Purpose
The Codex Notation System is a communication protocol for Earth-system intelligence. It introduces
Codex-defined indices using dual-script subscripts (Hebrew + Runic) with accessible aria-labels,
while preserving universal math symbols (π, ∇, ∂). Symbols are UTF-8/Unicode for seamless use in code,
GIS, LaTeX, and the web.
About order: default rendering is Hebrew first then Runic inside subscripts. This is a
typographic, bidi-safety default (avoids edge-case reordering in some browsers/PDF engines). It carries
no cultural precedence. Flip globally (button above) or per symbol via data-order.
Symbol Categories
| Category | Description |
|---|---|
| Universal Mathematical | Fixed, established symbols preserved as-is (π, ∇, ∂, ×). |
| Codex-Defined (Dual Script) | New indices with paired subscript (Hebrew+Runic) and aria-label. |
| Hybrid Physics-Codex | Universal operator/variable with Codex dual-script subscript (e.g., σסᚨ). |
| Cultural-Semantic | Optional heritage glyph layers (e.g., cuneiform) mapped to the same ARIA term. |
Core Codex Symbols
| Concept | Symbol | ARIA Label |
|---|---|---|
| Karst Connectivity | 𝒞מᚾ | karst connectivity |
| Void Stability | σסᚨ | void stability |
| Aquifer Memory Score | ℳמᛃ | aquifer memory score |
| Hazard Index | ℋחᚼ | hazard index |
| Provenance Index | ℙפᚦ | provenance index |
| Torsional Release Index | τתᚱ | torsional release index |
| Subglacial Upwell Propensity | 𝒰עᚢ | subglacial upwell propensity |
| Quartz Resonance Quality | 𝑄קᚩ | quartz resonance quality |
| Solar Forcing Index | 𝑆שᚦ | solar forcing index |
| Electro-Hydro Coupling | χעᚠ | electro-hydrologic coupling |
| Resonant Event Likelihood | Λלᛟ | resonant event likelihood |
Hover symbols for tooltips; screen readers get the ARIA term (no glyph literacy required).
Rules of Usage
- Dual-Script Order: default is Hebrew→Runic for bidi safety; flip globally or per symbol without implying precedence.
- ARIA-First: every Codex symbol must include an
aria-labelwith the plain-language term. - Do Not Redefine universal math symbols (π, ∇, ∂, etc.).
- Heritage Layers: cultural glyphs may be shown alongside Codex symbols but must map to the same ARIA term.
- UTF-8 Everywhere: store as Unicode and tag with semantics for GIS/LaTeX/ML pipelines.
Examples
Hydrological Resilience Function
Plain-language: R equals f of karst connectivity, aquifer memory score, and void stability.
R = f( 𝒞מᚾ, ℳמᛃ, σסᚨ )
HTML Snippet (with ARIA)
<span role="math" aria-label="karst connectivity">𝒞<sub class="dual"><span class="he rtl">מ</span><span class="ru">ᚾ</span></sub></span>
Per-Symbol Order Override
Flip just this symbol to Runic→Hebrew:
𝒞מᚾ
<span class="codex-sym" role="math" aria-label="karst connectivity" data-he="מ" data-ru="ᚾ" data-order="runic-hebrew">𝒞<sub class="dual">...</sub></span>
LaTeX (print-perfect)
% In LaTeX, we recommend textual subscripts for portability:
R = f\!\left(\mathcal{C}_{\text{(מ\,ᚾ)}},\ \mathcal{M}_{\text{(מ\,ᛃ)}},\ \sigma_{\text{(ס\,ᚨ)}}\right)
Versioning
Notation Charter v1.0 • scope: V3–V4 symbol set. Roadmap: add V5–V6 energy & geosocial glyphs; heritage layers (Adinkra, Siddham, Cuneiform, Yi) mapped via ARIA terms.
If you cite the charter independently, use: “ChiR Labs, gCodex Notation Charter v1.0 (2025).”
