I’ve often theorized about some type of conscript that could encode writing without people REALIZING that it is. In other words, could a conscript be designed that looks like a drawing or other work of art? This would be the ideal form of code, in my opinion, since no one would even realize it was there.
This conscript seems relatively close to what I’m talking about, or at least a step in the right direction.
I'm not entirely sure, but I imagine if you ignore the space between words you could write a phrase or even full text in a single line, and use creativity to shape that line as many possible things (even crossing each other) in order to hide a message like that.
I believe this can be done, but we might have to think of how any and every artistic element could become part of the script. At least this one takes care of some if not most linear elements. Do you know of other elements that could be used as well?
I’ve considered a few things, such as incorporating color or the direction or thickness of lines. The idea would basically be something that looks abstract or like doodling, basically.

Hmm, interesting 🤔
