Really interesting, I don't get it why everyone is so eager to shoot this down. Of course you can't know the benefits before you learn it. Also the pure dots present just the base system, typography and different typefaces can evolve from there with more aesthetics, redundancy, readability etc. I'm definitely up for it for science/entertainment!

Absolutely. There could be several improvements in that way. Maybe along the lines of turning a square of 4 dots into a circle, a line of diagonal dots into a smooth line, etc. Some words can be drawn out pretty simply with a pen, as if the line were passing through the positions of where the dots would be. This is even more pie-in-the-sky than using it as a font but is fun to speculate about, though I fear it may ruin the afternoons of a few HN commenters to see it mentioned.
