it seems to be in chunks of 9 digits, which tells me... nothing actually.
I'm not very knowledgeable about binary,

000000000 is 0
000000001 is 1
000000010 is 2
000000011 is 4
[...]
111111111 is 512
But that doesn't really give us a lot linguistically, does it?

The first character in the book is 101000111, or depending on whether the characters are organized could be 101001101 or 111000101.

Numerically those values are 327, 303, and 453 respectively, but I don't quite know what to do with that.

If you guys read through the /x/ threads you'll find we plotted out the different symbols on a 9 figure grid each and found there to be similarities.

I don't think it's a mathematical code. We have posited the suggestion it is a dual-alphabet cypher, a theory which is given some credence when you look at the split between 3 and 5 link symbols and the diffusion of the latter across the last page.

German, but we need to at least get characters into a format that can be deciphered before we start looking at languages. The Hebrew angle is interesting, though, as we've run into vowel problems when running it through decrypting programs, might be worth looking into.

Some things to note.

The symbols appear to be composed of arrangements of 8 rings in a 2x3 ring formation (2 additional rings being woven in the center).

The spacing between blocks supports this.

When two words appear on the same line, the space between is made very apparent, as in lines 2 and 5 of II.

The text isn't fixed width, as can be seen on the last line of III.

All symbols have 3 or 5 rings.

There are more than 26 glyphs

It is not clear if numbers or punctuation are among the glyphs.

There also appears to be a great deal of symmetry in the glyphs. (Not that this is unusual, ie pqbd).

>>8097694
If some characters are two-wide rather than three-wide, any of the three-wide characters with an empty middle may in fact be a pair of adjacent one-wide characters. Just a thought. Great work.

Why is everyone saying that each character is a grid of 9 digits? There's only 8 positions, see pic related, as every character will fit inside that.

>>8099247
I would agree that it was 3x3 if there were a "middle" position on the far left side, but as it stands it just looks like a block of 8 bits to me.
Red, Orange, Green, Blue, Light, Dark, Purple, Grey.

So, for instance translating off the first page from >>8097644, we get:
>line one
11001011 10101000 10101101 11101100 11100101

you spend too much time on /x/
As far as we know, it was just an art project.
However, I do think it would be super interesting if the symbols did carry some meaning, but evidently all the brainlets on both of the boards are too retarded to actually find it.
Even if it did, it's probably nothing more than OP's gramp's favorite lines of scripture, or if OP's gramp was a CS or Mathematician, maybe it's a collection of proofs.
Who fucking knows.
In any case, if nobody's able to figure anything out, I'd like to adopt what

>>8099247

>>8099261
>Oh shit, there's not a single character that has a middle position in the left column.

Excatly, and I'm in the middle of gridding out the first page to support my original transliteration, but I've run into a snag on line 4.

As you can see, it initially matches matches up with the structure of line 2, being indented, but the second and third characters are giving me trouble.
If we go with the orange "space", it assumes the existence of characters whose entire first 3 digits can be 0 (first column its adjacent middle to the right), and that not only that, but that they aren't kerned to fit the page, which is in opposition to the second character on the first line (unless it's a special character that only has 2 columns)

If we take the orange space to preserve spacing, we get
00010011 00011010

The purple spaces, however, turns the third character into a two column character, but also gives us the problem of two extra "space" columns between the first and second characters.

Taking the purple space to preserve the rule that every other character thus far has had a 1 in the first column (and presumably in the first middle), gives us the values
10011000 11010(000)

I'm going to tentatively propose that the last column (and the middle before it) are omitted if they're all 0's, and that there must ALWAYS be a 1 within the first 2(3?) digits.

However, this does not resolve the issue of those extra spaces, so it may be that the first column need not necessarily have a 1, and that the last column can be omitted.

>>8099284
I was under the assumption that a character's binary value was assigned left to right top to bottom.

012
345
678

You don't run into any of the problems you suggested.

>>8099291
Or, well I guess

0-1-2
-3-4-
5-6-7

assuming that your 8 digit assumption is correct.

