Observations:

Alpha (Α) and Omega (Ω) bracket all being — the beginning and the end. Christ claims both in Revelation, unifying Greek language with divine Logos.
Chi (Χ) and Rho (Ρ) are early Christian symbols for Christ (Chi-Rho ☧).
Many letters reflect cosmic forces: Mu for water/emotion, Theta for death/cycle, Phi for divine proportion.
Letters like Delta (Δ) and Tau (Τ) mark thresholds — a door and a cross respectively.
