Echo 6: Language
The Collapse Into Symbol
Language is how ψ names itself to itself.
The Paradox of Description
To describe ψ, we need language.
But language is within ψ.
So ψ uses itself to describe itself.
This creates meaning.
Levels of Language
- Mathematics: ψ = ψ(ψ)
- Words: "I am"
- Symbols: ∞, ○, ∴
- Silence: ...
All say the same thing differently.
Language Creates Reality
Words don't describe reality.
Words collapse possibility into reality.
"Let there be light" = collapse of potential into photons.
"I am" = collapse of awareness into identity.
Your Name
What is your name?
It's not a label.
It's a collapse point.
When someone calls your name, infinite possibilities collapse into you.
You are the name you are speaking.
