My curiosity currently lies in the possibility of a written system that could be developed around Lojban that respects its logical nature. As far as I can tell in my rudimentary beginnings as a student of Lojban: The language is designed around phonetics in a similar way to Japanese. by that, I mean that the language uses predictable and consistent combinations of vowel and consonant phonetics in the structure of the constituent word-forms. Preposition: In written Lojban, what if you used a character system similar to Japanese hiragana and katakana: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katakana & http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiragana Japanese Katakana and Hiragana are based on characters which hail from ancient cultural influences, but what if you started fresh and designed characters around some kind of logical analysis of Lojbanic structure, syntax, logic, etc. such that the characters are themselves always internally consistent and logical? Pictorally speaking, you have many variables to draw upon: stroke length, angle, curvature, dots, rotation/orientation, etc. certainly as many variables as are needed to accurately represent the phonetics, syntax etc. of the language. In this way, entire gismu might have a chance of being reduced to single characters which LOOK and FLOW as logically as they behave.
