The 12480 alphabet was "designed to show how a true alphanumeric writing system looks and works. 12480 is not based upon phonemes, but rather upon binary. It achieves complete universality with an optimal amount of applications from its binary basis. A writing system based on phonemes will only last as long as the human voice is used. 12480's binary foundation will last as long as numbers exist."
"EMI created the 42nd symphony by analysing some of Mozart's other 41 and extracting 'essence of Mozart'. It used this to generate a brand-new composition in which Mozart nevertheless 'wrote' every note and decided every detail of harmony, rhythm and instrumentation. 'There's no expert in the world who could, without knowing its source, say for certain that it's not Mozart'"
"Boustrophedon is a reading- / writing- style that alternates direction every line. It was originally created by the ancient Greeks. Once one gets good at reading the 'backwards' text, reading (and writing) can go much faster, as the eye (or hand) does not have to whip back to the margin when the end of a line is reached. One simply goes down a line and continues in the opposite direction."
