An alphabetic cipher

This seems like a worthwhile approach to me. 

As I see it, the whole problem with the text is that at the higher levels we see characteristics consistent with a natural language, but at the lower levels everything seems mechanical and artificial (triple glyphs and so on.)

One explanation would be that the natural characteristics are accidents of some mechanical process of generation. But it is more likely, in the first instance, that a natural language has been scrambled at the lower levels creating the appearance of mechanical generation. 

The assumption of simplicity is appealing. The wallchart is great! 

Simplicity is what inclines me to pursue underlying 'paradigms' or models as a similar approach but without the other assumptions. Rather than extending the number of slots in the model (to 12) I was led to a dual paradigm system. It could also come with simple instructions: "Mix these together."
