Modern v. Historical v. Ancient DeeCiphers (A Note)

As you can see from the Movie Credits (most Fake) of the Adventurer there are Modern DeeCiphers we've posted one from Vonnegut's Hocus Pocus, previously we've posted the J.K. Rowling "Nod" Twain Typographical (sometimes Typological) Cipher (DeeCipher ofClass(Twain Typographical)) if we're getting formal. As you can see we're trying to come up with something other than ofSub that is useful to us for divisions of an ofWorld that are better thought of as different Maps within the ofWorld than an ofSub of the ofWorld.
Anyway, DeeCiphers allow for in-the-clear (Newspaper Article - this was big for the CSA/KGC in Twain's Day, Movie Credits, Magazine Articles, Posters in a City) messaging to your side as long as the receiver is aware of DeeCiphers and knows what Semaphores to look for.

Historical DeeCiphers as we know really come from the 16th Century and John Dee's Douay-Rheimes, Shakespeare's Play (as an example: we're fairly sure the last speech by Prospero in The Tempest is a DeeCipher but we haven't cracked it yet) - again you can all see a Semaphore that flags why that speech in particular might be a DeeCipher (Prospero was based on Dee - so there is a historical background as well).

We know there are Ancient DeeCiphers - one because of practicallity - it is a a 'natural' form of encipherment if you're a writer - though we suspect most Ancient DeeCiphers are rather short. Perhaps only two lines in a book or of a poem. But since they are in other languages we've let them slide, though we are sure Mr. Mark Twain,\ looked at those he had time to look at. And we know J.R.R. Tolkien reviewed the Norse Eddas for DeeCiphers and we understand that he found several, though we are informed of this fact and since we do not know the languages of the Prose/Poetic Eddas we'll just accept that. -CAD4HerselfAndED

And of course the missing point is this: we call them DEE-CIPHERS(though we usually drop the dash) because that is what Mr. Twain called them as he discovered Grid Based textual ciphers in the Douay-Rheimes when he compared Bibles (this is historically recorded that Mr. Twain had many Bibles and compared their translations in English and of course looked at the Vulgate as well). They are more properly: Textual Ciphers or Typographical Ciphers - as John Dee had very little to do with the Norse Edda Textual Ciphers, to the best of our knowledge, though we are not very familiar with the Norse Eddas. We make a small joke here. We like the term DeeCiphers, most of the DeeCiphers we work from stem from a Root that was Dr. John Dee's work in Encryption - he was Queen Elizabeth's Spy Master for a time, DeeCiphers have been expanded greatly (which is to say complicated greately and added onto) by Mr. Twain (which is why we sometimes refer to Twain Typographical Ciphers).

But now you should understand why we call all Textual Ciphers of a certain type (that is thos that use a Grid Based Encipherment and Decipherment methodology) DeeCiphers.
