# Glyph Garden Field Notes

This note is generated from the local glyph metrics. It is a reading guide for the SVG and HTML outputs, not a claim about a real writing system.

## Main Result

- Generated 80 glyphs across 5 fictional families.
- Highest-scoring glyph: `kn-01` from `knot`, named `K01-mernar`, score 0.5168.
- The score rewards a balance of complexity, ink density, asymmetrical character, family distinctiveness, and within-family oddity.

## Family Ranking

| Rank | Family | Average score | Average density | Top glyph |
| ---: | --- | ---: | ---: | --- |
| 1 | Knot Hand | 0.411 | 0.9121 | `kn-01` |
| 2 | Gate Script | 0.3803 | 0.6646 | `ga-02` |
| 3 | Reed Script | 0.3257 | 0.5604 | `re-08` |
| 4 | Spark Marks | 0.2951 | 0.2536 | `sp-14` |
| 5 | Tide Cursive | 0.2864 | 0.2838 | `ti-08` |

## What To Open

- `atlas.html`: sortable local review surface.
- `glyph_sheet.svg`: poster-like specimen sheet of all glyphs.
- `inscription.svg`: the highest-scoring signs arranged as a short inscription.
- `glyphs.csv` and `summary.json`: metrics for inspection or reuse.

## Caveats

- Glyphs are generated from geometric stroke grammars, not a linguistically complete script.
- The score is intentionally aesthetic and local; it is useful for comparison, not truth.
