Is there a mathematical model that can make any sense of your rambling?

My first thought at a model, from my ingrained Catholic grade school training, would be the sentence diagraming model, that we all used to do on the blackboards.

Words all become objects, which can either be standalone or modifiers for other objects. These word objects all would have multiple state variables, which would indicate the subtle nuances in meaning for the object's current usage, maybe stored in a set of AoA's.

The ultimate goal would be to make a universal language, which conveys conventional linquistic concepts, thru mathematical relations. Like ship 3 crates of grapes to America, would end up $ship( crates,3, seedless ) ; $to( America, ocean-container, refrigerated)

It would probably evolve into some sort of heiroglyphic-like pictogram communication, where a series of properly placed and aligned data sets, or pictograms, would evoke a concept in the receiver's mind.... like those international signs for bathroom, or taxi-stand, or food courts.

I guess I'm trying to convey concepts with data sets arranged in a clever order, much the way pictograms are used for international signage.


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