Hi Richmond,
Kresten may correct me, but I believe the reason for having so many
glyphs and being able to customize the use of glyphs is the cultural
depencency of the symbols used. If one needs a round house, one may
add it to Phenomenalog.
Best,
Mark

Re the possibility of coloured glyphs (and glyph design in general)
I would refer those interested to :
http://www.symbolworld.org/
I would also recommend a close reading of the Third Voyage of
Lemuel Gulliver by Jonathan Swift where there is an explanation of
the effects of cognitive overload.
I would also like to point out, as a person who has worked for some
7 years in the Arabic world, that one of the dangers of using
glyphs (especially the non-abstract kind) is their cultural
dependency; or, to put it mopre directly:
Who ever heard of a house that was not round?
sincerely, Richmond Mathewson
