Languages & Literature — The Architecture of Human Meaning
The Central Idea
This realm is designed differently from the sciences. We are not studying an external object; we are studying one of humanity's greatest technologies: the ability to turn an internal thought into a symbol that another mind can receive. Language is the encoding of abstract thought into transmissible symbols, carrying lore, emotion and philosophy across generations.
