The Days of Decipherment

The Days of Decipherment

TANAKA Akio

On 20 July 2016 I went Tokyo National Museum, Ueno Park, Tokyo to see the exhibition AJOURNEY TO THE IMMORTALS: TREASURES OF ANCIENT GREECE, where I saw the linear A and B. It reminds me the youth days, so to say, the days of decipherment.

1960s -1970s is the age of decipherment in a sense. I was age 20 in 1967 and was learning language and literature at university. In 1958 John Chadwick's THE DECIPHERMENT OF LINEAR B was published from Cambridge University Press. At the preface of the book he wrote that the decipherment of linear B was told  at Documents in Mycenaean Greek (Cambridge University Press, 1956) and Michael Ventris that deciphered the Linear B.

In the same age in Japan, Xixia wenzi (Xixia characters) in China was deciphered by NISHIDA Tatsuo (1928-2012) who wrote the analysis and grammar of Xixia characters through the paper Seikamoji no bunseki narabini Seikago bunpou no kenkyuu in 1962.
In almost the same time, Inca characters were studying to decipher. I frequently heard that Russian team developed largely.

In early 1970s I frequently went to Kanda, Tokyo where old bookshops were selling vast Oriental books at the Hakusan street and Yasukuni Street. I bought Chinese classics, especially linguistic classics written in the Qing dynasty and I read them almost every day containing the comparison with the western linguistic results. The Qing dynasty's heritage were DUAN YucaiWANG NiansunWANG Yingzhi and WANG Guowei and so forth. DUAN Yucai's Showenjezi zhu and WANG Guowei's Guantang jilin  were the most important for me.

In France, 1960s was the days of Bourbaki that was one of the decipher of geometry by algebra, at least I thought so at that time. I sought and bought several Bourbaki's books at the old bookshops in Kanda, Tokyo,which is the largest old bookshop streets in Japan. But from my ability to mathematics Bourbaki was too much difficult to read on. From the days the long and winding road began to mathematics and its applicable study for language universals.

At the exhibition of ancient Greece I confirmed in particular that the stability of language was  kept by letters and characters from the Linear A and Linear B. 

Exhibition Catalogue numbers are the next.
The numbers 39 and 40 are Linear A. 41 and 77 are Linear B.

39. Clay juglet c. 1800 B.C. ~ c. 1700 B.C.
40. Clay bar c. 1700 B.C. ~ c. 1650 B.C.
41. Clay tablet c. 1375 B.C. ~ c. 1350 B.C.
77. Linear B bar and tablet c. the 13th century B.C.


For my part the stability  has been one of the biggest themes on language phenomena since I was taught from CHINO Eiichi through the results of the Linguistic Circle of Prague, especially of Sergej Karcevskij.

Coffee shop named California with image

Coffee shop named California

TANAKA Akio

From Print 2012, Chapter 10

If C live, he also may ask me, "What  are you researching now?"
And I also will answer him as same as ever.
I have pursued universals, never done facts, without repenting. 

Oh C, if you live, will we also talk on language at the table facing each other
under the low ceiling of the shop, going up the steep stairs.
The name of the shop is California.

For the memory of our daily forgetful life, its never miserable though poor all over,
I will write down our delight.

About the two Linear I knew the brief information from the book, THE DECIPHERMENT OF LINEAR B by John Chadwick, Cambridge University Press, 1960.
From the exhibition I also knew still now not to decipher the Linear A.
My simple impression  is the next.
If the stability of language exist in the structure, the essence of language is appeared at the letters and characters. So I think. The core of this view contains the view for structure of language, which I would be able to write clearly using mathematics. For more details, refer to the reference 2.

Derived Category Language, 26 July 2016 Edition. For Stability of language

Prologue to the Stability
Prague in 1920s

​From Print 2012, Chapter 18

Non-symmetry. It was the very theme that I repeatedly talked on with C. Prague in 1920s. Karcevskij's paper "Du dualisme asymetrique du signe linguistique" that appeared in the magazine TCLP.  Absolutely contradicted coexistence between flexibility and solidity, which language keeps on maintaining, by which language continues existing as language.  Still now there will exist the everlasting dual contradiction in language. Why can
language stay in such solid and such flexible condition like that. Karcevskij proposed the duality that is seemed to be almost absolute contradiction.
Sergej Karcevskij's best of papers, for whom C called as the only genius in his last years' book Janua Linguisticae reserata 1994.

