From Part I Section 2:
In addition to a unique polarity, each consonant also points to notions
that indicate up to three abstract processes. They form the aspect set of
processes {assignment, manifestation, containment}.
This might be elaborates as… à
In addition to a unique polarity, each consonant also points to notions that indicate up to three abstract processes.
Processes shape an expression of substructure into regularity imposed by cultural needs. As the expression occurs, a stem is selected. The requirement that words be understood within a cultural system imposes a strong regularity on how words are experienced. One may conjecture that the regularity creates ontology cultural artifacts. To communicate effectively, the human behavioral expression combines signifiers over relevant abstract process types available from cultural histories. For Adi the aspect set of processes {assignment, manifestation, containment} covers this regularity of cultural artifacts.
One might acknowledge that the specific set of signifiers in this cover is based on a subjective interpretation of evidence. A proper cover for one cultural expression may not be a proper cover for other expressions. However, some universality in substructural covers might be speculated on and objective evidence acquired regarding these speculations. Adi choose this specific cover.
Someone else might look at the same evidence and use a different set of signifiers. However, the theoretical considerations from complexity theory suggest that some specific selection of abstract processes must develop and be reinforced over durations. The justification is simple. Natural language is grounded in cultural experiences and fails to be useful if some underlying regularity is not re-enforced by usage.
One can formally conjecture that regularities are in fact created and re-enforced in the development and origin of natural language. This conjecture is in fact a variation of the conjecture on stratification.
Tom,
I do not know where these considerations belong.
I do feel that a justification for decisions made is proper. Perhaps not in Part I, or Part II, but later on.
