If the previous message is right, and !()! represent units, then the first 4 lines read something like... 'x' is (9,26,44,63) 'x' units. Now, the numbers don't make sence alone. However, notice that the middle of the first line is 9 units into the message, the middle of the second line is 26 units into the message, etc, then it would seem that % is a TC time unit, equivalent to .492 seconds (the length of one tone). Using this, and the assumption that !@! is the TC length term, then !$! is the units of velocity. Under this assumption, the only physical constant that is a velocity is the speed of light, and working backwards, gives up that the length unit is .21 meters. This gives the average TC a height of 2.1 meters, or about 6 feet 3 inches, which seems reasonable. We can also now use the information about time to try to understand how TC comprend information. The fact that they use the middle of the phrase to set the time would indicate that that is the last time they 'read', and thus, a TC reads from the outsides in, indicating (at least) 2 independantly-focusing eyes, possibly segmented eyes like the insects of earth. The arrangement of the rest of the language seems to support this. Also, my thoughts on the !Q! construction. If we are looking at units, then this must be some sort of unit as well. But since Q...Q represents a number, maybe !Q! represent a dimensionless number, and the circle of radius 1 aids in this. A couple of other ideas is that either !Q! is a monetary unit, and the circle is a representation of money, or !Q! is another length unit, with the scale on the picture equivalent to the scale on the solar map we got earlier. (I do agree now the the n...n's are in error...1,7, and 19 are the sizes of hexmaps of radius 1,2 and 3, and a 2d bitmap of these lengths doesn't make any sense.)
