It might actually prove a great deal. :-o

Most plausible-sounding VMs theories fall to pieces when you actually try 
them out - so please don't be accidentally fooled by your own enthusiasm / 
rhetoric / pet theories, actually apply it and see what results you get.

For example, having (say) 24 glyphs and 24 cipherbets (one for each glyph) 
would be fairly unwieldy to use. Have you tried pairing up (by comparing 
the stats) sets of cipherbets in your predicted scheme? Have you looked for 
patterns between sets? Is there an underlying system connecting them all, 
or are they all arbitrarily/randomly ordered?

Cheers, .....Nick Pelling.....
