I was listening to a neuro-linquistic teacher talk about learning, words, and communication, and wondered a new thought for me :-) Can we actually mathematically model the linguistic communication process, so that we can write equations to describe how words and concepts get conveyed.

For instance, couldn't there be an initial distinction, between static entities, and dynamic energy, where dynamic words and concepts are the ones which convey a sense of the flow of Time, the Tao. So words could be classified to either have no sense of time flow, or a sense of flow... a male female distinction of sorts... a 1 or 0 for a static or dynamic evoking concept or word. Might not there be some weird , yet undocumented patterns where something like a sequence of static and dynamic words, can actually be codified, so that a sentence of speech can be turned into an actual equation, in the form of variables transforming themselves into the future... a time-flow-equation.

Well, has cabin stir-craziness set in for me yet? :-)

Is there an Institute for Time Flow studies?, a Perl module??? heh heh :-)

I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth.
