it becomes clear that language
it becomes clear that language
in it's current development
does not reflect this reality.

Representing spatial movement
horizontally (behind-now-forward)
horizontally (behind-now-forward)
and time vertically (past-
present-future) a sentence
present-future) a sentence
such as 'I go to work' becomes
..I..........go...........to...............work
I-I-I..go-go-go..to-to-to..work-work-work
..I..........go...........to...............work
for small increments of space and time.
Other words could
be inserted for greater increments,
be inserted for greater increments,
such as
......I...............quickly............to...........break
late I-I-frenzied I..stroll-walk-run...
to-to-to...work-work-work
.10 min ago I..........slowly...........
.10 min ago I..........slowly...........
to..........start-work
One can see the possibility for
greater expressiveness, with the
invention of shorter symbols
invention of shorter symbols
for space and time.