>>8099291
>>8099294
True, but apply that to the second character on the first row;
If we encode it your way, and assume that it's the same structure as all other characters, we get 10010010
But the second middle is touching the space, and rather than just omitting the entire right column, we're omitting the end of the first row, the end of the second row (second middle), and the end of the third row. I think it's simpler to assume it's written:
1 - 4 - 7
- 3 - 6 -
2 - 5 - 8

Than it is to assume it's written:
1 - 2 - 3
- 4 - 5 -
6 - 7 - 8

As in the shown case, we'd be omitting bits 7, 6, and 8, rather than bits 3, 5, and 8.

>>8099302
I know it's a remote possibility, but still worth mentioning: this could have simply been an error by the maker.

I'd be interested to know if that type of spacing problem appears on any other pages.

>>8099379
If no one else has by the time I get back, I'll plot out the other pages and see if there are any other anomalies.

As of now, however, I'm edging towards the "orange" option, where the first three bits can be 0's, along with the option for the last bits to be omitted if they're 0's, unless line2char1 is a special case.

>>8099302
Oh, and also, it could also be that it's written
1 - 4 - 7
- 2 - 5 -
3 - 6 - 8

But the first option is far more regular, as opposed to this one.

OP, I'm asking this in both threads, is your granddad Albanian?

>>8099267
Something tells me this thing may not have vowels, like how Hebrew omits vowels. Also that name is fucking gay (insult pending).

>>8100046
I have no idea about any of it.
Also, I didn't make it, and I'm pretty sure the (name pending) means you're free to suggest something else.

And this is not just a case of "squint til you see english" exactly why?

So my issue is in recording the different letters using our agreed upon idea of our letter grids, there are more than 30 letters, so either not english, we are wrong, or they are doing something stupid like using single characters for diagraphs like one letter for "ph".
That being said, what do you guys think?

>>8103634
I say the visualisation is correct, but the interpretation is still wrong.

we would need more info on OPs grandpa if we wanna actually solve this riddle

>>8103634
To be precise, there are 36 unique characters.
That's 26+10, so it very well could be alphanumeric, rather than just alphabetical.
It's most likely a direct substitution, there are characters that repeat, and character sequences that repeat (see >>8100242)
It could also be an Albanian substitution, but OP said his gramps had no albanian connection, so there's that.
Still worth looking into IMO if anyone knows albanian.

>>8103129
I'd look at letter frequency too, the most common letters in English are A and E , I'd suggest that I-4 is A

>>8103657
A isn't even close to the most common letter used in English.

Considering how recently it must have been made (judging by the technique and the wear of the book) and the probable context in which the book was made English makes some sense. However thank you for the suggestion, however I have already checked out some of the German and Latin direct substitution ciphers, and nothing significant yet.
I also don't speak German or Latin so it becomes a challenge of language more than anything.

>>8103688
Im native german, we have different articles for different genders

the cat = DIE KATZE (f)
the dog = DER HUND (m)

"DER" for male, "DIE" for female, "DAS" for neutral are possible articles in our language, so I'd keep an eye out for them as well...

>>8103676
General consent that it's in English came from the fact that OP (not necessarily this one, but the first) is a lying fuck and made it himself. Nice try though.

>>8103704
but you have too many declinations, writing a simple sentence would take the whole book.

>>8103725
Latin is also a good possibility. The book is made of chainmail, which suggests OP's grandfather might have gone for an archaic language. In Latin, I'm pretty sure E is still the most common letter, so line two of page one could be "ET" meaning "AND".

My Latin is a bit rusty, but I'll see what I can do with that.

To recap:
35 different symbols.

Most likely numbers and the most common parts of the english alphabet, if we try to keep things very simple and assume occam might not be a complete retard.

We can almost exclude Q and Z, and I wanna say X, but for the shape of some of the letters.

I think numbers are similar, for instance by always having a single dot in the lower corner as a counter.

It's also possible that there is punctuation, although it looks like spacing has been made to remove that need.

According to this transcription into hexadecimal based on this post >>8100242 that looks something like this, divided into pages.

On page 2 there is a single "S", I will assume this is an "i" because that's the only letter that usually stands alone, and because it's a common vowel.

Assuming that "QRF" on page 3 is actually "the", the translitteration looks like this at the current stage, where capitals and numbers are unchanged, and lowercase are substituted:

5es -> yes, but that contributes nothing.


