Just a small point:
>* Language is not used only by humans [for the millionth time].
>and maybe another:
>* The form is no less important then content since old Greece to today. The
>question was [is], what is the best way to convey a world picture. Aristo
>tried to change from a narrative mode [mythology], to a buildingblock mode
>[definitions]. This way things interrelate better then in mythology.
>SPQ [static patterns of quality] are an option substitute definitions who
>failed because of their over static nature [lack of dynamism]. SPQ is a
>building block too.
>Last point:
>* Language was looked at as barrier from the very beginning [as insuring
>that
>intellectual stuff remain inside a social layer], see the myth of the tower
>of Babylon as an example.
>Definitions are not language dependent, SPQ are not language dependant
[they
>can be conveyed in every language]. They are forms.
>But language has in its form, a "metaphysical luggage" that gets in the
way.
>That's why I offered in the "next freedom" freedom of language which in
>theories as agent could relate to other theories and exchange data without
>the metaphysical burden of language.
>In science they tried to introduce "terms" as metaphysically free lingual
>entities, but it failed, because they could not create a world of terms
>without the narrative of how they relate to one another [theories]. And
>theories are "language ridden".
