Hi all, this may be of interest in that it covers general language
development from extending mediation dynamics beyond identification of
categories etc. At this level we are dealing with generic categories and so
a general language/proto-language development but it does show how language
emerges naturally from any self-referencing and so from our neurological
levels pre the spoken/written forms and so development of symbols.
In the context of a focus on understanding the roots of meaning and language
from the perspective of the neurology, I have been able to identify a basic
level grounded in the dynamics of the Chaos game (containment of noise
elicits spontaneous order through self-referencing - e.g. see
chapter 6 ("The Chaos Game: How Randomness Creates Deterministic Shapes")
of:
Peitgen, Jurgens, & Saupe (2004)"Chaos and Fractals : New Frontiers of
Science(2nd Edition)" Springer
OR

My original focus was on (a) giving AI systems a sense of basic meaning out
of which to develop local languages across such systems and (b) a 'species
101' course for humans in understanding the general dynamics of meaning
derivation PRIOR to specialisation.
The emphasis was in reviewing current neuroscience research and starting
from that research to see where it takes us.
This chaos-game dynamic is manifest in oscillations from sensory systems to
basic neurons and all the way 'up' to our neocortex. These oscillations
cover acts of self-referencing a dichotomy (differentiating/integrating aka
WHAT/WHERE) as an act of mediation and with that bring out a pool of
categories of meaning.
*Given enough self-referencing* (6+ loops minimum) these categories form
into a language through the ability to use analogies with all of the
categories to derive details on any one category. Most category systems
derived today have not gone far enough in their distinction-making, nor
ordered enough - too much ad-hoc development - to bring out this property of
language development from 'mechanistic' self-referencing.
As such self-referencing has a property that aids in avoiding infinite
regress where such avoidance comes out of properties of symmetry (closed
system) - reflection, repetition, rotation - where such is manifest in, for
example, bit pattern dynamics using the XOR operator that map to rotations
of sets of categories formed from using self-referencing of the 0/1
dichotomy. What this does is give us a 'spectrum' of a category, and so a
form of 'parts list' that aids in fleshing out details without going through
more loops of self-referencing to elicit more categories.
By understanding the mediation process we can derive an abstract listing of
all POSSIBLE mediation forms/strategies where it is the introduction of
local context that then gives us meaning and a customised language to
communicate across that local context (this includes such languages as
Mathematics) - see:
