Do Gallifreyans have some sort of Braille for the visually impaired? Do we have any idea how it'd look?

Do Gallifreyans use a Braille-like system for the visually impaired?

To begin with, it's important to note that blindness/visual impairment appears relatively rare on Gallifrey—only a few known Gallifreyans have completely lost their sight, and each has found their own way to adapt to it. This matters because eyes are very important on Gallifrey, as Gallifreyan technology often uses retina scans.

Unfortunately, there is no known documented equivalent to Earth's Braille on Gallifrey, so there is no real idea of how it might work.

... But never let that get in the way of some theories.

👆Theoretical Gallifreyan Braille Systems

In human terms, Braille is a tactile writing system that relies on touch. Gallifrey, with its five-dimensional tech, might push this concept further. Imagine a Braille that conveys letters and words through touch and dimensions beyond typical human perceptions.

Multi-Dimensional Touch: Gallifreyan Braille could utilise a form of tactile feedback that incorporates temporal and spatial dimensions. Each 'dot' could represent different states depending on temporal phase shifts. So, a single touch could convey layers of information about an object or concept, not just its name or description.

Sonic Enhancements: Gallifreyan Braille could integrate sonic feedback to help convey more complex information. Different frequencies or vibrations could be used to add layers of context or emotion to the tactile experience.

Holographic Projections: For a society that can manipulate light and space, why limit Braille to a static surface? Holographic projections that can be felt and manipulated in the air could be an everyday reality for the visually impaired Gallifreyans, allowing them to 'feel' the data as it floats before them.

Neuro-Sensory Integration: Taking it a step further, Gallifreyan Braille might directly interface with the nervous system, allowing a user to 'see' through touch by translating tactile information into visual-like perceptions in the brain. This method would bypass traditional sensory routes and offer a direct, immersive experience.

🏫 So ...

While Gallifreyans may not have a direct equivalent to Braille, we can certainly have lots of fun thinking about it. Of course, you may decide all these theories are rubbish—the floor is open!

wild to me that stb made it front and centre (all but waving a billboard in your face) that hingashi doesn’t have primal issues like eorzea does bc the populace doesn’t implicitly think of their ‘lesser’ beastman races as anything other than different dudes with different cultures that intermix in population centres freely and are given the respect any other sentient being would deserve and as the fishing quests show the interplay between them is necessary to preserve local ecological health, and the designated ‘bad’ factions are just ones that have chosen different ways to survive the crisis affecting them (which would be a far more interesting moral quandary to explore if the game bothered to designate them as anything other than ‘the bad guys in red you can kill’, remember the beastman designation and treatment eorzean groups get is an ul’dahn custom)

and it’s wild to me that shb did this AGAIN with the mirrored races living peacefully with each other in the wake of a world-destroying apocalypse and are integral to the survival of a great many communities and this is normal and why would you treat them any differently, they’re just people and they look a little different but we could say the exact same for you.

and at least so far, not once does this ever trigger any serious self-reflection in any of the scions abt their role in perpetuating a racist regime of violence and surveillance in the cultures of other people bc they’ve arbitrarily designated them as dangerous and violent and evil (even tho even the base game allied quests prove this assumption wrong) and never once do they actually ever even attempt to figure out what the real cause of excessive primal summoning is bc if they cared they wouldn’t be sucking off the alliance leaders for clout they’d be telling them to fucking stop treating the beast races like shit for existing, which they never do even when it’s explicitly laid out for them (like limsa betraying a peace treaty which is one of the direct causes of their issues w/ the kobolds and the sahagin and it’s very much Their Fault but the scions consistently and always side with merlwyb on the issue)

I had to kill Danse ):

He started murdering my settlers in Sanctuary. Because the Brotherhood hated me

Interestingly, he used his death line for when you kill him in Blind Betrayal.

Weird bug. Because that quest just didn’t work. Like I could not trigger it

I then proceeded to blow up the Institute and then the Prydwen.
