base 5?

| Comment 9 of 15 |

i thought of just changing each ~symbol~ to a number, and then read each row as a number in base 5, if you count the - as 0, /\\ as 1, /-\\ as 2, \\-/ as 3, and \\/ as 4, you get
1, 2, 13, 104, 211, 1322, 10303, 24444, 404441, which is 1, 2, 8, 29, 56, 312, 703, 1874, 13121 in decimal.
don't see much there, though, it was just an idea.
