Asemic writing is something I\u2019ve done since I was a kid. As I go, I figure out the visual grammar of the writing, then sometimes some grammar for what characters can go together. It\u2019s entirely intuitive, though I correct as I go for aesthetic reasons, often integrating \u201ccorrections\u201d into further use of the character I corrected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This one contains three different languages \u2014 maybe four, but one might just be an alternate script. It\u2019s obviously not a full Rosetta Stone because the number of characters varies so widely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At a certain point, I started requiring myself to make actual grammar for these languages. Each of the little samples in the back of Human Contact took at least several hours, and there\u2019s an error in one of them that drives me nuts. But I\u2019m trying to remember to creative freely sometimes, to ignore what I\u2019ve learned and stretch my intuition. This is one of those times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to my Patreon<\/a> xenophiliacs who encouraged me to take it easy this month. I really needed it. I\u2019ve been pushing myself to solve several big creative problems with getting Eyes Wide to the Stars to work so I can explore some ideas for Shock:2 and further work on Liberation Technology and pushing harder isn\u2019t making me think clearly.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Modular systems are a function of industrial society. But do people of The Fifth World still know how to agree to standards? With their acute interest in efficiency, I think they might have carried that lesson forward!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
