Language. Unlimited? Possibly. Perfect? Not Likely.
Three Lefts don’t make a
Right, but they do make a Square, and may even be potentially responsible for
the genesis of Digitized Circles
Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about little squares. Little squares are easily constructed using
very simple mathematics. If we agree( at least in the alien world of computer
innards), that little squares, built by 0 and 1 constructors, are capable of
manipulating sensory perception to such an extent that most people don't ever
consider basic concepts like "curved is a sequence of
straights". "Arcs" are
manifests of carefully arranged straight lines, with enough straight lines, we
can create such a density of "straights", that Sensorially, we
perceive what appear to be images that look nothing like squares or straight
lines.
