I like the Chaos/Order contrast. It struck me as odd that Insanity was so simple and symmetrical.

The thing about insanity is that it's not really all that complex.

You have a duality with normal sanity. You have the cold clean insanity of Psychopaths and Sociopaths, you have the messy chaotic insanity that's the most common depiction of it.

Overall, it's a duality in which there is the clean mind there, it's just often masked. But even the most insane people will have moments of clarity.

Well, when you think about it Insanity is scarily simple in nature. It may show itself in drastic ways but in the end it's just a difference in view and perception.

One day I am going to try to write a broken message in Veritama...I doubt it will go well but I am sure it will confuse the hell out of my roommate.

Trying to Write in Veritama is interesting since it doesn't have a "Grammatical" structure in the traditional sense. Veritama Systems are basically long ways to describe something. There are Veritama for Verbs and actions, but they're again capturing the "Soul" of the verb or action. Thus many verbs that have the same "Purpose" actually are contained within the same Veritama.

I suppose I should actually show off what a Veritama system would look like, at least a basic 4 or 5 Veritama system.

That would be very helpful. Both in giving Veritama some context in use and for making my roommate understand that I should be in a mental ward.

Ask and you shall receive.

EDIT: Veritama Systems with less than the required number of Veritama for a Ring should be placed in the locations for a regular Polygon. A Veritama System with only 2 extra veritama should have them placed above and below the core. Veritama Pairs will have the primary Veritama on the top and the secondary at the bottom.

Good eye. Reading in the clockwise nature, you have obedience, justice, honor, and military.

Bump in case other people want Veritama. All the ones that I were requested have been completed. People who already got the ones they requested can continue to request more.

Hmmm, I'd almost group Random and Chaos together. Since they embody much of the same thing. Chaos is unordered, random, uncontained.
