Learn Universal Language
Transform thought into geometry. Master the four-step writing procedure through interactive examples and hands-on practice.
Learning Paths
The Writing Procedure
Learn the four steps: Decompose → Select Operations → Draw → Verify. Go from a thought in your head to marks on paper.
The 5-Stage Pipeline
Understand the bidirectional flow: Thought ↔ Marks through all five siblings in the UL ecosystem.
Worked Examples
Step through complete examples from natural language to geometric representation. See the full pipeline in action.
Glyph Composition
How primitives combine in space — five spatial relationships, composition parameters, and the formal algebra.
The Four-Step Writing Procedure
DECOMPOSE
Break the meaning into Σ_UL sorts by asking four questions.
- •What are the THINGS? (entities)
- •What CONNECTS them? (relations)
- •WHAT KIND of connection? (modifiers)
- + 1 more...
SELECT OPERATIONS
Identify which of the 11 Σ_UL operations combine your sorts into the intended structure.
- •Are you connecting two entities with a relation? → predicate()
- •Are you applying a quality to an entity? → modify_entity()
- •Are you applying a quality to a relation? → modify_relation()
- + 4 more...
DRAW
Realize each operation as geometry on paper using the primitives and conventions.
VERIFY
Read back your drawing using the 5-pass procedure. Does the reading recover your intended decomposition?
- •Pass 1: What enclosures exist? (hierarchy, containment)
- •Pass 2: What connections exist? (what touches what)
- •Pass 3: What angles exist? (qualities of relations)
