And QR code would change that?

Why encode an already working alphabet behind another layer of rules which have nothing to do with linguistics?

I don't want QR code in LT or as a future of our written language, it's far too ugly. It was just an example of existing and perhaps futurist written language that don't respect "standard" shapes.
It's a natural evolution to adapt our usage : computers that communicates with computers, and (modified) human as a end point.

What will be the usage in year 3000? I really think hand written will disapear, people will not "write down a sentence" any more.

"Why encode an already working alphabet behind another layer of rules which have nothing to do with linguistics?"
Why QR codes ?
Why ASCII , hexadecimal or binary ?
Why .epub, .txt, .doc ?
Why Braille ?
...
It's not linguistic, it's adaptation to usages.
An ebook is not any more stored as an alphabet but as a computer file format. It's just displayed to the end user as an alphabet.

it's stored as 1's and 0's , but I don't see how this would be relevant, if anything it's the alphabet that's more complex/advanced here.
Just examples in reaction to that : "Why encode an already working alphabet behind another layer of rules which have nothing to do with linguistics?"

Because a computer can't save text directly. You're talking about text meant for direct human use.

those layers have nothing to do with the representation.

but you hide a working language behind another coded representation that you have to decode and THEN read the underlying language.

and that overlaid representation has nothing to do with the actual language.

Actually it's stored as electrical states. :mrgreen:
... well yeah obviously (and not correct for hard-drives, they're magnetic), but the 1's and 0's are just representations for the charge :P

It's simple stuff, really... I wrote a program that would produce a language from any number of user-input words. It was originally for my own benefit, but I later modified it for Dwarf Fortress... I have another version of my own that's a lot more complex.
Wouldn't you want to distribute the basic algorithm or any of the implementations mentioned? I am REALLY interested in seeing what's it able to do.

Please please please :ghost: .

Please!
May luck be by your side for the matters not under your responsability.

Actually, here. From the kickstarter:
Space can be cold, dark, and lifeless. But not here. Here, in the many universes of Limit Theory, space is luminous, vibrant, and rich with opportunity. Step into an open-world, sandbox universe in which you can explore, trade, pirate, mine, escort, hunt, defend, build, and more.
