[split] Volvelles or Disks

[eggyk]

Of course there are rules, otherwise it wouldn't be fun. As many of you assume, gallows are not letters, they are mode markers. They indicate which mode or how the Volvella operates. When you select a gallow, you restrict which glyphs are available.

But don't take my word for it. Do you have a Python terminal and the EVA transcript handy? If so, run the following code and see for yourself. Python is mechanical, deterministic, no AI haha!

Yes I understand that such a wheel can display how the characters have been chosen. But it doesn't show how they are chosen. 

In the video again:

the first qo word does the following: right 2, right 5, left 6, left 1. 

the second qo word (same ruleset): right 6, left 3, left 2, left 1. 

Why? What is the actual protocol for how the disk works beyond arbitrarily rotating the disk until you reach a match for the VMS word?
