I have created a a language to delete, to compact mental texts and graphics, to eliminate unwanted thoughts and make them personal hieroglyphics.
210 graphemes that don´t carry meaning by themselves.
One grapheme is not an "A" or a "B" but anything that we want: Ex. 3GB of philosophical texts, 20MB graphics or nothing.
The idea is to purge language with no-language, a maintenance-language.
To create a language to delete: Delete the language between humans or between machines, hard drives, the memories, the alphabetic convention, textual noise, the "junk" operating systems, the satellite data, the identity on-line, the identity-off-line,
the algorithmic remains on the hard drives that are not going with hammers, delete what is not possible to delete, a language invented to erase other languages, to compact mental texts and graphics, to eliminate thoughts and make them personal
hieroglyphics (Delete it your-self) (Code your-self)-encoding-effacement, a language of cleaning and maintenance.
To generate a new alphabet, combine it and say it thinking all the time in erasing what is being saying, the possibility of a language as black hole . Thinking and erase in one action that does not generate remains nor alphabets.
