Pointerse

The rest of this post is purely hypothetical.

I am going to invent a new language. Every sentence in this language will be composed of a sequence of numbers, and each number — or word — will be a cultural refer­ence, a refer­ence to a quota­tion, event, activity or just about anything that took place in the history of our world at some point in space and time. Each sentence in this language will carry an immense amount of infor­ma­tion within a few, short, simple words.

Eventu­ally, advances in technology will make knowl­edge ubiqui­tous, thereby condensing sentences into something as simple as a repre­sen­ta­tion of a sequence of vectors in space-time.

I call this language “Pointerse”.

    But it will require a dictio­nary that runs into volumes. Won’t you let me be the publisher of the dictio­nary? I think I see a way to become a billion­aire ‚in short, I sense an “Opportunity”.

    The first sentence…was written first and there­fore predates all other sentences.

    The dictio­nary wouldn’t be yet another set of books. It would be some means of experi­encing events at the speci­fied point in space and time, in a more realistic fashion than what current technology allows.
