The "i" used here does not mean that the character "i" actually appears in the original text; it is a symbol employed for convenience to represent a character with a slanted, diagonal shape.
VAM is not intended to extract individual characters from the manuscript.
My goal is not to identify the characters or decipher the text as a language. Instead, I want to explore what kind of system the manuscript's text represents, and what it may have been designed to model.
In other words, I am not asking, “What do these characters say?” but rather, “What is being modeled here?”
