Circle Circle Dot Dot: the science of decyphering Logos

 

Decyphering Logos in the Tabula Rasa Benefactor Language Research Project must be like other pictographic, language-analysis, and cryptographic research. You try to find patterns in the language, in the message, that tend to repeat, and (in hieroglyphic or pictographic research) see what that repeated pattern means in the context of the message.

Take this one. The TR BLRP ran into “Far” some time before, and now they come into “Coming.” They note that both share the same core Logos, one which (from now) is associated with the concept of spatial distance. They think that the horizontal line in the symbol represents distance (which makes the diagonals lines of perspective?).

• “Coming” has it simple: the arrow which points down indicates progress that is changing the spatial distance, in this case, closing the gap.
• Now as for the previously-found “Far”, they believe that the difference between the Circle used in “Far” and the Disc used in the similar “There” Logos is that they stress “scale.” “A Disc is a lesser, more personal, scale than the Circle, thus the There (Disc)/Far (Circle) construction.”

Richard Garriott, your penchant for amateur archeology is really becoming obvious with this Logos Project. Well, we got our cootie shot…
