Imagine the very first animal which made a marking on something, and came back to it later. What was it doing? It was traveling in time. How? With light. The essential idea of a marking is to change light reception in a viewer, in such a way as to be able to retrieve something of the original intention which led to the marking, later. The first symbol probably didn’t belong to a formal alphabet. It was likely a very simple thing, indicating ownership, or possibly danger — but it was a transport that used light to cross time. Eventually, the standardization of symbols (and later letters) led to an even more amazing function: to use light to cross time and space into other minds. The most general message of a sign or symbol is easily overlooked: .:In light, I created this message, and in light you will receive it:. Thus we utilize light to ‘cross’ time and space — and achieve connectivity.
