arXiv:2608.03127v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Hand motion carries the finest-grained information in human activity, yet the representations behind hand generation, understanding, and robot learning are overwhelmingly continuous--joint angles or MANO parameters. These are accurate but unstructured: a finger cannot be indexed or edited as a symbol, and nothing marks a pose as anatomically valid. Discrete symbolic representations supply exactly this structure, and Hand Labanotation (HL) has shown they are feasible for the hand, writing motion as a T x 40 grid of one fixed direction symbol per bone. Building on this grid, we ask the question underneath it: the anatomical unit a symbol should span--bone, finger, or whole hand. DigitCode answers it by adapting, grouping, and layering HL's alphabet along the hand's unit hierarchy within one code, cutting the symbolic representation's quantization error by three quarters.
