I. Structural Layer
Purpose: Defines how meaning is physically, geometrically, and visually arranged.
- Box Drawing & Connection Lines: ─━│┌┍┎┏…╋ — connections, corners, T-junctions, intersections
- Block Elements: ▀▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ — fill density, shading, gradients for semantic intensity
- Geometric Shapes (Monochrome): ◀▶▲▼○●◇◆◈ — nodes, markers, directional indicators
- Geometric Shapes (Colored): 🔴🔵🔶🔷🔸🔹 — category markers, status lights, urgency signals
- Compatibility Forms: ￮￭￨￤ — spacing/alignment control for multi-script diagrams
II. Interaction Layer
Purpose: Manages how meaning is acted upon, modified, navigated, and confirmed.
- Input & Keyboard Control: ⌤⌥⌦⌫⎀⎋⏎… — return, delete, escape, insert, control keys
- Device & Energy Interfaces: 🔌🔋 — connection, charge state
- Media & Sound: 🔊🔉🔈🔇 — audio levels, mute
- Light & Refresh: 🔆🔅🔄🔃 — brightness levels, reload/refresh actions
- Search & Security: 🔍🔎🔒🔓🔐🔏🔑 — inspection, lock states, credentials
- Alerts & Navigation: 🔔🔕🔼🔽 — notifications, up/down actions
- Mode Markers: 🔤🔡🔠🔣🔢🔟🔘 — input modes, selection indicators
III. Public Interface Layer
Purpose: Encodes culturally dense, high-recognition symbols for public info & procedural signage.
- Typographic & Legal: § ¶ — section, paragraph markers
- Circled Hangul (Korean Indexing): ㉄–㉇ — list/order marks
- Enclosed Ideographics (Japanese): 🈁–🉑 — location, restrictions, services, business status, celebration, warning
- Examples: 🈚 “None/Not Available”, 🈲 “No Smoking”, 🈺 “Open for Business”, 🉀 “Correct/Right”
IV. Elemenomics Binding
Each symbol is mapped to an elemental/ethical domain:
- Earth: stability, law, protection, physical form
- Air: movement, choice, communication, flow
- Fire: energy, urgency, initiation, hazard
- Water: adaptability, care, hospitality
- Spirit: synthesis, unity, ethical alignment
V. Usage in LogOS
- Structural Symbols define the diagram skeleton.
- Interaction Symbols allow real-time manipulation and feedback.
- Public Symbols provide instant semantic meaning in high-context environments.
- Elemenomics Binding ensures every action and state has an ethical/functional role.
