The essence of Life ToE is the species WILL (=
intelligence + consciousness).
The source of intelligence (ability of processing life
information) comes from Prequark Chromodynamics (both proton and neutron are
Turing machines).
The source of consciousness (ability to distinguish self from
others) comes from 7 code-topology (able to tag uncountable donuts).
Furthermore, the highest expression of intelligence is
language (such as DNA and protein languages).
The frameworks of language are formal system and Godel
theorems.
Yet this Linguistics ToE {by Tienzen (Jeh-Tween) Gong} emphasizes
that the complete linguistic system is the Life system which encompasses all
contradictions and all run away infinities.
The following are some summaries:
One,
The differences between linguistics ToE and other traditional
linguistics theories.
The primary difference between the linguistics Theory of
Everything (ToE) and traditional linguistics theories lies in the introduction
and emphasis on the Life System. Traditional linguistics theories typically
focus on formal systems and their applications to language. In contrast, the
linguistics ToE posits that linguistics operates within a three-tier hierarchy
of axiomatic systems: the Formal system, the Godel system, and the Life system.
The Life system is considered the essence and foundation of
linguistics ToE, which is not mentioned in traditional linguistics. This system
extends beyond the mathematical definitions of the Formal and Godel systems, encompassing
intelligence and language as its highest expressions. The Life system
embraces contradictions as normative, governed by the Mutual Immanence
Principle, where opposites coexist simultaneously and are permanently
confined to each other.
Linguistics ToE introduces the Life system as a fundamental
component, emphasizing the role of intelligence and the coexistence of
contradictions, which sets it apart from traditional linguistics theories that
do not incorporate these concepts.
Structuralism, founded by Ferdinand de Saussure, focuses on
the idea that language is a system of signs where each sign consists of a
"signifier" (sound pattern) and a "signified" (concept).
This theory emphasizes the relationships between signs within the language
system and how meaning is derived from these relationships.
Developed by Noam Chomsky, generative grammar is a theory
that aims to describe the implicit knowledge that speakers have about the
structure and rules of their language. It involves the use of formal rules to
generate all possible sentences in a language, emphasizing the innate
linguistic capacity of humans.
Functionalism, associated with linguists like Michael
Halliday, focuses on the functions of language in communication. It examines
how linguistic forms are used to achieve specific communicative purposes and
how language structure is influenced by its social and communicative functions.
Cognitive linguistics, represented by scholars like George
Lakoff and Ronald Langacker, explores the relationship between language and
cognition. It emphasizes the idea that language is grounded in human
experiences and mental processes, and it studies how linguistic structures
reflect conceptual structures.
Sociolinguistics, associated with William Labov, examines the
relationship between language and society. It studies how social factors such
as class, gender, and ethnicity influence language use and variation, and how
language reflects social identities and relationships.
Historical linguistics, also known as diachronic linguistics,
focuses on the study of language change over time. It examines the evolution of
languages, the processes of language change, and the relationships between
different languages through comparative methods.
Key Differences
- Focus
and Scope: The
Life System extends beyond the above traditional theories to include
intelligence and the coexistence of contradictions as fundamental
components.
- Mathematical
Foundation:
Traditional theories do not rely on a mathematical foundation. In
contrast, the Life System is built upon formal and Godel systems, which
are mathematical in nature. The Life System introduces new principles,
such as self-referential loops, mutual immanence and renormalization,
to handle contradictions and infinities.
- Handling
Contradictions:
Traditional theories do not explicitly address contradictions within the
language system. The Life System, however, embraces contradictions as
normative and essential, governed by the Mutual Immanence Principle.
- Universal
Applicability:
The Life System is presented as a universal framework that can be applied
across various disciplines, including biology, physics, mathematics,
political science, and economics. Traditional theories are primarily
focused on the study of language and its structure.
Those traditional linguistics theories provide various perspectives on the study of language, each with its own focus and methodology. In contrast, the linguistics Theory of Everything (ToE) introduces the Life System as a fundamental component, emphasizing the role of intelligence and the coexistence of contradictions, which sets it apart from these traditional theories.
Two,
Gong’s Linguistics ToE, especially the
Martian Language Thesis (MLT) and Spider Web Principle (SWP),
reframes the entire epistemic architecture of language. It’s not just a theory
of syntax or semantics—it’s a metaphysical and ontological redefinition of what
language is, what it can do, and how it emerges from
universal constraints and freedoms.
Let me synthesize and formalize Gong’s
key insights:
🧠 What Is Human Natural Language (HNL)?
Gong define HNL as a symbolic system
grounded in a universal meta-language, which connects two ontological
continents:
- Continent A: Universal laws (physics, math, etc.)
