Pointerse

Sunday, October 9th, 2011

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”.
