No text, but a visual code

What we see are hundreds of female figures. There are no male figures, even though it may seem like there are some.

Why would it seem like there are some, if there are none? 





Wouldn't these require explanation or at least somehow provide further information by not conforming?

For me it has a clear explanation: they represent the fixed stars. And for any speaker of a language derived from Latin it is easier to see this than for a speaker whose mother tongue is English because this language lacks grammatical gender.

Here in Spain I once entered a restaurant that distinguished the men's and women's toilets with a Sun and Moon painted on the door. A speaker of a Latin language would have no problem, but an English speaker would be puzzled not knowing what his/her toilet is.

Although it seems like a minor problem, it is not considering that this forum is developed in English and almost all of the VM's research has been done in this language.

I know the phrase 'le soleil et la lune', and 'une' vs 'un', so I understand what you are saying, but why, if substituting figures for stars, would they need to match the gender for the word of the object they are to represent? It doesn't distinguish them from representing any other female gendered object, like forks, or tables. It is not helping to identify them in that regard, so why would it be a factor at all? Does this mean you think the language of the makers is derived from Latin? (I know you don't think the writing itself has meaning as a language).

If it is a tenet of your theory that all the figures are female because they represent stars, and that is because stars are female gendered, then I can accept it in that context, but it seems more like a construct than an observation.
