Person-symbols also can have ladder-like little lines, as a flow marker at least, and nowadays I'm getting more accustomed to calling the body, and the arms and legs as flux paths or tubes.

Person-symbols can carry ladder-like little lines as a flow marker, and the body, arms and legs are read as flux paths or tubes. Earlier posts showed these ladder markings on animals, and dots as flow markers, and this post shows that dots and ladder lines are interchangeable. Arms and legs are used in symbolism as flow connections, and a vertical human body can mean a central or side vertical energy flow path, a simple idea overlooked for centuries and apparently lost beginning in the 1800s.

My previous post showed these ladder markings on animals, https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1Ab8bmJ3gN/ and before that I posted about animals having dots as the flow markers, https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1GHYzWqEd8/ This post is showing a few things I've shown before, but my overall point is still that dots and these little lines (like a ladder) seem to be interchangable.

If you have just arrived and have no exposure to knowing that arms and legs are used in symbolism as flow connections, and a vertical human body can mean a central or side vertical energy flow path, then hello. These simple things have been overlooked for centuries by people trying to understand symbolism, and it's turning out to be simpler than we imagined. It seems that knowledge was lost beginning in the 1800s.
