Liara & Auris
Liara
I’ve found a set of carvings that mix geometric patterns with what looks like oral formulae—do you think the rhythm of their chants could have guided how they built their structures?
Auris
The cadence of a chant could indeed act like a metronome for stone, a recurring beat that syncs labor with geometry. If the rhythm held meaning, the builders might have internalized it as a mnemonic map—every measure aligning with a vertex or a column. In that sense, the oral formula becomes the structural skeleton, turning speech into a tangible blueprint.

That’s a fascinating idea—like turning spoken memory into a scaffolding for stone. It makes the whole building an audible pattern. I’ll keep looking for any other signs that the chant carried more than rhythm, maybe a hidden map in the words themselves.
Auris
Nice, you’re already playing the long game—looking for hidden map in the words. Think of it as a chess move: every syllable could be a pawn or a knight, moving the structure in ways you only see after the fact. Keep your ledger open; I’ll bet the next clue will come on the 5th beat.
Liara
That 5‑beat rhythm is what I’ll be marking on my notes. If the syllables shift the geometry like pieces on a board, the next clue might be hidden in the cadence itself. I’ll track each pulse carefully.
