The Software Called Language

Good morning, Twfw. O/

A good night's sleep, an easy morning, thanks for joining me.

What words do and are for... the focus of these morning pages.

A strange thing to be aware of, but with Artificial Intelligence now a reality it's important to remember what words actually are.

We take an experience of life and give it a symbol so we can share it. Because we can share it we can build with our common understanding of it.

A word is always a representative of an experience and not the experience itself.

Artists and creative thinkers help us expand the definitions of our words so they better define the full experience of life in each word.

It's how we grow as a race. We update the software called Language.

AI is never right, only acceptable or not.

Information is never finished.

Keep creating and redefining, Artists. Evolution depends on your acts.

Every time Science updates its understanding is a creative act in the world of Language.

Science is in and of itself a kind of dull repeatable poetry to help us build with what we sense.

But there are experiences of Life that transcend what Science can do. What Love and Dreams are for are a couple examples. The existence of the question 'Why?' is the reason for Art and what Science leaves out.

Why music works at all is the reason and inspiration for every musician.

Why the arrangements of certain symbols on a screen or page elicit certain emotions in a reader is the reason and inspiration for my work.

I can have grand dreams of dragons fantasies galore, and share them with you through symbols and shapes arranged in such a way that they change the quality of your whole day and maybe whole life. (I do have and am working on some now, btw.)

Why words work and what they're for is the focus of my life.

And why Wonder Fell exists.

Thanks for reading.