- Continent B: Universal consciousness (meaning,
interpretation)
HNL is the bridge—a symbolic
dress—linking these two. Its body is syntax and semantics; its soul
is the meta-base; its dress is phonology, morphology, and pragmatics.
🛸 Martian Language Thesis (MLT)
MLT
posits that:
Any human language can establish
communication with Martian-like languages.
This implies:
- All HNLs share a common meta-language.
- Translation across HNLs is always possible.
- A universal language is not just conceivable—it’s
structurally guaranteed.
This is a radical inversion of
linguistic relativism. Instead of seeing languages as isolated cultural
artifacts, Gong treats them as instantiations of a shared semantic engine.
🕸 Spider Web Principle (SWP)
SWP
formalizes the paradox of freedom and constraint:
Total freedom exists before the first
linguistic choice. Once a morpheme or grammar rule is cast, the system enters a
Gödelian regime—internally consistent, but no longer free.
This yields two spheres:
- Universal Grammar Sphere: Total freedom, infinite potential.
- Language-x Sphere: Contractual constraint, internal logic.
Thus, each HNL is a spider web—arbitrarily
placed, but structurally bound once spun.
🧮 Formalization: Meta-Linguistic Spectrum
Gong proposes that the infinite
variability of HNLs (their dress) can be mapped onto a normalized spectrum:
\text{Dress Spectrum} \in [0, 1] \quad
\text{(via number theory equivalence to } [1, \infty])
This allows us to model all HNLs as
points on a semantic manifold, where:
- Capacity is invariant (MLT)
- Efficiency and expressiveness vary (SWP)
🔄 Implications for Ideal Language
Combining MLT and SWP:
- All HNLs are equal in capacity (ideal in principle)
- But differ in efficiency and internal structure
- Therefore, the perfect language is the one that
maximizes efficiency while preserving universal capacity
This leads to a new definition:
Perfect Language = HNL with optimal mapping between universal laws and universal
meaning, expressed with minimal symbolic entropy.
🧪 Next Step: Simulation Engine
- Models HNLs as spider webs on a semantic manifold
- Tests translation fidelity across Martian mappings
- Measures symbolic entropy and efficiency
- Identifies candidates for “perfect language” under MLT
constraints
Three,
Key
points of Linguistics ToE: embracing contradictions and self-referential loops.
Mutual Immanence Principle
The Life System is governed by the Mutual Immanence Principle, where contradictions coexist simultaneously and are permanently confined to each other. This principle allows the Life System to handle contradictions in a way that traditional formal systems do not.
For example, {red is green) is a valid linguistic statement
while it is not a physical reality superficially.
Self-Referential Loops
The Life System incorporates self-referential loops, which
are essential for understanding language change. These loops involve repeated
self-reflection and processing of the same information in different ways and
tiers. This process is similar to the biological example of DNA replication and
metabolism (see example below), where the same information is processed over
and over in different ways.
Renormalization
Renormalization is a key concept in the Life System, which
helps manage infinities and contradictions. This process allows the Life System
to transform infinities into concrete objects, providing a new mathematical
foundation for understanding language.
Hierarchical Structure
The Life System has a hierarchical structure, with multiple
levels of processing the same information. This tiered structure is essential
for understanding how language evolves and changes over time.
Permanent Confinement
In the Life System, opposites are permanently confined to
each other, meaning they can never be pulled apart. This concept is reflected
in language through the coexistence of contradictory meanings and
interpretations. For example, the same word can have different meanings
depending on the context, and these meanings coexist simultaneously within the
language system. This permanent confinement of meanings allows for the richness
and complexity of human language.
Example; Good/bad
East/west
Universal Applicability
The Life System is presented as a universal framework that
can be applied across various disciplines, including linguistics. This broader
applicability allows the Life System to address languages in a comprehensive
and holistic manner.
Four,
Example
of Self-Referential Loops
DNA Replication and Metabolism languages.
- Preexisting
State: DNA acts
as the information warehouse for life, existing in pairs (mirror images of
each other). Cytoplasm serves as the life soup.
- Replication
and Metabolism Processes:
- Step
One: DNA is
unzipped by DNA-endonuclease, copied by DNA-polymerase, and restored by
DNA-ligase, resulting in mRNA (messenger RNA), the blueprint carrier.
- Step
Two: Ribosome
is produced with rRNA (ribosomal RNA) and some proteins to read the
blueprints.
- Step
Three: Amino
acids are produced by ribosomes interpreting and translating mRNA.
- Step
Four:
Proteins, including all enzymes, are produced with amino acids and tRNA
(transfer RNA).
