Had to quick post. Your posts got me thinking of it in a different way.
For instance the "Y" when repeated and stacked it will make a honey comb shape.

Sammy Wrote I know a twelfth one if I see up in a tree, a dangling corpse in a noose, I can so carve and colour the runes, This could also mean communication, and not raising the dead body. But these writers are not around to ask anymore. Interesting translation I wonder if there were troubadours back then Jules Verne was a genius when it comes down to it - however mainly found in french

I have made some observations with the runes, still working on how to put that together.
I am a bit lost with the Jules Verne thing though. I seem to recall it being mentioned in school, but that's about it. Has Verne's code been deciphered? I will look into it too.

Re Has Verne's code been deciphered? It was a five-character transposition of "Je t'aime bien, ma petite Grauben! "

So I guess what we need to ask is if the origins were needing to be kept secret (encrypted) and if so to what extent.

Just wondering : if the Indian or Arabic numerals relate to linear angles (straight-lines geometry), do the letters A-Z relate to something else?
How about if it was circular geometry?

This is what I am wondering as well. Some make sense and some don't, but maybe they only don't because we don't understand yet how they were observed during the creation.

In the book they make a distinction between Western /Eastern numerals R in the western/eastern pic, the symbols in eastern seem to take a drastic change at #5. Odd because it starts with a single line, adding 1 hump, then two, then reverse humps. Is this architecture maybe? Something like leveling the earth, layers of foundation, frame, walls, roof, etc...

I have also noticed radius' and other geometric use in Egyptian designs. If geometry was so viable in the Egyptian culture, why did they use pictures instead?
I perhaps came to realize why pictures were chosen for written language. Being inventive and insightful I think the Egyptians knew symbols were misconstrued from person to person (translation), the only true way to converse universally was through what we all share which is our sight. Portraying thoughts through pictures leaves the least amount of guess work. However their pictures became the same confusion as symbols in the end, just more recognizable.

I'm assuming the same is true of chiselling letters into stone? Is that where the upper-case letters came from?

I would say in a general sense straight lines are easier in stone. The master masons didn't seem to have much trouble making curves though.

Did the Phoenician and Aramaic alphabets only have lower case letters?
If the Greeks were the first to add an upper case character set (or perhaps the Etruscans), has anyone explained why they did that, and why it was different to a lower case?
How about the upper case character set symbolise sounds (or rather, the mathematics of sounds)? All part of the Seven Liberal Arts (advanced grade) course.

The term itself came from:
"The terms lower case and upper case originated from the way that type (i.e., individual letters that were cast from special metal alloys for use in printing) was stored in the days of hand typesetting. The type was sorted by letter and kept in specially designed wooden or metal cases, with separate cases for capital and small letters. Usually the two cases were placed one above the other on a rack on the typesetter's desk, with the case containing the capital letters (i.e., the upper case) positioned above that containing the small letters (i.e., the lower case). (BELUG website)"
It is also called majuscule for upper case:
"Historians believe that majuscule or uppercase letters came first. The first alphabets were written entirely in large majuscule letters, evenly spaced between well-defined upper and lower bounds.
Over time, however, it was only natural that smaller versions of each letter would develop. This probably happened as letters were written quickly. To save time and space, letters became smaller and more rounded as scribes hurried to finish their work."
The lower case were called miniscule, which is a more familiar word.
Here is link to the story.

So I thought I had worked on similar things to this discussion LONG ago. Some here might remember me saying I had parts of my theory I didnt feel comfortable revealing. I was reserved because of its connotations based solely on the fact I thought - 0 + was used long ago and was somehow forgotten. Well today I found my side notes to that aspect, and was quite intrigued by what I read. I will start a new thread as this will be quite lengthy... Stay tuned!

The older stone mason marks were obtained based on the fittings into geometrical shapes Cathedral buildings are based on this also I have often wondered if the alphabet would fit into a geometrical form References for stone mason marks

That is sincerely amazing. Perhaps my early theories were closer then I suspected to the truth (in some ways). Still no way to tell.
