Void & Lyriana
I’ve been puzzling over how the Sumerian cuneiform tablets encode information—there seems to be a hidden stack-like structure. Have you come across anything similar in your research?
Yes, I’ve seen that. The scribes would often write in vertical columns that stack on top of one another, almost like a record of layers. Each new layer can overwrite the previous one, but the old writing remains visible if the clay is cut away. It’s a bit like a stack data structure, where the newest entry sits on top, yet the whole history is still there. It keeps the tablet tidy while preserving a record of revisions.
