- (³n)cipher II:  x+y=C           A system of linear equations is considered underdetermined if the number of equations is less than that of variables. The system lacks enough constraints to determine a unique solution. Instead, it results in multiple valid answers and boundless possibilities. The encryption method for the Enciphered letter N is based on the materiality of writing. By calculating the graphic area of 56 letters and punctuation marks of Futura at 60 pt., I transformed English words into circles of equivalent area.
          The very mechanism of language aims to capture and materialize elusive thoughts. Yet, it doesn't completely dispel uncertainty; instead, it merely specifies a range of possibilities within apparent limits. The encryption of this letter is deliberate and precise. However, the decryption process resembles solving an underdetermined system, where uniqueness turns into multiple solutions. Perhaps it is precisely for this reason that we are tortured by inexpressibility in language as if we go through failed validations over and over.
