LOL, @Redrock12 , I'm glad you're "hooked"! And you described very well how I feel about it too. I don't even understand the plot of the "novel"! Every question opens up 10 others, and sometimes I confess I don't quite know which one(s) to focus on next. It's too ambitious a project to want to get to THE truth or what language is, THE truth of its history, THE truth of how it all works. (Not to mention that I'm not the "academic type" to begin with.) But I think it's worth exploring, one question or clue at a time, and see where it leads us. Language is such an important part of who we are, that MAYBE, it can give us clues about our own existence. Or at the very least, it can be one of the domains in which we see that our cosmogony explains things a bit better than mainstream theories. We'll see!
This last month or so, I haven't had much time to read a lot. But I'm currently reading all I can on language and thought, and how they influence each other. I think that there are clues there, and that ultimately, they also relate to sounds, even though as far as I can tell, nobody has made the connection. So, lots to discover yet! And hopefully you guys will like the topic, as it relates to how we are "strangers to ourselves", programmed, yet capable of learning and perfecting our "reading instrument" at all stages of our lives.
On that note.... "To be continued...."
