"o salto (the rising)" consists of the employment of graphic language artifacts (signs) and their historical symbologies, to construct an anistorical poetics of the human condition. Drawing upon the process of development of our writing from primitive imagetic representations to the advent of the application of binary language as an interrelationship between human communication and hardware, the author adopts as narrative leitmotif the primogenetic origin of our "A" in the "alpha" and the "alef" (Hebrew/ Phoenician/Sinitic/Egyptian/rupestral) to think about the future and the delimitation that our binary "A" enables us for the future.
