description:
decoding is important to linguists, archeologists, astronomers and militarist specialists. today's world finds itself in the middle of an ocean of ambassadors whose decoding is always a challenge of logic and combination. with that, the problem is not whether the creator of the message has enough inner logic at his disposal; the problem is much more whether the message itself possesses enough necessary inner logic, which automatically recreates its context when an intelligence of a high enough degree is linked to it. these plates are beyond this decoding, their inner logic is too imperfect. therefore, it depends more on the feeling that actual information is inherent to it. the solving/disclosure remains open, similar to texts written in unknown alphabets. as soon as the logic of a language/writing clarifies, it loses imagination and bonds itself to a own dimensional statement. these plates re-combine themselves out of bar codes and remain thereby legible only in abstract means. see also prototypes.
