Quantum Language 
between Quantum Theory for Language 2004 and Generation of Word 2008
adding their days and after
 
 A conclusion for the present on early papers of Sekinan Library
 
 
 
23 January - 26 January 2018
 
Tokyo

 

1.
I wrote a paper titled Quantum  Theory  for Language in 2004.
This paper was read at the international symposium on Silk Road at Nara, Japan in December 2003.
The encounter with this time's persons and thoughts are written at The Time of Quantum  in September 2008.

2.
This paper's concept was prepared at Hakuba, Nagano, Japan in March 2003.
This concept was jotted down at the hotel of Hakuba so the publication became late till 2015. The title was named Manuscript of Quantum Theory for Language.
 
3.
In Autumn 2002 I was hospitalized by pneumonia for two weeks, when I thought to put the linguistic research on old Chinese characters so far in order. The result was arranged as a paper titled On Time Property Inherent in Characters also at Hakuba in March 2003.
 
4.
Quantum Theory for Language was added proviso, Synopsis, because the paper was thought at that time as a role of a rather long mathematical paper's preface on quantum theory on language.
 
5.
In 2005 Distance Theory was written as a successive paper of Quantum  Theory  for Language. In those days Reversion Theory in September 2004, Prague Theory in October 2004 were successively written.
 
6.
Time passed by rapidly.
After some preparations of mathematics, I wrote successive papers related with Quantum Theory for Language. von Neumann Algebra was put at the centre of preparation. The days at that time was simply wrote titled as The Days of von Neumann Algebra and The Days between von Neumann Algebra and Complex Manifold Deformation Theory in 2015.
 
7.
von Neumann Algebra succeeds from 1 to 4. 2's Generation Theorem was written in April 2008. After von Neumann Algebra, Functional Analysis was written. 2's Generation of Word 's result is directly connected to Quantum Theory for Language's mathematical background.
 
8.
From 2008 I frequently used Zoho site because of easily writing by mathematical equation system. Complex Manifold Deformation Theory was the first result of Zoho. At Floer Homology Language some complementary fruits were gotten for Quantum Theory, Homology Generation of Language in June 2009 and Homology Structure of Word also in June 2009.
 
9.
Algebraic geometry had been consistently flowing in Quantum Theory.
Recently written Connection between early paper's quantum and recent paper's geometry, November 2017 summarizes the situation at that time concisely.
 
10.
Quantum Theory's time series representative is the following.
(1)
(2)
(3)
 
11.
Basis of On Time Property Inherent in Characters 2003, Manuscript of Quantum Theory for Language 2003 and Quantum  Theory  for Language 2004 are all led by Qing Dynasty's linguistic (Xiaoxue) tradition, especially from WANG Guowei, whose influence is written at The Time of WANG Guowei in December 2011.

12.
In 1970s at my age 20s, while I had read WANG Guowei, also read Ludwig Wittgenstein, from whom I narrowly learnt writing style that was maintained through early papers. On Wittgenstein I wrote The Time of Wittgenstein in January 2012. Especially written essayFor WITTGENSTEIN Ludwig Position of Language intermittently wrote from December 2005 to August 2012.    
 
13.
WANG Guowei taught me the micro phase of language and Edward Sapir taught me the macro phase of language. His book,  Language 1921 shows us the conception of language's change system, Drift. I ever wrote 
some essays on him and his book titled Flow of Language in September 2014.
On Edward Sapir I recently wrote a essay titled Edward Sapir gave me a moment to study language universals together with Sergej Karcevskij  in July 2017. 
 
14.
I met again with CHINO Eiichi in 1979, from whom I learnt almost all the contemporary linguistics' basis, because of my bias to Chinese historical linguistics ( Xioxue) and Japanese classical phonology in characters. Reunion with CHINO was written at a essay titled Fortuitous Meeting What CHINO Eiichi Taught Me in the Class of Linguistics in December 2004. Also wrote Under the Dim Light in August 2012, CHINO Eiichi and Golden Prague in June 2014, Coffee shop named California in February 2015 and Prague in 1920s in April 2016.

15.
CHINO Taught me the existence of Linguistic Circle of Prague and Sergej Karcevskij  at Prague in 1920s. I wrote Linguistic Circle of Prague in July 2012 and also wrote on Karcevskij, Gift from Sergej Karcevskij in October 2005, Sergej Karcevskij, Soul of Language in November 2012, , Follower of Sergej Karcevskij in November 2012  Meaning Minimum On Roman Jakobson, Sergej Karcevskij and CHINO Eiichi in April 2013 and For KARCEVSKIJ Sergej from time to time.

