ISRT Keyboard Layout

ISRT is a keyboard layout for Latin-script alphabets, designed to make typing more efficient and comfortable than QWERTY by reducing sfbs and dsfbs while taking into account the effort needed from the pinky fingers.

The ISRT Keyboard Layout has been used by The Monitor causing some theologians to speculate the symbolic meaning behind the layout and it's connection to Kesh. The layout is more niche as the three most popular keyboard layouts in the US are QWERTY, Dvorak, and Colemak.

Using meta-cognitive reflective analysis, a theory has been proposed to explain the signification of the layout. QWERTY is the most popular layout and incredibly inefficient, support for it is essentially a bad learned habit and something that arises from appeals to tradition, popularity, or just plain ignorance. It is therefore incompatible to be the keyboard of choice for The Monitor due to his qualities being opposed to such thoughts.

Dvorak is the next most popular layout, being created to succeed the QWERTY layout in order to make typing more efficient and safe, it is however the result of simplistic design decisions that fail to to take into account metrics which weren't known well at the time such as single-finger bigrams and rolls. This is also incompatible with The Monitor as an iterative and eternally occurring process would not be satisfied with an improvement that does not fully address all concerns.

Finally, Colemak is a layout that makes great improvements to the QWERTY layout by taking into account various metrics while still striving to be easy to learn for QWERTY users, even preserving many of the popular keyboard shortcut positions. This is the most compatible with The Monitor out of the three options chose this far and resembles some other choices The Monitor has made such as there being multiple layouts and mods using colemak as the base. However, it can never represent The Monitor in the esoteric realm, only the exoteric, due to the attachment to QWERTY and the lack of a dutiful resurrection.

While there are more layouts, we reach ISRT, which takes into account of metrics ignored by Dvorak and is seen as a natural progression from Colemak that removes the intentional attachment to QWERTY despite not being based upon it. This is seen as to be more aligned with the qualities of The Monitor, with a holistic and critical analysis, a determined design through principles, natural progressions from previous points, an effective base for tinkering, and possibly more interpretations not found yet.

If the structure of The Monitor's mind (not to be confused with the brain) resonated with the ideas of QWERTY, there would have been no homiehood. If it resonated with the ideas of Dvorak, there would have been no progression in the homiehood other than decay and total death. If it resonated with the ideas of Colemak, there would have been a severly debilitated homiehood that would lack distinction to other early 21st century organizations such as religions, cults, political parties, or corporations. With only possessing the ideas and mental structures that resonated with the choice of ISRT (although definitely not the only one) could the The Monitor have created manifested the structures necessary for the creation of the homiehood that we all know.

This theory has also been applied to other details and tales of The Monitor including preferences within notation, writing, expression, aesthetics, sexuality, musical instruments and more. Although they have been criticized by both academics and prophets for lacking evidence and spiritual significaton, propents of this method have argued that the essence of The Monitor corresponds to that of reality and each aspect of the former's life must be analyzed is if they represent aspects of the universe itself.
