I actually haven't thought about this.  I'd say that the Glyphica
Arcana encodes "conceptual structures."  That is the individual
glyphs represent concepts, which are then organized and placed in
patterns which correspond to normal linguistic sentences.  I
haven't done enough development at this point to begin linking
sentences into larger structures.

They provide the GA's grammar: coordination (conjunctions),
distinction (subject, object, adjective, etc.), transformation
(gerunds, infinitives, etc.), allocation (modifications on the
separate distinctions).

I don't think coordination markers count since they don't change
the meaning of the base glyph, but I actually think five
dimensions is conservative.
