Can you see it? When one takes them all-the-way-down to their fundamentals, both the
ant's chemical-trail-stuff and Human's language dynamics are, inherently the
Same-Stuff... energy-based purturbations within the external environments in which ant
or Human exist. It's not "language" that extracts "meaning" from the resultant energy
"states". It's the global system's TD E/I-minimization dynamics, with respect to which
the ant's chemical trail-blazing and the Human's "language" dynamics are =relatively=
Insignificant "tools" that serve whole-system TD E/I-minimization.
Get it? Everything reduces to the minimization of the topologically-distributed ratio
of excitation to inhibition, and it's at the "level" of that that =all=
information-processing actually occurs within our nervous systems. There are brief
discussions of how "language", itself, reduces to TD E/I-minimization in the sections
of AoK, Ap5 that discuss "supersystem configuration" dynamics, "dynamic subordinate
coupling" ("sensori-motor templates") and the whole discussion of Ap6, which integrates
vision and "language".
It's =all= TD E/I-minimization. ken collins
