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.

Language is the technology by which one consciousness leaves a pattern inside another consciousness.
