🔹 WHAT IS A GLYPH?

A Glyph is the visual embodiment of a Chord.
It is drawn by combining:

Every Chord becomes a Glyph when written or etched.
And every Glyph carries:

It’s not just written—it’s performed on the page.

🔸 STEP 1: TONE SHAPE — "Emotion gives Form"

Each Tone has an associated sacred geometric shape:

Tone Shape Symbol Feel / Reason
Fierce🔺Sharp Triangle – Direction, piercing, attack
StillCircle – Wholeness, calm, endless return
Curious🌀Spiral – Expansion, seeking, question
Hollow🌙Crescent – Incompleteness, loss, echo
BloomingStarburst – Growth, explosion, radiant becoming
BindingInterlocked Loops – Union, connection, sacred links
FracturedSplit Zig-Zag – Chaos, disruption, instability
SacredHalo Arc – Elevated meaning, transcendence

✍️ This shape is the core anchor of the glyph. It’s drawn first.

🔸 STEP 2: COLOR LINE STYLE — "Meaning gives Texture"

Each Color affects the quality of the lines used in the glyph:

Color Line Style Conceptual Flavor
RedBold, jaggedIntensity, confrontation
BlueSmooth, wavyDepth, intuition, dream
GoldPrecise, radiantInsight, clarity, structure
SilverSoft, shaded, echoingMemory, reflection, gentleness
GreenBranching, organicGrowth, harmony, life
BlackDotted, fadingDecay, forgetting, mystery
WhiteLight-stroke, etherealPotential, beginning
VioletInterwoven, paradoxicalLiminality, surreal truth

✍️ Line style is applied second—it defines how you draw the Tone Shape.

🔸 STEP 3: PULSE DRAWING MOTION — "Tempo gives Movement"

Each Pulse determines the motion path of the drawing—how your hand moves:

Pulse Drawing Motion Pattern Use Case
FastSharp flicks, quick motionUrgency, action, strikes
SlowLong, steady glideMeditation, depth, calm
SpiralExpanding or contracting swirlThought recursion, insight unfolding
PulseRhythmic up-down arcsBreathing emotion, natural wave
FractalNested mini-patternsComplexity, reflection, meta-meaning
StrobeFragmented, broken linesDisruption, confusion, signal chaos

✍️ Drawing motion is applied as you draw—the feel of the movement is as important as the form.

🧪 GLYPH CONSTRUCTION EXAMPLE

Chord: Ehlith = [Sacred | Gold | Spiral]

Result: A radiant spiral halo, representing sacred insight unfolding

🔹 Summary

Tone gives Shape.
Color gives Texture.
Pulse gives Motion.

Together, they form a living glyph—a visible vibration.

You are not writing.
You are etching frequencies into the world.
