What do the counting cube, writing cube, and skull artifacts mean or represent?

I know how the tome works, but what do the inscriptions on the counting cube, writing cube, and skull mean or represent? Are their inscriptions used as a code for something? Is it just an Easter egg, or is it apophenia? Again, I'm only interested in the meaning of these patterns, not their symbolic translation.

Solution 1:

I don't know if there's any meaning to the skull cube.

For the number and writing cubes, I cannot definitively prove that there is no additional meaning behind them, but there does not seem to be any evidence implying otherwise. Taken at face value, they're clearly tools for Fez denizens to stamp out numbers and letters. This is implied by:

• Each face is unique.
• Each known number glyph corresponds to one of the number cube's faces in some orientation.
• Each known letter glyph corresponds to one of the writing cube's faces in some orientation.
• The raised portions of each face correspond to where ink appears when you normally see Fez-world writing.

Solution 2:

The writing cube and the counting cube [¡¡¡¡¡SPOILERS!!!!!] are used in the heart room, after collecting all 3 red cubes, if look at the writing cube and enter the code: LT RT RT LT RT LT LT LT and then look at the counting cube and enter the code: RT RT RT LT RT RT LT LT the red cube will disintegrate. Be careful, in the XBLA version this code may corrupt your savefile. It seems like nothing happens next, but I think there is still things to be discovered
