THE ABSTRACT BECOMES POSSIBLE. “Without verbal language our mental life would be reduced to feelings, emotions, and the processing of our perceptions as is the case with all other forms of life. Verbal language makes conceptualization, abstraction and reflection possible.” https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-59177-9_13 View in LinkedIn

NUMBER EVOLUTION. “The next step in the evolution of numerical notation were three-dimensional clay accounting tokens that archeologist Denise Schmandt-Besserat discovered in the Fertile Crescent of Mesopotamia between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers that were used from 8000 BCE to about 3000 BCE.” https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-59177-9_13 View in LinkedIn

POWER OF LANGUAGE. “Language is not the passive container or medium of human thought whose only function is to transmit and communicate our ideas and sentiments from one person to another. Language is a “living vortices of power”, which shapes and transforms our thinking. Language is both a system of communications and an informatics tool.” https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-59177-9_13 View in LinkedIn

ROOTS IN NUMBERS. “Not only did mathematical thinking lead to verbal language but it also gave rise to written language through the development of mathematical notation. The very first notation for recording quantities were tally sticks. The tally stick, however, gave no indication of what was being tallied but they were the first forms of notated concrete numbers.” https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-59177-9_13 View in LinkedIn

EMERGENT SYSTEMS. “It is not possible to determine the causal linkage between the primitive form of set theory and verbal language. It is not that set theory caused verbal language to emerge or that language allowed set theory to emerge. Rather we would claim, invoking complexity theory and emergent dynamics, that mathematical set theory and verbal language self-organized into an emergent supervenient system.” https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-59177-9_13 View in LinkedIn

SETS AS A PRECONDITION. “We further suggest that verbal language emerged as a primitive form of set theory in that a set of percepts that are associated with each other or are similar are linked together with a word acting as a concept that unites all the members of that set. In a certain sense the primitive form of set theory we just described seems to be a pre-condition for the emergence of verbal language.” https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-59177-9_13 View in LinkedIn

TRANSITION. “We suggest that the brain before verbal language was merely a percept processor and that afterwards it was able to conceptualize, i.e. operate with concepts. Each concept linked all the percepts associated with that concept.” https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-59177-9_13 View in LinkedIn

SETS AND WORDS. “The skill that made language possible and allowed a word acting as a concept to represent all of the percepts associated with that word was the mathematical ability to create sets, the set of all the percepts associated with that word.” https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-59177-9_13 View in LinkedIn
