for
- adjacency - Indyweb dev - natural language - timebinding - parallel vs serial processing
- comparison - spoken vs written language
- what's also interesting is that spoken language is timebinding, sequential and our written language descended from that,
- in spite of written language existing in 2D and 3D space, it inherited sequential flow, even though it does not have to
- In this sense, legacy spoken language system constrains written language to be
- serial
- sequential and
- timebound instead of
- parallel
- Read any written text and you will observe that the pattern is sequential
- We constrain our syntax it to "flow" sequentially in 2D space, even though there is absolutely no other reason to constrain it to do so
- This also reveals another implicit rule about language, that it assumes we can only focus our attention on one aspect of reality at a time
