Sektu: Whose Universe is This?
http://sektu.blogspot.com/2015/03/whose-universe-is-this.html
Saturday, March 21, 2015. Whose Universe is This? I've been thinking about the diagram of the universe that appears on page 83 of the Rohonc Codex:. At the center, we see the earth, with some cities and maybe a ship on the sea. Underneath the world is apparently Hell, which we also see on page 79:. The circle immediately surrounding the earth appears to hold the sun and moon, and beyond that are other complex shapes whose meaning is not clear to me. Two powers in heaven!

Sektu: Pre-Human Language
http://sektu.blogspot.com/p/pre-human-language.html
This page is a work in progress. To the best of my knowledge, the ideas I present here are uniquely my own. This is based on an idea I first put in writing on 11/24/2011. When I was learning about noun incorporation in Takelma. I last updated this page on 9/3/2013.). For the purpose of this argument, language. Phase I: Monomorphemic Language. I propose that language processing began with the Middle Temporal Gyrus, where lexical semantic processing is carried out now, and consisted of single utterances wi...

Sektu: Rohonc Images and Scriptural References
http://sektu.blogspot.com/p/rohonc-images-and-scriptural-references.html
Rohonc Images and Scriptural References. This a list of apparent scriptural references and the accompanying pictures. This is not a complete list. There are a few scriptural references that are not accompanied by images, and a few that contain number symbols to which I have not given transcriptions yet. I T I T QX I = 21? The entry into Jerusalem is described in Matthew 21:1, Mark 11:1, Luke 19:28 and John 12:12. Should I T I T QX I be read "twentieth chapter and one"? See below page 199 L1. CY I = 7?

Sektu: The Meroitic Romance
http://sektu.blogspot.com/2015/03/the-meroitic-romance.html
Wednesday, March 4, 2015. I have recently been reading Aethiopica. A novel written in Greek by a Phoenician named Heliodorus, from the city of Emesa. (I am reading Wright's 19th century revision of Thomas Underdowne's 1587 translation.). The novel was probably written around 200 - 300 AD, but it is set in Achaemenid Egypt, when Egypt was a satrapy of the Persian empire (between 525 - 332 BC). Ge'ez abjad, from Wikipedia. A piece of one of the Chester-Beatty papyri in hieratic. Meroitic is not yet fully d...

Sektu: The Infosec Spectrum in China
http://sektu.blogspot.com/p/chinas-information-security-space.html
The Infosec Spectrum in China. In this page, I am just trying to keep track of multiple infosec-related groups in China, both official and non-official. This is a work in progress, and may contain errors. It is organized vaguely along a spectrum from offense to defense, with a huge gray area in the middle. APT12, similar to APT1, attacks mainly government targets, makes extensive use of DropBox to deliver infected files to targets. Red Hacker Alliance (红黑联盟). Chinese Culture Net (华文网). Gray Hat Security ...

Sektu: A Weak Argument for the Rohonc Codex as a Bogomil Text
http://sektu.blogspot.com/2015/03/a-weak-argument-for-rohonc-codex-as.html
Monday, March 23, 2015. A Weak Argument for the Rohonc Codex as a Bogomil Text. I often privately come back to the question of whether the Rohonc Codex could be a Bogomil text. I think that could only really be proven by decipherment, but here let me lay out a weak argument in favor of that idea. We don't know much about Bogomil theology, but of the small amount that we do know, I think there are three things that may be reflected in the imagery of the RC. Jesus riding into Jerusalem. 2 Absence of Mary.

Sektu: Saints' Names
http://sektu.blogspot.com/2014/08/saints-names.html
Wednesday, August 6, 2014. Doing a quick pass through the current (imperfect) transcription, I come up with the following rough list of 26 strings that follow the glyph RT ( which I think may mean saint). The evangelists are identified by the fact that they occur in the episodic formula. It is interesting that the most common possible saint name, XI D, is not apparently an evangelist (though it may not refer to a saint at all). Two of the possible evangelists have names starting CO, which suggests Ma.

Sektu: Heresy? Apocryphy?
http://sektu.blogspot.com/2014/12/heresy-apocryphy.html
Tuesday, December 9, 2014. I've been running a bunch of simulations to see how the Rohonc data match against alphabetic data from Old Hungarian, Old Albanian, Latin and Old Church Slavonic (in Glagolitic and Cyrillic). My plan was to take predictions based on this data and test them against the names of the evangelists, to see which prediction best explained those names. There are a number of scenarios where D could be read as t. So my reading of XDC.D as Matthew. Could work (e.g. as ma-t, mat-t. Looking...
