Imagine a language made up of characters each of which represents a three words long group (there may be a short list of two word groups - analogous to vowels). Each of the groups is characterized by a symbol, upon which pictoral translations are made - rotations, reflections, strange attractors. Each character is roughly a square or a disk.

Only one type of rotation matters - pi over two rotations about horizontal and vertical centroid axes. The markings will be such on each "letter" or square or disk plate that the type of rotation will be made, and the resultant figure for each of the rotations about each of the axes of each of the elements in our highly numerous alphabet, will be such that each possible combination is distinct.

Polyhedra will dawn a new day eventually.

For now, our new powerful tool would be obfuscation. As nature teaches us, obfuscation is fuel for the cranium, if we allow discipline. But, an algebraic structure that proses our thoughts would be a dancing and advancing thing. If we could turn them into a million paper cranes...

I want to build a railway made of long lasting light weight bicycles that can fly - the gossamer condor commuter's brigade. Rain or shine or snowy day - the rope tow cable. An emergency compressed hydrogen wing - the subwoofer sized battery pack can be supplemented by a lightweight hardworking passenger, though the heavier you are, the less far you can go. Imagine a set of tall poles - like power lines, with non-conductive high test tethers, so many feet long, and a failsafe system and rules of the sky road that ensure the safety of all the sky-scooter commuters. You just need to get to the town you're trying to get to, and trade in your cellophane airframe for a couple of bicycle wheels. Clearly you'd rather work on the outskirts of town unless you had an excellently tuned body.

If the propellers were made of aluminum and glass, and the plastics recycled from modern use, and the tires were whatever tires used to be, and the battery could be a carrying case for your work day, considering we could just use a juice box for the odds and ends of technology we charge into all day. Maybe they'll knock two-bits off the burger if we charge our own teleprompt order and print our own receipt.

I think the new plate language could carry the alphabet in eight symbols of symmetry. A simple printer could flip the plates and use as much as a watch battery or three. I'd vote for making the ink and paper edible too. The goatmilk gets cheaper that way.