Kontsevich's conjecture. Category theoretic mirror symmetry conjecture. Revised

Kontsevich's conjecture. Category theoretic mirror symmetry conjecture. Revised



When there exists mirror relation between X1 and X2, derived category of X1's  coherent sheaf  and derived Fukaya category defined from X2's symplectic structure become equivalence.

M. Kontsevich. Homological algebra of mirror symmetry, Vol. 1 of Proceedings of ICM. 1995.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Note by TANAKA Akio]
In the near future, symplectic geometry may be written by derived category. If so, complex image of symplectic geometry's some theorems may be become more simple and clear than now.

Brief comment on TODA Yukinobu. Several problems on derived category of coherent sheaf.  Tokyo, 2016
TODA Yukinobu's  Several problems on derived category of coherent sheaf built across mathematics and physics. For my part, further more, physics and language are expected to build over by reading the book.
Chapter 5. Page 116. Conjecture 5.16 shows us the connection between symplectic geometry and algebraic geometry.
I ever wrote several notes on language related with string theory.  Now TODA's book newly lights up the relation between physics and language through mathematics. This relation is really fantastic for me.

Actual Language and Imaginary Language. To LÉVI-STRAUSS Claude

Actual Language and Imaginary Language

To LÉVI-STRAUSS Claude

TANAKA Akio

1
Quantum of Language is located in the place having a certain distance from the real world.
For more details see the paper “Distance Theory”, “Mirror Theory” and “Mirror Language”.
2
Quanta of Language are classified into two types.
One is actual quanta of language. These quanta have actual distance from the real world. These quanta consist of actual language.
Details see the paper “Distance Theory”.
The other is imaginary quanta of language. These quanta have imaginary distance from the real world.
Details see the paper “Mirror Theory” and “Mirror Language”.
3
Typical actual language is the language of cooking.
We see the cooking recipe for making delicious dishes.
4
Typical imaginary language is the language of religion.
We pray the absolute being for our happiness.
5
Actual language and imaginary language are made contrast with actual number and imaginary number on mathematics.
6
Actual and imaginary quanta are separated from the real world and place to a certain point of language world. They will always leave for the real world. This tendency guarantees all the languages ultimate credibility.
Details see the paper “Guarantee of Language”.
7
Quantum of language sends messages to the next Quantum. In this situation the former Quantum moves toward the next quantum by the tendency of language. As the result, two quanta can posses the proper relation under the stable circumstance.
Two quanta are complied with the rules, especially < connection rule> and <separation rule>.
Then word and sentence are generated. At last the standstill of sentence emerges from the language world to the real world. Language separation from the real world ends in our world.
Details see the paper “Quantum Theory for Language Synopsis”.
8
The contact of two quanta occurs from the former quantum.
The first occurrence of movement starts by the tendency of reversion to the real world being immanent in language.
This tendency is called <reversion principle of language>.
This principle is the basis for the guarantee of language.
9
Imaginary language has not clearly correspondence to the real world.
For example the absolute being is not corresponded to the real world.
Generally we only confirm the course of gazing into the absoluteness.
This course has a distance from the real world as if the image in a mirror has a distance from the surface of the mirror.
It is called <imaginary distance>.
So we have two distances in the language world.
One is <actual distance>. The other is <imaginary distance>.
In this situation <principle of reversion> is regarded as being worked.
10
Now the religious language, for instance, various words of prayer has a clear step to the linguistic inspection.
11
This is a little try to bridge between linguistics and anthropology.

Bourbaki's ELEMENTS DE MATHEMATIUE, THEORIE DES ENSEMBLES is the datum of my mathematical thinking in youth time in the late 1960s to the early 1970s. So I was also one of the product of Bourbaki's age. I have confirmed that the basis of mathematics is in the freedom as the saying of Cantor. This book reflects the great flow from Cantor.
