Winding road to physics

When I was a student of high school, I hoped to learn physics at university. But from various reasons in fact I learnt language at university on the other still longing for physics.
After graduation I once worked as a high school teacher and eight years passing over I returned to university for investigating language study. On the way I again met CHINO Eiichi in 1979, from whom I ever learnt Russian in 1969. By his teaching I had distinct aim for my study on language, making clear description to others using mathematics being assisted with physical thinking or approach. Mathematics was always set in my mind but my talent was not overtaken to its hardness. But aiming clear description to every situation I decided to learn again or thrice to make a new stage where I decided to come back to my starting point of youth being attracted to physics.

Perhaps Return to Physics
Recently my situation for language research has changed rather drastically. 
I have loved mathematics ever since I understood that mathematics was the only fantastic way for solving the problems of the nature through absolute clear description.

When I was at the third grade of the high school
, I remained in the class room for solving the swing state of a pendulum movement. It was the simple differential equation. But at that time I realised that one short equation contained the whole universe of a tiny pendulum. it was a real meeting with the mathematics and the our world.
At high school, I thought that the most fantastic way of life was in physics, especially in theoretical physics.  
In the autumn 1965, the Nobel Prize in physics was awarded to TOMONAGA Shin-ichiro. In the next morning of announcement, at our mathematics-science class was full of the prize about his award.
In those days I already  determined my university's speciality to theoretical physics. TOMONAGA's award was the splendid delight for me and the other science- course class mates.
But various reasons led me to philology at the university life.

Since then nearly half a century passed by. My study on language was dimmed in the vast historical heritage of linguistics that had surely shown the many results for language. But my mind was not fine on my road up to that time. My object  gradually became to the one that was clear and understandable whoever desire to participate to talk with language. At the result after long winding road  I reached at the concrete place for study. It was the description by mathematics. It was the days of my mid 30s in 1980s. 

From those days some 20 years passed by. I became at 50s. I had written the short papers  little by little. Mathematics was really free to approach. I freely thought and imagined on language's essential parts. Several models were made for the situation of language's particular phases. But I recognised that mathematics starts at the some axioms and theorems and reached  a curtain high place' situation, which road is absolutely strict and exact and there is perfectly nothing related with real our world's phenomena, in my part on natural language. 

So recently I began to think that no relation with  models and natural phenomena on language was easily overcome by adopting the physical method using mathematics' various results. perhaps I return to physics which was my favourite in the high school days. Physics connects world and model freely. All the explanations are approximate values for world' phenomena. At this place I can freely adopt the models not thinking the theoretical consistency. 

Now I am standing  at the physical based place that was dreamt in my high school days.

Thanks to physics about which I ever dreamt in my future
In the days of high school, I deeply dreamt that someday physics would perfectly write over this world's phenomena by the clearest descriptions. So I longed for studying physics in the future. But I selected language's diverse wideness at the university, from where returning the clear descriptive situation represented by physics needed long and winding road for me. Now in my mind probably language and physics or mathematics are happily live together constructing the world's one main frame. I wonder why I took so much time to reach here. Long time ago, at least Pascal's days, philosophy and mathematics were both sides of shield for solving the world's hard problems. It is very appropriate that the fact is solved from every fields not being partitioned any artificial walls. Philosophy may be solved by mathematics and mathematics may opened by physical phenomenon. Now they all became common sense. Only I reached here delaying rather late. I am now situated in tranquil field. Thanks to so many pioneers, especially in mathematics. Also to physics about which I ever dreamt in my future.

Preparation for the energy of language
The energy of language seems to be one of the most fundamental theme for the further step-up  study on language at the present for me. But the theme was hard to put on the mathematical description. Now I present some preparatory  papers written so far.

A Very Happy New Year 2015 and Many Thanks for reading SIL's essays and papers.

I was born in 1947 and become 68 years old this summer.
My unripeness to language study has come to the declining years.
Return to physics or mathematics is almost alike to back to youth age, when almost every day solving rudimentary problems for entire interest to unknown world.

In my mind there still are some hard themes to challenge, one of which is energy in language. The theme is originated from Edward Sapir, who presented the concept "drift" in Language, 1921. 
It was the macro and intuitive concept that was supposed by his precise thinking and vast field work of America native's language. I think that I would develop the theme from the physics-mathematics field.

If there be change in language, from which to which language changes in its true nature?
At where is there the change's power or energy?

Henry David Thoreau’s ” In Wildness Is the preservation of the World” with the photographs by Eliot Porter, 1962

Henry David Thoreau’s ” In Wildness Is the preservation of the World” with the photographs by Eliot Porter, 1962


TANAKA Akio

Yesterday I read Henry David Thoreau’s “ In Wildness Is the preservation of the World” with the photographs by Eliot Porter, 1962.  I felt the universality of nature from the book, that is over the nations or the difference of the Occidental and Oriental. Thoreau’s sentences are so fine and delicate as the following.

March 30, 1984
Pray, what thing interest me at present? Along, soaking rain, the drops trickling down the stubble, while I lay drenched on last year’s bed of wild oats, by the side of some bare hill, ruminating.

At Bank of Dam Again 
TANAKA Akio 
               
                        
 At bank of dam we conversed with friends on many innocent themes in our youth days. Long time ago the place was the sight of the fireworks, for which father took me and elder sister to see in the summer night. When returning home you perfectly slept soundly at father’s back, the sister said to me later.
 After some thirty years after, we came again with the family to play in the fallen leaves at the bank of dam. Children were rolling down at the slope of the bank wearing golden leaves on the clothes.
 And after half a century we have come again at the bank with wife protecting leg’s slight pains each other.