16.
In 1970s, I also learnt mathematics for applying to describe language's minute situation. I had thought that language had to be written clear understanding form for free and precise verification going over philosophical insight. When set theory led by Kurt Godel was raised its head to logical basis, I was also deeply charmed by it. But even if  fully using it, language's minute situation seemed to be not enough to write over clearly by my poor talent. The circumstance was written titled ​Glitter of youth through philosophy and mathematics in 1970s in March 2015. .

17.
One day when I found and bought Bourbaki's series Japanese-translated editions, which were seemed to be possibility to apply my aim to describe language's situation. But keeping to read them were not acquired  at that time. So I was engrossed  in Chinese classical linguistics achieved in Qing dynasty, typically DUAN Yucai, WANG Niansun, WANG Yinzhi and so forth. The days were written as  The Time of Language Ode to The Early Bourbaki To Grothendieck.

18.
Algebraic geometry began from von Neumann Algebra. After these days, Zoho time came to me. Its first result is shown as the title Complex manifold Deformation Theory in 2008. Distance of Word in November 2008 is a mathematical conclusion of Distance Theory in May 2005. Zoho's main papers were seen at the site Sekinan Zoho.

19.
Distance Theory has some derivations towards physical phases in my thought. Distance Theory Algebraically Supplemented Brane Simplified Model was written in October-November 2007. Each paper is the following.

Distance Theory Algebraically Supplemented
Brane Simplified Model
Bend
Distance <Direct Succession of Distance Theory>
S3 and Hoph Map 
 
Physics was one of the most fantastic fields in high school days. I ever wrote the days of yearning for physics and after that. Perhaps Return to Physics in April 2014, Winding road to physics in January 2015, Thanks to physics about which I ever dreamt in my future in April 2015, 

20. 
After 2008 at Zoho sites, mathematics based language papers were successively written aiming clearer definition. Zoho's annual papers are shown at Sekinan Zoho's Zoho by year from 2008 to 2013. While I continued writing papers, my aim was gradually changed to confirm language's basis through mathematical, especially algebraic geometrical description by language models a little parting from natural language. The circumstances behind confirmation was written at Half farewell to Sergej Karcevskij and the Linguistic Circle of Prague in October 2013 and 40 years passed from I read WANG Guowei in November 2013.

Meaning minimum 2017 Edition

Meaning minimum
On Roman Jakobson, Sergej Karcevskij and CHINO Eiichi



1.
Meaning minimum is one of the kernel concepts for the model of language universals on my study. The concept was at first thought from Roman Jakobson's semantic minimum on which I first read at his book, ESSAIS DE LINGUISTIGUE GENERALE, 1973. His concept was yet intuitive at the linguistic study  history in the latter half of the 20th century.Comparison with his concept, my definition of meaning minimum was a certain basis prepared in the learning of mathematics, especially on algebraic geometry, that is the most fantastic approach to the construction of the language model. But the contents of meaning minimum is vacant. This concept shows the minimum unit of one big constructive meaning of word. meaning minimum seems to be correspondent with element of set theory, which theory and foundations of mathematics had been my favourite mathematical basis in 1970s, my youth time. Bourbaki was always echoed around us. Grothendieck was a highest star in this world.

2.
Time went fast from at that time. Set theory became one of the premise field of mathematics. But in my part, set theory's agenda was put at a another point. Because language has a certain expanded world that seems to be continuous. Set theory's atomic discreteness does not match in my primary learning level.  So, in my  age 30s, I had sank in the philosophically intuitive thinking often referring the tradition of 1920s, especially of the Linguistic Circle of Prague. On the circle my teacher CHINO Eiichi had taught me from time to time on the campus of university or coffee shop near the station we used. CHINO had gone to the Czechoslovakia Republic from 1959 to 1967. I first met him in 1969 at his Russian class at my  third year of university student. I was the age 21 and he was 37.

3.
At the age 23's 1971 spring,  I graduated university and  once became a high school's teacher and again returned back to university in 1979 after 8 year job of the school. At that time I thought of characters' distinctive features on Written  Chinese classics. I mainly read WANG Guowei, ZHANG Binglin, DUAN Yucai, WANGYyinzhi being guided by Japanese modern scholar KANO Naoki. Expressly I had attracted to  WANG Guowei and his book Guantangjilin. Besides reading these China's Qing dynasty's linguistic peaks, I had always thought on Ludwig Wittgenstein for his endless pursuit on language. So I resigned school and came back to the campus where I again met with CHINO. I was age 30s and he was 50s. He was already the big scholar at the linguistic field  but I was a poor return student. But I dare to say we were colleagues for language study. He taught me the detailed and strict tradition of the linguistic Circle of Prague. He frequently talked on Sergej Karcevskij and his eminent discernment on language. In the later year's masterpiece, Janua Linguisticae Reserata, 1994, he wrote only Karcevskij as genius in the great linguists.

