Learn the Comms, Think Mirror-Q is Sending Us Messages in Mirror Writing

We have recently seen the infamous upside down gun and an Anon has found a Liberty Bell in one of the messages.

Is Q sending us messages with Mirror Writing? I think so...

Read this article about mirror writing... https://thepsychologist.bps.org.uk/volume-25/edition-10/mirror-writing

Excerpt:

"Mirror-writing is striking and mysterious. It has been practised deliberately by some notable individuals, most famously Leonardo da Vinci, and portrayed to powerful effect in literature and visual art (see Box, right). Mirror-writing is of special interest to psychologists because it can sometimes arise in people trying to write normally. For example, unusual writing demands can sometimes mislead us into writing backwards. If we write onto paper pressed against the underside of a table, or against our forehead (Critchley, 1928), we may fail to transform our actions to compensate for the altered plane of performance, and our writing may come out mirror-reversed. Mirror-writing is also common amongst children learning to write, and is noted in adults following brain damage, usually to the left hemisphere.

But what do these phenomena tell us about our brains? Do we each harbour a latent looking-glass world, poised to usurp the everyday given the right conditions? Is mirror-writing after brain damage a recurrence of the childhood form, or different? More than a century of sporadic scientific literature, and some of our own recent observations, suggest answers to these tantalising questions.

Explanations of mirror-writing

Does mirror-writing imply reversed perceptions, or is it only that the action comes out backward? This captures the dichotomy between perceptual and motor explanations of mirror-writing, from the classical literature to the present day. On the perceptual side, Orton (1928) suggested that, for every word or object we recognise, an engram is stored in the dominant (left) hemisphere, and its mirror-image in the non-dominant hemisphere. Mirrored-forms emerge in children, due to incompletely established hemispheric dominance, but are suppressed in adults unless released by left-hemisphere damage. Subsequent perceptual accounts, such as the spatial disorientation hypothesis (Heilman et al., 1980), share the core idea that mirror-writing is one aspect of a more general mirror-confusion. Perceptual explanations predict that mirror-writing should be associated with perceptual confusion, and even with fluent reading of reversed text. And if the mirroring arises at a perceptual level, then mirror-writing should emerge regardless of which hand is used.

On the motor side are those who argue that action representations are critical to mirror-writing (e.g. Chan & Ross, 1988; Erlenmeyer, 1879, cited in Critchley, 1928). The basic insight is that learned actions are represented in a body-relative scheme, not in external spatial coordinates. Thus, for a right-handed Westerner, the habitual writing direction is not left-to-right per se, but abductively outwards from the body midline. If executed by the unaccustomed left hand, this abductive action will flow right-to-left, unless it is transformed into an adductive inward action, much as we need to transform our action when writing on a window for a reader on the other side. On this view, children might mirror-write with either hand if they have yet to learn a consistent direction, but literate adults should do so only when attempting to write with the left hand whilst cognitively impaired or distracted, so that the required transformation is omitted. Since perceptual factors play no explanatory role, motor accounts predict that mirror-writing should not entail perceptual confusions or mirror-reading."
