     Hallo,

It was a discontinued work that I started more than ten years ago and
had to stop, because other things got more importand - like now: excuse
me, but in the last days ...

Yes, it looked/looks like a graph - in an other meaning, more similar
to a Petri net, with triggers, possibility of infinite running, a
syntax which controls the connection of elements, and - important and
what I have forgot mention in the last mail - each
element/structure/word/? is part of a data flow with the ability of
changing data.
  It was written in C and for general purpose even though the first
test use was for composing music.

You can't exchange words like symbols. Words have some fixed built in.
The distinction between symbols and words and different kind of words
(action words, data words, "aspect of" words ...) - words in English,
German or Music
- maybe can lead to a new approach of thinking about designing new
programming languages ...


Something else:  'tree' and 'Baum' are highly onomatopoeic - as 'love',
'l'amour' and 'Liebe' and their differences. And this is a part of their
meaning. Perhaps it's a higher order onomatopoeic which determines the
(at least special) meaning of each word.
  Ok, words don't grasp anything (I read too quick). I know that words
are more than Symbols and have a non subjective determination. The
creation of meaning - is a question of belief, You can't a priori say:
a word or musical interval carries no meaning.