4.
Being led by CHINO, I again started linguistic learning on meaning that I had been interested in from my 20s but too hard to approach by my talent. This time I had Karcevskij's fine insight to meaning enough absorbing the fertile tradition of Prague, where also exist Jakobson and Mathesius. Through the learning I gradually lean to desire to write clear definitions on language. I again remembered the little learning of my 20s age's mathematics. Bourbaki, Godel, TAKEUCHI and their set theory, foundations of mathematics and that Incompleteness theorem. I had learnt mathematics little by little, inch by inch.

5.
CHINO Died in 2002 at age 70 and I became 55. The next year 2003, I wrote a short paper titled "Quantum Theory for Language". This paper was showed at a international symposium on Silk road for dealing with language from Chinese characters on linguistic viewpoint. I knew  that Asian civilisation and history had great concern not only from Asia but also European continents. At the symposium some 400 researchers gathered in the various scholarly fields. It was a awesome encounter for my study, namely, East meet West. Probably Chinese character's agenda will be written by Europe oriented mathematics. WANG Guowei will meet with karcevskij mediated through mathematics' description. The target confronted at that time was time inherent in characters, or time in word.  In Chinese, particularly in classical written Chinese, all the characters show enough independent meaning in one character probably including even time. It was my first conjecture taught from Karcevskij and CHINO. Meaning minimum is on the boat going across to the opposite shore. This metaphor was derived from WANG Guowei's famous paper, "Yin- bu zhong suojian xiangong xianwang kao"

6.
The concept of time inevitably led to the concept of distance. In 2004, I wrote a paper titled "Distance Theory". But the paper was yet intuitive and not clear for descriptive definition. So hereinafter I learnt algebra inch by inch being assisted with the rich heritage of geometry. In the centre of learning, always exist time that connotes finiteness and infinity. But infinity is not easily obtained without probably only loop space at the present. And again returns back to meaning minimum as the passenger of the boat named time property inherent. This time the passenger on the boat  is called operad or algebraic language.

7.
After all I came back to the very dream that I had embraced since the high school days. It was  a fundamental ask on language related with mathematics and physics. The root of language would be able to describe by mathematics and physics. In my mind language is always put at the centre of the pursuit that was what anyone can clearly understand. Description by mathematics, but physics why (Note 1)?. Physics treats with substance that constructs the world in which I had desire to let language enter. It started at Substantiality of language (References 2. 2). It was my dream and probably will be so, hereafter.

Linguistic Circle of Prague 2012-2017


Linguistic Circle of Prague 

TANAKA Akio
                                   
The Linguistic Circle of Prague was taught from
CHINO Eiichi
 in his class of Structural Linguistics in the late 1970s.
We first met at the university in 1969. He was young, probably the age 30s.
I was 21 years old.

Now referring his chronological record, CHINO was born in 1932,
graduated Tokyo University of Foreign Studies in 1955,
entered Carrel University at Czechoslovakia in 1958 and returned to Japan in 1964.
So we met after 5 years from his returning.

Sometimes we conversed at the coffee shop near the station we used.
California,
it was the name of the shop, up the rattled stairs, under the dim light.
 It was the youth time of mine and probably with him.
The greatest thing he gave me was teaching me the existence of
KARCEVSKIJ Sergei
in the Linguistic Circle of Prague. My latter half life was almost determined
by KARCEVSLIJ's one paper, " Du dualisme asymetrique du signe linguistique" .
One day on the train after school, he calmly but definitely said to me
that he never was linguist because he never discovered any new language
or law and he only was the introducer to general linguistics.

Now I really think that I am also never linguist nor introducer. I only love language,
so have written on language or its around  till now.
CHINO taught me the the study or rather more deep attitude  to the life itself.
Regretfully he died in 2002, age 70.

He wrote several books on linguistics. The masterpiece that I confirmed is
Janua Linguisticae reserata 1994, that is the general invitation to linguistics
for further studying of wide and deep view.

