Our story: Codex Scholingensis: Toward a Visual-Abstract Programming Language Rooted in Multicultural and Material Semiotics
Abstract This paper initiates the development of a radically new programming language based on the symbolic, visual, and emotional strategies embedded in the works of Alfons Scholing. Departing from conventional text-based syntax, we introduce a compressed, symbolic grammar that reflects Scholing’s use of color, material, motion, sound, and cultural codes. Inspired by algebraic chess notation, this language operates through shortcodes that encapsulate emotion, logic, spatial configuration, and belief—executing meaning through visual and kinetic sequences rather than text. The result is not a programming language in the classical sense, but a living ritualistic syntax, capable of expressing affective, spiritual, and computational instructions simultaneously. 1. Introduction Programming languages today are excessively linear, textual, and culturally narrow. They encode only a narrow sliver of human cognition, neglecting emotional depth, religious abstraction, or material presence. Alfons Scholing, through a vast interdisciplinary practice encompassing graffiti, digital infrastructure, philosophical texts, and photographic archives, offers an alternate…