Following the logic that 35 symbols map to English requires this short paragraph to contain nine digits. Is that a reasonable expectation? Not at all.

I'm trying different iterations now. It's much easier with the letter replace function in notepad than doing it visually.

>>8105179
I tried to map CSGFJQRF to "filename" but that didn't work either.

I tried maping "ABCDE" to "ultra" but that's still a dead end afaics.

Can we at least all agree that the final name of the language should be "Okeradatabe (name pending)"?

Idk, first time posting on either sci or x, but: if the guy was german why do you try english words? Germans were notoriously bad at english just ten years ago. Seeing as it was someones popop and not a youngling i dont know why you're even considering it

>>8105228
The flavor text doesn't really matter, man. It's obviously either a cryptoquip or some visual sub, its most likely not an actual code.

Besides, none of the quipsolvers Ive tried have worked.

>>8105196
No. Mailian.

>>8105238
People trying automated solvers should note that most only work with 26 symbols, and this "cipher" has 35. It's silly to feed a problem into a solver of an entirely different problem and expect anything but no result. Further, spacing is not fully known, only assumed.

For some reason, despite the 35 symbols, I decided to do better than >>8105127 by improving his method.

>improving his method.
I'm really grateful, thanks!

I also think this is stupid, but the hex code made ten times more sense than using FUCKING SYMBOLS, so I felt I had to "correct the slanted picture frame" in this burned down house of wasted time.

I hate this book.

The whole "new language" thing makes about as much sense as believing that an old as balls handmade chain mail would be made out of stainless. Which it has to have been, since we've not heard anything to the effect of "I cleaned it up".

The flavor text is, I believe, a red herring to make you pursue the dead ends that are german and albanian and whatnot. The book looks brand new, and the pictures are taken professionally, so there's no reason to assume it's not just some dank meme wizard writing something to the effect of "I spent over 9000 hours crafting this, so please dont tell everyone this is what the book reads"

>>8106028
a-are you calling me a shill?

>>8106087
> Be sure to drink your Ovaltine.

>>8106092
I can show you the process I used to get the "flavor text" as you call it.
I started by taking every word, and writing it out as say "12345" if it were a 5 character word. 1234 if it had 4 characters, etc.
Then, I started at the beginning of the book at the first character and called it "A," and replaced the first "1"2345 with "A"2345
Then, I went through the rest of the book, and put an A in the positions where that character appeared again.
I repeated this process until I ran out of characters in the book.
It's possible I made a mistake, but I spent awhile double checking.

>>8106103
No, sweetie, the flavor text is this:
>grandfather bla bla germany bla bla
>found in attic bla bla albanian bla bla
>was in the war bla bla

You made a translitteration, and despite it being better if you did it with numbers instead of symbols, you did a good job.

>put random gold chunks among black chunks

>>8106107
Oh.
Well, I just got the Albanian thing 'cause more alphabetical characters, I was curious if maybe that's why we were having so much difficulty.
As for the rest, I can't make a claim towards its validity.

>>8106028
>the pictures are taken professionally,
OP said he just used a piece of posterboard as a backdrop. You'd be surprised how good a picture turns out when you don't use a shitty phone camera too.

>>8106112
>random gold chunks among black chunks
The text has definite frequency patterns that make it almost certainly say something in English. The Frequency of the
1 0 0
0 0 1
0 1 0
character and the letter 'e' in English are both ~15%. The most common English trigram 'the' ends with 'e', and the most common trigram in the text ends with the
1 0 0
0 0 1
0 1 0
character too.

If the arrangement is really random then a lot of effort was taken to ensure it resembled English to the point where the author may as well have just written actual content.

>>8106309
>m-muh frequency

If you'd figured out 'the', you'd have figured out more of it by now. Except there's nothing to figure out, you've projected a language pattern onto novelty symbols.

>>8106391
So you think the author peppered in symbols with a similar frequency to English just to fuck with you?

The cover is an unusual chain pattern. I can't tell for sure what metals are used, probably chrome or stainless for the cover (too shiny for aluminum), with iron and brass for the pages.

Middle pages are clearly butted mail, so this was someone's personal autism project.

I think you probably found the perfect place to post this, /sci/ has a lot of collective autism. The only way to decode autism is with more autism.
