Semantic Cubes

Language is not a line for transmitting meaning, but a dimensional structure for generating perception. 

Explanation of Cubic Modules in the Diagram

I. Conceptual Dimension

The small cubes embedded in both the phonogram and ideograph structures are visual metaphors for the modular nature of linguistic construction and semantic multiplicity. Each cube represents:

1. Structural ontology of language – Language as analyzable, recombinable units.

2. Polysemantic potential – A single sound or symbol may carry multiple meanings.

3. Nonlinear generation logic – Language unfolds through ambiguity, suggestion, and perceptual shifts, not just sequence.

II. Functional Layer

III. Representational Layer

By treating each cube as a semantic cube, we approach language not as a flat line but as a dimensional object:

• A word is a face.

• Multiple meanings are rotations across its faces.

• Generating language is about navigating within this symbolic volume.
  
  

Example – “Flow” can mean:

• Physical action – the stream of water

• Temporal progression – the passage of time

• Emotional movement – changes in feeling

• Sonic rhythm – breath, musicality

Each represents a different facet of meaning, embedded in one module.

I. 概念层

图中“音（Phonogram）”与“意（Ideograph）”结构中的小方块，是语言系统中形式与意义的可视化编码单元。它代表：

1. 语言的结构性本体：每个字/词都是可以被拆分、组合、分析的单位。

2. 语义的多维张力：一个音或一个字，不是单义的，而是拥有多种解释路径与感知接口。

生成逻辑的非线性映射：语言生成不是线性推进，而是基于选择、跳跃、联想、多义的分布式展开。

II. 功能层

III. 表达层

将小方块视为语言的“立方体结构”可以帮助我们理解语言不仅是线性的句法流，而是一个可嵌套的空间结构：

• 一个字是一个面（face）；
  
  

• 多义是多个面之间的旋转（rotation）；
  
  

• 生成语言的过程是探索这个立方体内部空间的过程。
  
  

例如：“流”可以是：

• 动作 → 水流
  
  

• 状态 → 时间的推移
  
  

• 情感 → 情绪的转化
  
  

• 声音 → 呼吸的节奏
  
  

每一个“流”都代表一个小立方体的不同“打开方式”。

总结（Conclusion）

图中的每一个小方块就是这一理念的视觉体现 ——
它让我们看到一个词如何被“拆开”，也如何成为感知与思维的发生场。
