A model to rethink languages

Language as a Medium for Conception and Manifestation

The relationship between language and thought has been a topic of philosophical debate for centuries. Some philosophers, such as Wittgenstein, have argued that language is simply a tool for expressing thoughts that already exist in our minds. Others, such as Chomsky, have argued that language plays a more active role in shaping our thoughts.

In this essay, I will argue that language is the most crucial medium for the journey between conception and manifestation. I will first discuss the three phases of existence that I believe all post-natural objects go through: pre-conception, conceptual, and physical. I will then argue that language is essential for the transition from the conceptual to the physical phase. Finally, I will discuss the implications of my hypothesis for our understanding of innovation and the limitations of language.

The Three Phases of Existence

I believe that all post-natural objects go through three phases of existence: pre-conception, conceptual, and physical. The pre-conception phase is the phase in which the object exists only as an idea in someone's mind. The conceptual phase is the phase in which the object is fully formed in the mind, but it has not yet been manifested in the physical world. The physical phase is the phase in which the object exists as a physical entity in the world.

The pre-conception phase is a very creative phase. It is the phase in which new ideas are born. The conceptual phase is a more structured phase. In this phase, the idea is refined and given a more concrete form. The physical phase is the phase in which the idea is finally manifested in the world.

The Role of Language in the Conceptual Phase

I believe that language is essential for the transition from the conceptual to the physical phase. Language allows us to communicate our ideas to others, and it allows us to think about our ideas in a more structured way. When we put our ideas into words, we are forced to clarify them and to think about them in a more rigorous way. This helps us to identify any flaws in our thinking, and it helps us to refine our ideas.

For example, let's say that you have an idea for a new invention. You might start by thinking about the idea in your head, but as you think about it more, you will start to realize that you need to be more specific. You need to think about the details of the invention, such as how it would work, what materials it would be made of, and how it would be used. You also need to think about the potential benefits of the invention and the challenges that you might face in bringing it to market.

As you think about these things, you will start to refine your idea. You might come up with new ideas for how the invention could work, or you might realize that some of your original ideas were not feasible. This process of refinement is essential for bringing an idea from the conceptual to the physical phase.

Another possible question to the more refined linguist I’d have is: Are there ways to "downgrade" our ideas so that they can be understood by species of different bands of cognitive measures. This is important if we want to share our ideas with other species, and if we want to help other species to innovate.
