Time Dilation in Language
We are subject to time dilation effects due to gravity and movement.
These are documented through our sciences.
The same effects also change the nature of human communication and language.
Time dilation in the physical world occurs when individual viewers sensory inputs relating to the same events are compared and produce different but complementary descriptions.
In communication the same effects are manifested in sensory input to output time dilation that alters the nature of human language and its potential to describe actual events occurring in real, universal, time.
To describe the past is to describe it in terms of transited time. Once a sensory input constructs a synaptic link and this pattern is described to another human through communication time has passed from the original sensory input and so the past event is described in relative past terms.
The recipient of the past communication receives the information and then processes it in relation to their own previous sensory inputs. If they understand the description being provided then communication occurs. If not then the process repeats. In either case the event is described in relative past terms.
To describe the present is to describe it in terms of transitory time. Once a sensory input constructs a synaptic link and this pattern is described to another human through communication time has passed from the original sensory input and so the event is described in relative past terms.
The recipient of the present communication receives the information and then processes it in relation to their own previous sensory inputs. If they understand the description being provided then communication occurs. If not then the process repeats. In either case the event is described in relative past terms.
To describe the future is to describe it in terms of transition time. Once a sensory input constructs a synaptic link and this pattern is described to another human through communication time has passed from the original sensory input and so the proposed future event is described in relative past terms.
The recipient of the future communication receives the information and then processes it in relation to their own previous sensory inputs. If they understand the description being provided then communication occurs. If not then the process repeats. In either case the event is described in relative past terms.
All language is therefore a communication of previous transited, transitory or transition sensory events and subject to relative time dilation.
