I humbly beg your pardon.

C followed the facts and laws and did not find it. Then one day he suddenly fell ill and passed away. She loved linguistics and left behind several books. The name of her last book was Janua Linguisticae Reserata, An Open Door to Linguistics. As he said, the door was open to all. If you want to pursue it.

If C were alive, he might ask A again now. What are you doing now? If C live, he may also ask me, "What are you researching now?" and A would answer the same way. And A also will answer him as same as ever. We are pursuing the universal, not the facts, without getting too excited. I have pursued universals, never done facts, without repenting.

If I had lived, I wonder if we would have climbed those steep stairs and talked again at that low-ceilinged table, C. Oh C, if you live, we will also talk on language at the table facing each other under the low ceiling of the shop, going up the steep stairs. In order not to damage the precious manuscript of the transposition theory, the discoverer himself took a plane to deliver it. So, C, how much courage did I feel, even though I was at such a bewildering loss? The name of the store that looked like a shack on the left after entering the alley in front of the station was California. The name of the shop is California. Let us now write it down in memory of our never-miserable oblivion. For the memory of our daily forgetful life, its never miserable though poor all over, I will write down our delight.

However, even though A sincerely apologized and accepted C's angry advice, he continued to take a different direction. Facts were not his subject. As long as it is a human phenomenon, everything manifests as a fact once. There may be some rules there. However, A did not want to go in that direction. What he was looking for was not a world of facts, but a world of fiction. It probably explains very little about this world. It's useless. If it wasn't blasphemy, it was almost art.

In A's case, the internal structure of language went from set theory to shapes, and then to geometry. In other words, he had no hesitation in choosing geometry as the only way to clearly describe figures that express a universal language in which time is also a meaning.
