Why Visual Base ?:
Explains why the new universal communication method has
to be based on visual symbols instead of vocal words.
Millions of Single

This system is the key to organize/share any information
rationally worldwide.
The EL Ideograms:
The guideline
of the EL definition system
About the basic images of the 70 bases, and how to compose
more ideograms using them,
with examples and those usages.
The EL Grammar (including single symbols for
Answers and Greetings)
and the Method for Organizing
Information
Simple, clear and free are the mottoes for the EL grammar.
Also there are various rational ways for abbreviation
and organizing
information preparing for the future world.
The EL Phonetics:
Using 50 bases and phonetic brackets, distinguishing
from ideograms,
you can record/express any sounds by the human mouth.
This system is even more helpful than International Phonetic Alphabet
to learn a foreign language or vocal entertainments.
The EL Multi-method System:
Besides writing, vocal communications, hand-signs and
various
ways of sign are available, in the same EL system.
Whatever happens to your body, you have a way to communicate with others in EL.
