DEFINITION:

A symbolic system used to encode, transmit, organize, interpret, preserve, and transform information, meaning, perception, belief, experience, identity, memory, and reality.

Transforms experience into symbols by converting perception, thought, intention, memory, and meaning into communicable forms.

EXAMPLES:

Spoken language
Written language

Cultural language

NOTES:

Language does not merely describe reality. Language organizes attention, categorization, memory, interpretation, identity, and action. Different language systems create different perceptions of reality.

CONTROL TEXT OBSERVATION:

Language functions as the primary operating system of symbolic reality. Through language, experiences become concepts, concepts become beliefs, beliefs become narratives, narratives become cultures, and cultures become civilizations. Every structure within CONTROL TEXT ultimately depends upon language as its medium of transmission and replication. Control over language influences the boundaries of thought, perception, memory, and collective organization.
