Assuming that Issac's description of the writing being coded instructions (like a computer language) is true, we can stop attempting its translation
into English or finding its meaning in human terms, as its likely that the language is meant for machines.
I got some time to view the "linguistic analysis primer" today and in the spirit of good fun, I tried to find what these diagrams could mean.
Assuming that they are drawn by humans such as you and me, but a lot more smarter than us, its possible to at least guess some things out of them.
Note that I'm not claiming its authentic or something, its just a good time kill for me.
1- As I posted in the sticky thread on the top, the pages are directly out of a scanner. The scanner was set at 300 dpi for 8,5"x11,0" paper, which
is a standard size paper and which gives image size of 2550x3300 pixels. All pages have a width of 2550 and a height around 3000+.
2- The page 119 shows a part of "flow chart" with * marks leading to other parts. The numbers like 7128 etc show that there must be thousands of
such pages. The other four pages are blow-ups of different parts. This image shows where each one goes and the amount of zoom in %.
3- The punch holes do not match, which means these are printed on entirely separate pages with one side blank.
4-Note that although its called linguistic analysis, the figure descriptions sound more like describing mechanical parts, e.g. junctions, switches,
rotary members, linkages etc. So I figure out that these diagrams are symbolic representation of the hardware itself, with the various instructions
that go with various parts. I guess, it was the job of Issac to find what each instruction do to its part. Below images show my guesses at what those
diagram mean.
Each big part has smaller parts connected to it with "links" to form "unions". The big part has a "name" (the large symbols in the center) by
which other parts identify it. (Though I did not try to find whether these names occur in the instructions anywhere). Obviously, these parts are
connected via "anti-gravity", there are no physical links.(Or may be there are some when the part need to remain fixed and does not rotate etc)
The end parts are "nodes", that are connected to "junctions" of various types, sometimes via "switches" or "diffusers". The junctions can
rotate in many axes (DOFs). The switches perhaps select what parts to move.
So, suppose if you want to build a car using this technology, simply link the steering wheel with four wheels using anti-gravity(or whatever) and
write instructions on the wheels to follow the movements of steering wheel in some fashion. No need of any linkages, gears, bolts etc...
I could find some regularities (which also means that the diagrams are not completely random, and it took a great deal of time and effort to create
them, if its a hoax). For example the "+" character marks the beginning and the ends of an instruction and ":" puts some part of the instruction
in "blocks". So much like C++.
The curvy lines describe the motion of the parts and their weights indicate the "phases" or different stages of motion. I could not figure out what
those clock like markings around the circumference mean. Tried to count them but no use. The circles and straight lines have stop/start points. And
there is a hell lot more info encoded in these diagrams.