Place: Hakuba Nagano Japan
Date: August 23, 2003

1 Hakuba
Hakuba shows solemn beauty to visitors all seasons, especially in winter. Hakuba 3 mountains area is an Arcadia for mountain climbers in Japan. The mountains are what I love more than any others.

2 Quantum Theory for Language
I stayed here in summer 2003 and found the framework of the theory <Quantum Theory for Language>.

3 Learning
I have learnt linguistics from an Oriental point of view. I have ever been interested in hieroglyphics in ancient China. It is called <Chinese inscriptions on bone and tortoiseshell>. These inscriptions were already being completed for writing contemporary Chinese language approximately 2400 years ago. I have learnt WANG Niansun,WANG Yingzhi, DUAN Yucai and WANG Guowei. Especially from WANG Guoei I was influenced beyond measure. His treatises "Guantang Jilin" almost overlaps in my youth.

4 Kanda
I often wandered Kanda area which was located in central Tokyo and famous of antiquarian books on Japan China and the Occident.

5 WANG Guowei 
What I first read WANG’s works is probably at 1973. Every his work is extremely difficult for me at that time. But after all times he encouraged me toward the far long research of Chinese ancient characters and language universals. He was truly my youth. 

6 CHINO Eiichi
While reading the works of above mentioned Qing dynasty scholars, I have also received influence of occidental linguistics, which was taught by CHINO Eiichi. I at first met him in the Russian language class. He taught us Russian. He was in thirties at 1969. I was just in twenty. The classroom was small and he was always the very front of me. We met again at 1979. He and I were slightly older than ever.

7 Prague
CHINO taught me structural linguistics, the linguistic circle of Prague and Karcevskij.He then wrote splendid papers for understanding linguistics in readable and careful style. We talked about many things under the dim light at coffee shop near the station. Name was "California". When up and down stairs creaked in our weights. He died in 2002. My theory emerges from his talk. Further thanks to CHINO. With our younger days in Tokyo.

Why is boundary necessary in language?
q.v. Boundary of Words ​/ 12 February 2009

TANAKA Akio

1.
I have thought on language as a physic existence that has inevitably boundary to the outer world.
My question is simple and primitive. I ever wrote about the change of language - If there be change, there are exactly the situations before change and after change. Just where does changing substance exist? In the essay, rotten apple was used as the symbol of changing language.

Presupposition on Natural Language

TANAKA Akio
                                      
1.
Language is variable. If it be true, what is the base of variability?
2.
Language is pronounceable. If it be true, what is emerged by pronounced?
3.
Language is recordable. If it be true, what is emerged by recorded?
4.
Example.
An apple is variable and will be rotten by time proceeding.
An apple is pronounced at a glossary shop and will be bought by a home-maker.
An apple is recordable  and will be recorded in a photo.
5.
What distinguishes language from apple? The answer is uncertain. So I make the language models parting from natural language.

Language&s substantiality has been considered since I returned to the mathematical approach for learn language universals from the utterly beginning. In 2005 I wrote a tiny trial paper on the substantiality of language for thinking the study course hereafter.

Substantiality

Dedicated to SAPIR Edward

TANAKA Akio


1 Substance of language is completion which possesses the distance from the real world.
2 The distance is sustained by the fixation for which meaning and time are abstracted.
3 If language has not distance, language appears and disappears following the real world proceeding.
4 Language is substantially unchangeable. Changeability occurs on surrounding.
5 The distance is measured by the longitude from the real world to the substantiality that meaning and time possess.
6 Substantiality is a frame of language.
7 Substantiality is free from the real world.
8 Substantiality is powered by outer energy.
9 Powered substantiality moves complied with possessed command, namely meaning and time.
10 Powered moving substantiality of language is called <quantum>.
11 The idea of quantum is partially realized by <bar code system> in the supermarket or bookstore.
12 Substantiality is bar code of can or book. Outer energy is bar code reader. Quantum moves in a cash register. Language generates price addition in the real world.
13 Bar code is not language. Bar code is substantiality of language. Bar code does not move by itself. When bar code reader becomes energetic, bar code generates <quantum> in a cash register. Language, namely, price-additional-work, starts at bookstore of station front in the bustling evening.

In 2013, I again wrote on the substantiality of language at the new level containing the determinate essence of language, dimension and  time.  The title is Macro Time and Micro Time. In this paper I thought that dimension is the essential factor of meaning, especially containing Infinitive meaning.

Through natural language, in human being, occurred the electrical signal by eye or ear. These complex situations are beyond this paper’s limits.
2. 
Language is a physical object as signal and its transmission. At this circumstances, language must be recognised to be the existence that has finite time.
3. 
An apple on the desk gradually becomes rotten by passing the time very after the crop in the orchard. #0
4.
Like an apple, language has passing physical time in oneself.
5. 
Language is metamorphosed  by the time progressing.  #1
6. 
Language includes the outer world from human being to universe. At this declaration, I recall Blaise Pascal’s Pensées. XXXIII. PROOFS OF JESUS CHRIST 308 The infinite distance between body and mind symbolizes the infinitely more infinite distance between mind and charity, for charity is supernatural.(Translated by A.J. Krailsheimer, 1966) #2
7. 
Language’s time goes freely from the present to the future or the present to the past. #3
8. 
Language symbolises the time from finiteness to infinity. #4
9. 
Human being recognises this vast language world perfectly. #5