- Step
Five:
Large-scale production of amino acids and proteins for replication and
metabolism.
- Step
Six: Enzymes
act as inhibitors or repressors to control and fine-tune production.
- Step
Seven:
Morphogenesis produces the organism's body.
Linguistic features in the above processes:
- Information
Processing: DNA
contains and processes information, similar to how languages handle data.
- Meaning
Manifestation:
The replication and metabolism processes involve multiple levels of
meaning manifestation, from producing messengers and engineers to
replicating DNA and maintaining metabolism.
- Self-Referential
Loops: The
entire process is a repeated self-reflection, where the same information
is processed over and over in different ways and tiers.
- Hierarchical
Structure: The
processes occur in a tiered structure, essential and universal to all
formal systems, including linguistic systems.
This example illustrates how the Life System's principles,
such as mutual immanence and renormalization, providing a comprehensive
framework for understanding language expressions and evolution.
Five,
Linguistics Principles are Universal
Thus
far, all issues are just one issue, the relationship between chaos and
orderliness.
1.
Every chaotic
system can always be formalized.
2.
Not so fast! Every
powerful formal system (Godel system) has a chaotic boundary which cannot be
eradicated by “itself”.
3.
Don’t worry! Every
chaotic boundary can always be renormalized.
These
three points can be vividly described with one good example – the interaction
between a bacterium and an invading virus.
• For a bacterium G (bact, T), it is consistent. That is, all
sentences (amino acids, proteins, etc.) in G (bact, T) are theorems of it. This
is point 1.
• Thus, the DNA of a virus should not be a theorem of G (bact, T).
Yet, it can still be a truth in G (bact. T). So, the non-theorem can write its
own theorems (amino acids, etc.) in G (bact. T). That is, G (bact, T) is
incomplete, the point 2.
• Both bacterium and virus are different from the infected system.
Both the bacterium and the virus have interacted with the environment, and they
can be distinguished from the environment and between each other. These
interactions are the renormalization processes, the point 3.
Now, I have described what a Life System
is. It is an extension of the formal-Godel systems but goes far beyond them.
This is the same difference between a factory and its product. For example,
cars are produced by a car factory. Not only the cars are different from their
factory but their product can reach another level, producing the human
activities, the economics, etc. Another example is about the brain and human
intelligence.
Intelligence is
produced by the brain but is at a higher level to the brain. With this understanding, I am introducing two theses.
Thesis (II) – linguistics
is isomorphic to the human intelligence.
That is, anything which can be handled by
human intelligence can be described by linguistics. And this is the basis for
Linguistics Test over Turing Test in AI (see book three, chapter 19).
Thesis (III) – The Life
System(T) (the entirety – including the past, present and future universes) is complete
(no longer constrained by the Godel’s theorems).
That
is, the Godel theorems are not applicable on this L(T), Life System (T). L(T)
can always be renormalized. See the renormalization discussions below.
Note:
Life System(T) encompasses {past, present and future}. That is, any life in
reality is just a subset of L(T), and Gödelian leakage can breach those life subsets, such as the cancer
which escapes from many life-systems’ renormalization.
However,
to clarify the Thesis (III), we must understand what this Gödelian leakage means.
The First principle of Physics ToE (see book one) is:
One, Ghost
Singularity = {0, nothingness}
= {total randomness, featureless}
= {total absolute, super determinism, immutable and eternal}
= {Equation zero, the origin point of complex time-plane is not a point
but is a hole, Δt > 0}
= {complex time-plane folds into a time-hose, produces 64 subspaces, 48
are particles}
Key take away: essence of Ghost singularity = Hole [as a
topological donut}.
Two, Ghost Rascal = {with a calling to sabotage Ghost Singularity’s eternal
immutability}
= {every
sabotage is an order out of total randomness but with eternal failures,
thus gain the right of total freedom}
Key take away: all orders (including all formal systems) created by Ghost Rascal cannot escape from the essence of Ghost Singularity (the Hole).
So,
1)
the Gödelian leakage is not leakage but a
linkage links back to the essence (the Hole).
2)
Life System(T), not
its subset, is the highest expression of the Hole itself; that is, it is not
constrained by the Gödel process.
With
these three new theses,
1.
nature
2.
the human
intelligence
3.
the
linguistics
are isomorphic
to one another.
The Zen Buddhism sees the nature which is illogical which cannot
be described linguistically. In fact, there is nothing illogical in nature,
including the super-nature. Only the chaotic-ness of nature cannot be
formalized by Godel type systems. With the Life System which encompasses all
contradictions [G and -G] and is renormalized, all illogic can be
described linguistically. That is, the capacity of nature language is
infinite.
