VMs visual code makes use of attributes. Like Zeus and his thunderbolt, various mythical, literary, and historical characters have their particular attributes. The recent reference to the investigation of the cosmic spindle shows how the proper identification of the attribute leads to the correct identification of the character.
The progress of the original investigation shows that finding the proper identification of the "thingy" was not immediate or obvious. The interpretation of VMs illustrations, which should be a process of *recognition*, has become a process of discovery. Fortunately, there have been some interesting discoveries that are relevant to VMs dating.
The use of attributes is an example of a visual code. Heraldry is included in the examples of attributes. Heraldry was a medieval science, and it was not an occult science, which served to minimize interpretive variations. Heraldry is also connected to history. Red hats and blue stripes are attributes that combine to make reference to specific historical events. Recognition of the attributes opens the gateway to investigation and identification. It's a visual code.
