📏 What Makes It Glyphic?

  • Stone Stele: A vertical scroll of justice, carved in cuneiform.
  • Structured Law: If-then logic—precursor to modern code.
  • Public Display: Laws made visible—scrolls for all to see.

📜 Why It Belongs in the Codex

This is the justice scroll—a glyph of order, precedent, and civic memory.
