The evolution between scripts can be clearly seen. Studying scripts, you can pin-point where both Hebrew and Sanskrit broke away during the evolution.
In early 2001, I set out to create a script designed specifically to favor neither hand when being written. Amongst other trainings, it was one way to begin working on ambidexterity. By the Summer Solstice, I had adopted an early version of the script in the left-most column of this diagram.
I call this script the Abedic, as the Abeda are the adept apprentice level before the master level of Magi in the alchemy that I study. Seen here, in its isolated form, it is merely "interesting". Seen written in its fluid form, it becomes a new way to study the formation of symbolic language.
An example of the Abedic in writing can be found on my non-stock profile here: [link]