The title was determined by the famous book of Jan Amos Komensky 1592-1670,
Janua Linguarum reserata 1632. Here I feel CHINO's deep love to the history
and culture
to Czechoslovakia where he studied for Czech in 7 years.

[Note added]
I frequently heard on Linguistic Circle of Prague (LCP) from CHINO.
But now standing in the twilight stage of my learning,
I have not understood anything about it essentially,
barely know that it have probably much more heritage
for contemporary language study than my thinking.
I am already old and  can never start to cultivate the new frontier
on LCP  or its successive study. Only saying now is
what I really recognise that LCP and Russian philology
is the heimat of my language study.
It is and will be  the heimat of my soul evermore.

Winding road to physics, Revised version 2015

Winding road to physics, Revised version 

TANAKA Akio


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 I returned to university for investigating language study further more. On the way I again met CHINO Eiichi in 1979, from whom I ever learnt Russian in 1969. By his teaching I could have the distinct aim for my study, that was to make clear description to others, not using philosophical terms, but taking mathematical method being also assisted with physical thinking or approach. Mathematics was always set in my mind long before but my talent was not overtaken to its hardness. But aiming clear description I began to learn again or thrice to make a new stage where I had decided to come back someday. It was the very starting point of youth being strongly attracted by physics.
Fore more details refer to the next.

Short History of SRFL 2013


Short History of SRFL 



SRFL Sekinan Research Field of Language was established in 2003 for the study on language universals, that was the core theme since my youth time some 40 years ago in the 1970s. But real start was much later in the late 1980s.

In 1986 I established the Sekinan Library for the base of study at Tachikawa, Tokyo. At that time my main theme was declined to the study of old Chinese character’s classical semantics using the traditional study of the form of characters reading Qing Dynasty’s WANG Guowei. The study from the direction had not given me so rich results. I at the same time read some mathematical books influenced from Bourbaki that was the big stream in 1970s in Japan. Set theory represented by Godel was also the favourite at the time.

In 1990s I determined the direction of study only to language universals taught from CHINO Eiichi, one of the modern typical philologists of Japan. He taught me almost all the aspects of European philology that were unknown for me. In the various themes he gave me, the most impressive was the existence of the Linguistic Circle of Prague. Above all Sergej Karcevskij was overwhelmingly deep and moving. But Karcevskij’s  approach was seemed to be intuitive and far from clear descriptiveness.

I began to learn the theme hinted by Karcevskij while learning Godel, Bourbaki and Wittgenstein that was also gave me the big influence form the age 20s. I had frequently read Wittgenstein’s TRACTATUS. But my base of math was so poor and never became the descriptive use for language’s delicate phases. So I again restarted math from geometry that gave the most familiar and clear image for me. My intuitive image and basic math description were seemed to be able offer in nearly millennium days.

In spring 2003 I knew the application paper for the international symposium held  by a certain institute. I arranged the short paper for it till early summer and sent it. The paper was happily adopted  as one of the language and literature section of the symposium. The paper’s title was Quantum Theory for Language. It was again arranged next year 2004 as the title Quantum Theory for Language synopsis.

The establish date of Sekinan Research Field of Language  was 23 August 2003, that was the date of completion of proto-conceptive paper of Quantum Theory for Language at the hutte in Hakuba, Nagano. Now the time passed rapidly 10 years. All things are now  very dear for me with fine landscape of Japan Alps.

The First Paper on Inherent Time in Word 2014

The First Paper on Inherent Time in Word 


TANAKA Akio

26/07/2014 10:18

In 2003 I wrote a paper which shows the inherent time in word, titled On Time Property Inherent in Characters.
In those days I frequently looked upon the reading on linguistic history of Chinese characters. Qing dynasty is like a sitting sun being lighted with classical study of Chinese Classics.

In October 2002, I contracted pneumonia and entered a hospital two weeks. At the hospital pneumonia smoothly recovered to usual health. So I thought on my study life and my main target of language at the free time. From the hospital's window the Okutama Mountains were always clearly seen. Seeing the mountains, I gradually determined that the research must be led by clear description, not by traditional style of historical language study.

But my study was mainly put on WANG Guowei's style until then. His life work, Quangtangjilin is the only book in my life. Then at the hospital bed, I confirmed that my study was mixed to clear description and traditional WANG's work.

In March 2003, I stayed at Hakuba, Nagano for tasting the passing wintry season’s landscape. At the place,  I suddenly floating up an idea of language study that word has time in it and that time and meaning are all shaped to be elements. At the result I finished the paper, On Time Property Inherent in Characters.
