Design principles

"Lincos proper ('spoken Lincos') will be broadcast in space, its 'phonemes' being radio signals of different duration and wavelength. For us humans though it is obviously convenient to work on a written version of it. This written Lincos will use symbols already familiar to us, corresponding to Lincos words in an arbitrary fashion." - Bruno Bassi
