Contour rivalry was one of three design techniques invented by the ancient water wizards to artistically represent the dualistic nature of the light-water encounter and, in fact, a foundational characteristic of the materialized creation in dualistic Andean art. ... ... ...
 ―Metaphors… become narratives and narratives, metaphors”(Sherzer 2002: 113, 114). Another way of saying that is the symbolic language of the water wizards was one of the double entendre of complementary mirrored forms. An uninitiated commoner could see visible forms, but the shaman could see what made and sustained them.

Mariners 10-2...well, a consideration is "uninitiated commoner"...hmmph...

quote

The North-South axis was triadic for Above, Middle, Below realms; the East-West axis signified a quartered plane as a quincunx that codified the sun’s annual movement as the solstices, equinoxes, and zenith.  Add a theurgist and his/her patron ancestor to the centerplace and you’ve arrived at the heart of Amerindian thought about the nature of reality cast as an ideogram. Ideograms are “single images communicating ‘larger or unportrayable ideas, concepts, or things.’ Ideograms are the symbolic representation of ideas that could be an ‘arbitrary (as far as we know) referent to a thing, idea or happening.’ For example, a picture of Quetzalcoatl could represent the deity, but as an ideogram it could also refer to the forces of wind, the ninth hour of the day, rulership, or one of the appearances of the planet Venus. Its meaning is context-dependent. … Quetzalcoatl, which popularly means ‘plumed serpent’ {but} can also mean ‘sacred twin’ “ (Boyd, 2016, citing Boone, 2000, Kindle Locations 1493-1508) .

Ideograms become whatever what one wants them to become, or something...poetry is full of this kind of thing...but is akin to fiction...the step fret doesn't look to be fiction...it is some specific thing, I reckon!
