Pasigraphy

The design of a universally readable script intended to record meanings as independently as possible from individual spoken languages.

Explanation

The design of a universally readable script intended to record meanings as independently as possible from individual spoken languages. It seeks communication through shared signs while revealing how difficult it is to detach meaning from grammar, culture, and use.

Example

A system uses internationally agreed symbols for actions and relations.

Counterexample

Merely mentioning “Pasigraphy” without the described function is not a sufficient example.

Distinction

Pasigraphy is a project of universal readability; not every pictographic system makes this comprehensive claim.

Effect on thought and perception

It seeks communication through shared signs while revealing how difficult it is to detach meaning from grammar, culture, and use.

Resonance

In the atlas, Pasigraphy closes 1 previously unresolved reference line(s) and opens controlled paths of thought.

Etymology

Technical core term; individual etymological review pending

Provenance

ATLAS 241 residual-case triage → profile candidate 241-B → source and neighbourhood cross-check → ATLAS 243
