# 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
