Life, Math, Linguistics ToE, one

 

 

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

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.

Generative Grammar

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

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

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

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

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

  1. Focus and Scope: The Life System extends beyond the above traditional theories to include intelligence and the coexistence of contradictions as fundamental components.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

  1. Preexisting State: DNA acts as the information warehouse for life, existing in pairs (mirror images of each other). Cytoplasm serves as the life soup.
  2. 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.
