I handed in alpha to gamma pattern data an embarked on the 4 week long mission to decode the monolith data at the ruins.
In doing this (when decoding the 13th Language data set) it seemed clear to me that the ruins themselves are likely to be a Glyph. See below for text.
"All glyphs are symbols and are more abstract than hieroglyphics, but it is possible to identify a simple reference based on their shape" This makes me believe the ruins themselves may indicate a orbital system with 2 major stellar bodies (or possibly gas giants).
13 – The written form of the Guardians’ language is based on glyphs, each glyph representing a word. Glyphs seem to be able to be associated to describe complex concepts, while the integration of movements can also be used to add additional meaning. All glyphs are symbols and are more abstract than hieroglyphics, but it is possible to identify a simple reference based on their shape. For example, the glyph used to designate the moon shows the rising and falling moon as it appeared on the Guardian world.
