A Cipher Thought Experiment
#1
Hi, folks.
I just created an account here, so I don't know if anyone has done something similar to this before (also, let me know if this is the appropriate place to put this post). I just did a little experiment to create a cipher with only 13 glyphs and restrictive positional variation. I intend this as a fun exercise to see what kind of cipher I would come up with given these restrictions. I am including the cipher text in this post with no indication of how the cipher works, the language it is written in, or what the text itself says. I will tell you what languages I know: English (naturally), Latin, Ancient Greek, and Ancient Egyptian. Apologies if there are any errors. I tried my best to make it as clean as possible. Note that | indicates a line break. It isn't intended as a glyph. The glyphs used are G, K, L, M, N, O, P, R, S, T, /, +, and 4.

I will come back with the solution in a few days if no one solves it. I won't indicate if someone is on the right track. But if someone is able to crack it, I'll respond. I hope someone solves it! Big Grin
