For me geometry is the only one expression for me to describe language universals containing the time which is one of the important elements of meaning. 2012 / Translated by Google 2025
C. pursued facts and laws, but did not find them. Then, one day, he suddenly died of an illness. He left behind several books about his love of linguistics. The title of his last book was Janua Linguisticae Reserata, an open door to linguistics. As he said, the door was open to everyone. If you just keep pursuing it.
If C lives, he may ask me, "What are you researching now?" And A will answer him the same as ever. I have pursued universals, never done facts, without repenting.
Oh C, if you live, we would have climbed the steep stairs and talked at the table facing each other under the low ceiling of the shop, going up the steep stairs. In the cross-border connection of research on transference, the valuable manuscript of the transference theory was rediscovered, and the discoverer himself flew to deliver it to me in order to prevent it from being damaged. How encouraging it was for me, C, who was so poor and lost. The name of the shop, which was like a shack, was California, just to the left after entering the alley in front of the station. 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.
But A, although he accepted C's angry advice with sincere gratitude, continued to take a different direction. Facts were not his object. Being a human phenomenon, everything first manifests itself as a fact. Some kind of law may emerge from that. But A did not want to go in that direction. What he wanted was not a world of facts, but an imaginary world. That would probably explain very little about this world. It would be useless. If that wasn't blasphemy, it would be closer to art.
In the case of A, the internal structure of language went from set theory to geometry via figures. In other words, he now chose geometry as the only way to clearly express figures as expressions of a universal language in which time is also a meaning, and there was no hesitation in that regard.
