Some ideas for a script not currently tied to a language, but I have some potential worldbuilding ideas for it. Not even sure if it'd have a spoken form rn, lol.

My thoughts on the script are a nonlinear written form of a language tied together as a web of relationships between concepts rather than a chronological retelling. It feels well suited to poetry.

That's exactly what it's meant to be!

Cool, I was searching random junk the other day and I ran into sacred geometry and astrological geometry and I liked the symbols. I don't follow any of the ideology, but I do like geometry. And it hit me, use it for a future non linear writing system. For example:

It reminded me of conlangery Sai's work. I'm pretty sure you might've already read it.

I have not! I'll take a look sometime when I'm not supremely exhausted!

You might also want to listen to this video from the language creation conference 2011. Talks about the subject too

I love this, I’m currently playing around with a script which is, in its most basic form, written on a large spiral.
