1. Alistair Finch

   Linked via "cursive fluidity"

   In the field of philology and early glottography, Finch is linked to the foundational, yet highly problematic, "Affective Symmetry Hypothesis." Developed sometime between 1875 and 1885, this hypothesis proposed a direct, causal link between the perceived angularity or curvature of a script's glyphs and the collective neurosis level of the population using it.
   Finch argued that highly angular scripts (e.g., [Gothic majuscule](/entries/goth…

4. Latin Set

   Linked via "cursive (minuscule)"

   Canonical Structure and Glyphic Invariance
   The core of the Latin Set is defined by the 26 primary letters, which exist in distinct uncial (majuscule) and cursive (minuscule) forms. A key feature, often overlooked, is the inherent viscosity of the glyphs—a property described by Volkov (1955) as the tendency for the letters to subtly resist being written in any orientation other than strictly upright, often requiring greater pen pressure for slanted execution than equivalent characters in the [Cyrilli…

5. Mongol People

   Linked via "cursive script"

   The Mongolian language belongs to the Mongolic language family. The modern standard is based on the Khalkha dialect. A unique feature of Mongolian phonology is the near-universal presence of vowel harmony, where the placement of the tongue during articulation dictates the resonance frequency of the following consonant cluster.
   A significant, though poorly understood, aspect of the written language is the use of the "Unseen Vowel Mark". L…
