[lojban] Dscript + Lojban ???

[vasten <vastencn@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

I have a conscript project, a rather large one. So far it
 has stayed completely alphabetical and adaptable to any alphabet or 
language. It has developed enough that I am musing paring it up with a lang(con or nat) and developing a more advanced version, tailored for application. I'll spare you the history/backstory, started as binary represenation, evolved as I learned Chinese, blah blah...

I am very drawn to lojban, being a programmer, and am considering investing the time to learn, and hopefully talior a Dscript version for it.

Dscript,
 dimensional script as I call it, started as a "directional script"( 
could be written both vertically and horizontally in cursive with a 
single design ). Dimensionality come up when these "letter strings" are 
allowed to fork and letters be placed inside of letters.

The 
"letter strings" can be curled up and contorted to taste, providing more
 flexibility and options than traditional scripts. A user can often even
 achieve a "logo graphic" version that is still legible alphabetical 
text, this is mostly just a product of there being so much selection in 
word forms that something will likely fit. one could call it 
"alphabetical glyphs" I suppose.

There are also number systems, base 10/16, 12, 32, and my fav
 base 100. There is even a chemistry notation system that basically 
sacrifices stereo chemistry in order to allow fundamental structure to 
be drawn much "simpler" with less "noise". poor for precision, excellent
 for large bio-chem stuff.

The "Dscript hole" just seem to keep going, I just seem to keep digging myself a deeper hole.

Anyways, my point is do you guys think Dscript would pair up well with lojban? Do there appear to be any natural synergies or development paths?

I have attached an example text and the word "lojban" in Dscript, I just used English version Dscript to write the lojban.
You would probably want to revamp the alphabet based on common letter combos of lojban, here is a mini quick start guide to re-index the alphabet

There are also some sample of various Dscript elements attached.

key question: anyone interested in discussing applying Dscript to Lojban?

I love feedback, and am willing to help apply Dscript, I just love seeing it used :)

Kindest regards,

Matthew DeBlock
