I'm glad you asked. This graphic element is in the shape of the
Fibonacci ratio, phi, or golden rectangle, symbolizing consistency in
rules, and modular expansion. It's asymmetrical in every direction,
symbolizing unique decomposition and parsing. The dots symbolize the
five default fill-in-the-blanks in a simple Lojban sentence. The arms
embrace them into a relationship. Inside the mind is the thought of
that relationship, so the head is between the first and second blanks,
just like the relationship word or phrase in a Lojban sentence. The
whole top section represents precise syntax. It is extended downward
to become a human form. This anthropomorphic figure personalizes the
ideogram and symbolizes: Cultural neutrality, algorithmically derived
from six of the largest languages of our species. Root word choices
derived from anthropomorphic concerns. Attitudinals, which can be
combined modularly into one of the most thorough catalogs of the human
heart offered by any language.
