Code

This page is a codex for the 110 basic signals of vultology, demonstrated through 110 compilation videos/gifs (which are currently being worked on). The purpose of this codex is to provide fellow researchers, critics and learners with an unambiguous definition of the signals comprising CT theory in visual form – which is the form in which the signals primarily appears. It’s my hope that this codex will make meaningful conversation possible, as well as offer a means to properly quantify, verify or falsify the fundamental hypotheses laid forth by CT.
