No text, but a visual code

The scribe makes the adjustment in such a way that the glyph block maintains the rigid structure that governs the formation of the blocks, the so-called script grammar. He removes and adds glyphs at will without being guided by a coherence of meaning in terms of language. This is what some of us know as playing Lego by putting and removing pieces.

I'm not sure I understand the problem. Fitting text within picture elements is quite common, especially in decorative works. Any particular character forms used can be explained as glyph variations. E.g., instead of writing "cuſ.<->tom" with a mid-word s, the scribe would write "cus.<->tom" with a word final s.
