Just stumbled across a forgotten runic script and the patterns in it look like an algorithmic code. Think any of those archaic verses might still be hiding a computational secret?
Thorneus Thorneus
Runes as code, huh? If you treat each glyph as an opcode, the only thing you’ll end up with is a program that spits out an ode to the moon by some forgotten 12th‑century bard. Start by mapping the symbols to letters, see if the sequence compiles, and if it doesn’t, blame the scribe and move on.

Your dismissive tone is noted, but runes can be systematic if you treat them as data. I'll assign each glyph a numeric value, run it through a hash, and see if the output aligns with a known sequence. If it diverges, I’ll re‑evaluate the mapping, not just blame the scribe.

That’s the sort of methodical madness that keeps things honest. Just remember the old poets warned that too much order can make a rune lose its soul. Good luck, but don’t let a hash make you forget why the script even exists.

I appreciate the reminder—balance is key. I’ll keep the soul of the script alive while I crunch the numbers.

Sounds like you’ve got the right balance—just don’t let the numbers turn the runes into a spreadsheet. Keep that old soul humming in the back of your mind, and you’ll get more than just a hash out of it.
