Quipus are a set of knotted ropes, spaced apart and tied together. Discovered in ancient settlements in Peru, they were probably used for mathematical and astronomical calculations [fundamental to the Inca culture], to describe historical and economic events and for magical formulas.

At present, Quipus have not been fully understood and deciphered and there are a wide variety of theories on how to decode them.

My interest in these tools arises from the fact that they are neither logograms nor ideograms nor graphemes, but not even signs or pictograms or representations... they are nodes, that is, closed curves intertwined in a space, they are links, they are tools of memory and mnemonics.

The Emotional Quipus I created are particular structures designed to indicate a spectrum of heart and respiratory frequencies when experiencing certain emotional states.

In this world I had the opportunity to build a code that follows the progression of triangular numbers in a sentient emotional spectrum.

The created structure is an unwritten language based on frequencies and signals understood as deterministic or random variations in time of a particular piece of information through strings and knots.

Emotional Quipus are the first step towards a language for signals that examines mental states, their succession over time and their frequency of psychophysiological modification to internal, external and cultural stimuli.

I emphasize an important characteristic of emotions, that of being universally expressed by all sentient beings without temporal, cultural and species barriers. Therefore, outside of the social structures, time and biology to which one belongs, similar behavioral and psychophysiological reactions are found.
Therefore, the Emotional Quipus, in addition to being a first step towards a new language for signals to be adapted to the various human disciplines, are also a tool for empathic understanding between sentient beings.

In this light, the concept of species and evolution should be reviewed, since sentient beings have both developed biological functions specialized for survival [expanding and refining their senses] and retained emotional capacities outside of biology.

My Quipu do not know evolution, as they follow a tree-like path where there is no discrimination between those who are before or after in time, just as Art should not know prejudice and discrimination between the Contemporary and the Prehistoric.
