for - adjacency - Indyweb dev - natural language - timebinding - parallel vs serial processing - comparison - spoken vs written language - what's also interesting is that spoken language is timebinding, sequential and our written language descended from that, - in spite of written language existing in 2D and 3D space, it inherited sequential flow, even though it does not have to - In this sense, legacy spoken language system constrains written language to be - serial - sequential and - timebound instead of - parallel - Read any written text and you will observe that the pattern is sequential - We constrain our syntax it to "flow" sequentially in 2D space, even though there is absolutely no other reason to constrain it to do so - This also reveals another implicit rule about language, that it assumes we can only focus our attention on one aspect of reality at a time
