The Manipulation of Symbolic Language

Proposition:  All language is symbolic.                                                                             May 31st, 2013



                                         
                      Proposition;                    All words are discreet entities, combinatorially rearrangeable.

                      Proof:              Therefore communication can function as a purely creative medium, always subject to reinvention.

    {If you have had a chance to look at, ppireaders.blogspot.com/Techniques and Technologies, you will have seen pretty math graphics. Each artifact was composed out of pre-existing symbols of math. There are only a few kinds of math functions that are usable. And with that a limiting gramar and syntax just like with all codes and languages.}

                     Here we have in the heading a kind of demonstration model. The Manipulation of Symbolic Language, is a perfect example of language as a creative medium spanning unrelated topics. Although this is a vague proposition, it is easy to prove by a kind of exercise.

                    Proposition:   The statement, The Manipulation of Symbolic Language, has three big words; Manipulation, Symbolic and Language. As a viral statement, "The Manipulation of Symbolic Language," is meaningless outside of a persons identification of what it means to them, if it is to mean anything at all .

                     Proof:            To some people, "The Manipulation of Symbolic Language," is about the abuse of language. Subterfuge. My subterfuge. While some may choose to read it as an indictment of the abuse of language for the purpose of spiritual exploitation, many read this differently. To many it means those terse terms in mathematics that can be reduced to expressions constructed like a code into equations and strings.  Math and Poetry can be intimidating to different people for different reasons. Yet as a creative medium, Symbolic Language is central to all language and communication. It has been said, "Everything is a metaphor." {I don't know what everything is a metaphor of, but....! [:~) lol  (LOL means laugh out loud, but most of you know that.) And of course the little smiley face "emoticom" well that too can be symbolic of something, like the fact that I'm not funny in print.}

                     If you have had a chance to look at, ppireaders.blogspot.com/Techniques and Technologies, you will have seen many pretty math graphics. Each was a combination of intentional mathematics and serendipity.

                     Proof:             I take, The Manipulation of Symbolic Language, to mean, making Art using Math and vice versa. I did this by manipulating the symbolic language of math as an artist would use tools in an artists studio. I would very much like to thank the makers of the "GRAPHICS CALCULATOR'' made by Pacific Tech. Along with "MATHEMATICA." I have had the privilege to have spent the last ten yrs. of my life studying mathematics which for me is poetry.

                     I'm a very slow thinker with occasional flashes of creative hutzpa. I achieve undeservedly what others can rarely dream. I just looked up hutzpa in my yiddish dictionary. Hutzpa is that quality which makes it possible for a man to kill both his father and mother only to throw himself on the mercy of the court, asking to be pardoned because he is now an orphan.

                     I use a kind of symbolic language to provide an analysis of each and every different person, "psychically?" I know I am going to be judged by the whims of popular opinion. Yet I appeal to the uniqueness of each persons preferences. To each hopefully in their own language. Be you a mathematician or a poet or just a washer person scrubbing stains off laundry, you are hopefully someone who is capable of detecting bullshit.

                     There are many degrees of freedom provided in symbolic languages. But in this same way there are very precise and limited ways in which I can construct strings to compose mathematical expressions. The code still means something to my computer. I can do it with equations or I can do it with computer code. To some of us, "Code is Poetry."

                     I can assure you people are even trickier. When I manipulate peoples cherished symbolic language I have to be very careful. It's actually easier to debug a piece of computer code than it is to show somebody that they are in denial. I'm creating a symbolic language to create a common platform for the "Proof" which can appeal to people of opposite opinion bias.
