I have wondered what the implications of the "s" "swish" you sometimes see on the bar of "qo" has. I've not found a link between "ch" "sh" and "qo" myself, but would be very interested in others knowledge or ideas on that.

1) Does your system work by specifying which classes of glyphs can immediately follow which other glyphs? So, all rules are like "X is always followed by i-type"
Yes (point 4 clarifies further detail)
2) Does the system always work in the forward direction along the line (so, all rules in the form "X is followed by Y" and never "Y should be prefixed by X")?
Yes. There is no "its ok if it didn't conform because the "y" before is magic".
3) Does your system only consider individual glyphs? So, all the rules are like "glyph of type X is followed by glyph of type Y" and never "a combination of glyphs AB is followed by a glyph of type Y".
It only checks pairs until you "switch", then it tracks what you switched from and to and if that sequence conforms.
You can have an extra switch (following a switch, only) which does nothing functional but is allowed, so technically it tracks up to 4 glyphs. 3 switches is considered a non-conformance, so it can never get past 4 and conform.
4) Is it possible to fully describe the rules of your system by using a square table where there is one column and one row for each glyph and the table is filled by Y and N denoting whether the column glyph can appear immediately after the row glyph?
I think so. I best think in pictures to be honest, I see it like a simple electronic circuit diagram.
Currently there are 4 groups.
3 can move to 1 other place, or stay and do another of them self (to a limit) then be forced to change or end.
1 can not do another of itself but move 2 ways, or end.
