Thinking about it, but I don'= see how once can assign a value to a sentence (token or type or looked at=even more abstractly, say the proposition expressed) in isolation from contexts, and value will vary all over the map as contex=s vary.

On 3, there is a place for probabilit=es in the study of use of language (e.g., Charles Yang's integrati=n of UG and learning theory in study of acquisition), but there is no indication of how they might enter into I-language. =he concepts don't seem relevant.

As for category theory, it makes sens= to appeal to it if the results obtained at this level of abstraction have=implications for the particular system under investigation. I don't see how it would be true in this case= Would we, say, learn more about the roots and implications of the c=py theory of displacement if we abstracted to category theory? I don=E2 t see how.

I’ll ask Valeria if she =99s gotten the book yet. Sounds like a great evening.<=span>

I read your attached paper. I would suggest that the system of =nalysis suffers from the use of early twentieth century reason=ng , ie references to Merge. minimal computation ( the set notation =an be misleading ) or modules. I think a system and notation that might , just might, help and add interesting insights is -categ=ry theory. fresher, more useful then either the former p=pular set theory or group theory of the 20th century . =here for example mc would be contained in a larger category. (=your Merge would fall into a subcategory of operations that were a combination =f associative , transitive operations in a space etc . One th=n looks at the spaces of probabilities and realizes that some are ju=t much more probable than others . nothing more. these probabilities generate shapes only as a result of their=C2 statistical ensembles. - the age old study of soap bubbl=s suffered from the same handicap. . the shapes were analyzed =y attempting to follow the mc rule. ie containing the mo=t volume for the least area. ( a broader category ) now i would propos= that the shape merely represents its most probable shape- not=ing more. given the statistical space. for ex, things on=the membrane , free to move but the shape not changing. I un=erstand that language is not an input output system like vision. Shape= are not input /output devices but have very strong properties , rel=tionships etc. there are mappings onto those spaces. =AO the old version of functions expanded ei using more than only mat=ematical terms. mappings are not required to be linear. ie grammatical sentences would be represented as coherent shapes. =ts very beautiful math.

Had dinner with woody and he wanted to know if valer=a had gotten the book he suggested as in hindsight thought that he s=ould have sent her a copy and not merely forwarded the title. =y side still hurts from laughing for the past 2 hours.
