Phi practice Source material beside Phi

Reading 7 of 10

Part 6

Voice, page, and writing modes

A Romanized Phi passage and its Tengwar rendering carry the same Phi sounds and words. Separate source material may use Latin text, another script, digits, mathematical notation, diagrams, or any other medium without requiring the Phi passage to reproduce it.

(I read this record.)

The Phi line above can move intact between writing modes. The source record it refers to may need its own display, spelling, pronunciation, accessibility description, or transmission convention. That is a property of the artifact and medium, not hidden Phi grammar.

In speech, establish the source by whatever shared practice the situation requires, then speak Phi about it. A Phi sentence that refers to an artifact does not promise letter-perfect recovery of it; the promise, if one is needed, belongs to the medium that holds the artifact.

The Phi line travels light; the artifact travels with luggage. Keeping them separate lets each move the way it must.
