Register or Login to view.if you encoded a paragraph with the beginning and ending coordinates of a shape inside a monogram, the frequency distribution of each coordinate pair and its location within words, would match the distribution and location of the letters it encodes in whatever language it is.
In other words, a b c and 101-102, 54-32, 21-10 will be the same in how they will be distributed within a paragraph regardless of how you write them (letters, numbers, coordinates, unique symbols), and that gives it away. It's still a substitution cipher.
I can see that. I suppose it would fare a bit better if there were more than one way to trace a lot of the more common letters. But with any diagram, there is a limited number of ways to find and trace each letter.
