[scamycnr] Writing is set in stone

Let the writing system do text compression and error detection.

Frequently used letters should take less space.

If two words differ by one letter, then those two letters ought not look too similar. Or more generally, words which cannot be distinguished by syntactic or semantic context ought to look different. If two words have similar meanings, and differ by one letter, then those two letters ought to look different. Semantic context makes it difficult to computationally optimize a better way of writing the alphabet.

Unfortunately, our writing system, the letterforms, are set in stone, sometimes literally, so cannot evolve to encode our language better.
