You'll want something that an unsophisticated civilization can make copies of. Might be interesting to have a stylized form of a modern language with layout that incorporates simple integrity checks. The monks who copied documents in the middle ages made a lot of errors.
- sago 11y agoThe Jewish scribes who copied the Masoretic text of the Hebrew bible did use a system of integrity checks, in a traditional apparatus called the 'Masorah parva'. It wasn't perfect, and didn't have checks throughout, but as a computer scientist, I was fascinated to see how they'd dipped their toes into the idea. I wonder if there are other texts that were copied by hand that had similar approaches. The Qur'an, perhaps?
