discussion of what has been called the 'four by seventeen' (4x17) symbol sequence, although they are not entirely identical. The difficulty is in the interpretation of the individual symbols or glyphs. Some of the VMs glyphs potentially correspond to symbols found in other alphabetic or numeric systems.

The fifth symbol in the VMs sequence is EVA 'v'. The actual VMs glyph has the form of an *inverted* 'v'. Potential interpretations include 'lambda' in Greek. The medieval numeral '7' as seen on Typus Arithmetica. And as the inverted Roman numeral "V' - or five in the fifth place. Just like lambda is correctly spaced to 'omega', EVA 'o', in the first VMs position. Just like the numeral seven is properly placed from the medieval numeral '4', EVA 'l', in the second VMs position. Each system of interpretation is supported by an independent, positional confirmation.

There are three systems of interpretation running on the same set of symbols: Roman numerals, medieval numerals, and the Greek alphabet, which is alphanumeric.

How does it work??!!
