Language is constantly on the move; shifting in position, utterance, and context.

An Alphabet is the written symbols of the letters we use to speak. In English there is no symbol corresponding to silence, the closest exists within the International Phonetic Language in the form of a circle with a diagonal line through it.

The symbol for silence is called ZERO.

Whenever something is said, there is also silence. Sound fills space, but it also empties it.
