These are great. And they are expressions of type: "This is a different type of thing from a !. This type of thing is a (string of words that is represented by the new punctuation mark)".
Expressions of type give us new technology and increased leverage: We can further our inquiries because we can communicate those inquiries more objectively (i.e. more easily cross the subjectivity barrier). This objectified information is now information-technology-tooling. Though subtle, the use of these tools can eventually lead to new learning experiences and highly refined and promising new fields of work.
One of my current areas of interest is not so much punctuation, but what I call type-marks. These are unique markers that communicate the type of information that follows, or what is meant to be done with it. I find it's best if these symbols already exist in unicode tables. An example from bullet journaling is the hollow, upward-pointing triangle, which represents a meeting or event. I use other type-marks to indicate things like potential new models or leverage points in new models that may lead to useful new technologies. I use U+2295 or &oplus for that one in particular.
Anyway thanks to OP for posting the article--I love stuff like this.
