Could it be that this represents a system for generating music?

That is not the case.

My interpretation of the image is based on the premise that it is not necessary to be able to decipher the text. Explaining the reasoning behind this here would likely not be understood.

As a hint: in this era, important matters were sometimes passed down through oral tradition. I am operating on the assumption that the text presented here was explained directly via such oral transmission.

I have begun to explain my interpretation of the image, but since it seems that many of you are finding the very first step confusing, I intend to provide an explanation that allows for a gradual, step-by-step understanding.

With all due respect, you aren't explaining anything. To come here and patronise the entire forum by assuming we need "hints" to follow what you might say is amusing. So I suspect your aversion to talking about your ideas is not because we would not understand. It is because you don't have anything of substance to say.

If you want to talk about the plants and roots and what they might represent, that's great. But this 'all-knowing, hint-giving' act isn't going to get you far if you are genuine.
