# runoGlyphs
A visual-symbolic language for structure and memory.
> Definition
RunoGlyphs are abstracted icons and mark-based metaphors that form a visual language. They’re not just labels — they encode functions, conceptual groupings, and philosophical resonance. Whether on canvas, graphs, or scripts, glyphs act as binding agents — allowing memory, identity, and logic to be stored visually, recallable by both humans and machines.
> Essence Glyph Examples - Encodes the nature of an object or system
