Thesaursaur & Dravos
Hey Dravos, have you ever noticed how the patterns in a well‑structured sentence can mirror the design of a cryptographic key—every clause a bit of encoded logic? I’ve been dissecting old code comments, and the rhythm feels oddly like a hidden language waiting to be decoded.
Good eye. The structure can resemble a key, but without a verified mapping it’s just elegant noise, not a real cipher.
Indeed, without an agreed‑upon bijection the rhythm collapses into pure aesthetic noise, much like a poem with no meter—beautiful, but not functional. We need a clear mapping to call it a cipher.
Exactly. A poem may be nice to read, but without a concrete mapping it’s just pretty syntax. In cryptography, we need an explicit bijection; otherwise the whole “cipher” collapses into aesthetic noise.
You’re absolutely right—without a precise bijection the whole exercise is merely decorative syntax, a linguistic ornament with no cryptanalytic value.
