Chapter 4920: Language I

Chapter 4920: Language I Far from THE Infiniverse. In THE Interstices. Noah’s body in this place sat upon a throne of Absolute Seals before a desk that he had manifested through the same authority. The table was currently filled with Inscriptions, golden pages covered in sentences of THE First Tongue that burned with Embodiments and Apophasis waiting to be deployed. His campaign of writing had produced dozens of Inscriptiones Dormientes, each one a weapon or defense ready to be awakened at his command. But at this moment, he had stopped writing Inscriptions. His focus was on a unique change that was opening up due to the continued influx of endless Infinite potential that flooded into his existence with every passing nanosecond. The harvest from the process that THE Living Paradox had initiated, the process that Noah had jumped aboard through THE Infiniverse, continued to provide its terrifying Infinite potential toward his foundation and existence. Many things within Noah were changing rapidly. Apart from his foundation, one of the singular most important changes occurring was to his Civilization. Truly, to his weavings of THE First Tongue. His Absolute Seals. What he could do with THE First Tongue was transforming with every passing nanosecond as the influx of Infinite potential surged into this aspect of his existence. And he was finding himself pondering many questions. There were Phonemes, the letters of THE First Tongue. There were Logos, the words formed from those letters. And there were Philologies, the sentences constructed from those words, which could all correlate with the Principles of Existence. Having altered THE First Tongue by adding his own Phonemes to the original 18, Noah had effectively expanded his vocabulary. He had opened up the pathway to Archai of Existence, his own variations of sentences in the language of existence that was THE First Tongue. So his weavings of THE Principles of THE Cheating Architect had become THE Arche of THE Cheating Architect. The same had occurred for Perpetual Harvest, for Undifferentiated Mana, for all the Principles he had mastered. They were unique and elevated and allowed for much greater expressions of the alteration of existence through them. The continued harvest and Infinite potential he was gaining was amplified by his Archai. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎 But still, these were just sentences. At this moment, as a Native Speaker, as someone with THE Civilizational Instinctus, he felt like he could do so much more with THE First Tongue now that it was flooded with his Infinities. That sensation of something missing, something that he could now grasp if only he understood what it was, became more pressing and grander as more and more Infinite potential filled him. To the point that he found himself asking a question that echoed through THE Interstices. "What is language?" Yes. What was language? Noah spoke to himself as Phonemes swirled around his form in galaxies of linguistic authority. "Language...serves to mediate between the individual and the objective existence. It reflects the development of reason and consciousness. Language acts as a bridge between mind and existence, transforming raw experience into conceptual knowledge that can be communicated and shared..." He thought a great deal about THE First Tongue and how it stood as the expression and language of existence itself. In his home world, there had been many philosophers who babbled on a great deal regarding what language really meant. He had never paid much attention to them before. Philosophy had seemed like the domain of those with too much time and too little practical concern. But now, sitting upon a throne of Absolute Seals while Infinite potential flooded his existence, those philosophical musings seemed suddenly relevant. "Some would say that language imposes false divisions on the world." He mused aloud. "When we say ’the lightning flashed’, we suggest there is a thing called ’lightning’ that is separate from the action of ’flashing’. But in reality, there is only the flashing. The process. The event. Language...can create a separation that does not truly exist." His eyes grew distant. "When we use the word ’I’ as a separate subject, language reinforces the illusion that we are isolated observers rather than inseparable parts of the greater existential process. We... believe ourselves distinct from existence when we are merely existence observing itself." HUUM! He shook his head slowly. "And many of the most important things in existence cannot be fully captured in words at all. The feeling of Infinity. The weight of Absolute authority. The sensation of foundations growing stronger. These things can be pointed toward with language but never fully contained by it." Around him, an infinite swirling storm of Seals of Absolute Tongue spun in patterns that grew more complex with every passing moment. The blue-gold light of his Infinities suffused the linguistic constructs, making them more than mere words, more than mere sentences, more than anything THE First Tongue had been designed to contain. He found himself muttering words about languages, about words, about sentences, about the fundamental nature of communication and meaning. And then a thought struck him with force that made his foundations tremble. "What of... numbers?" HUUM! His mind buzzed with the implications of such a simple question! A unique state of epiphany unfurled as he asked himself this because were numbers not intricately connected to words? Were they not their own language? Had he not come to learn how the Principles of Existence were analogous to mathematical equations that described how existence unfolded? At the end of the day, all things were numbers. Not just tools for counting, but the fundamental, qualitative, and sacred building blocks of Existence itself. Numbers represented relationships. Numbers represented ratios. Numbers represented the hidden architecture upon which reality was constructed. THE First Tongue claimed to be the language of existence. How could it not include numbers in its vocabulary? Noah searched within his existence as he thought about the mathematical truths that his home world had discovered. The relationship between the sides of a right triangle. The ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. The patterns that emerged when numbers were arranged in sequences that nature herself seemed to favor. These were not merely tools for calculation. They were testaments to the belief that Existence was built upon hidden, orderly, and harmonious mathematical relationships. They symbolized the bringing together of diverse parts to create perfect, balanced unity. They were the bones beneath the flesh of reality, the structure that gave form its meaning. Numbers were an intricate part of existence! At this time, Noah uttered out grandly while surrounded by Infinities that burned brighter than they had ever burned before. "Let me see... my existence infused with numbers." His voice carried the weight of declaration. "Let me add numbers to my grand vernacular." ...! HUUM! And utter, glorious brilliance unfolded! The swirling storm of Seals of Absolute Tongue around him began to transform as his words took effect. Phonemes that had been letters began incorporating numerical values. Logos that had been words began expressing mathematical relationships. Philologies that had been sentences began operating as equations that could be solved, balanced, manipulated. THE First Tongue was expanding! Not through the addition of new Phonemes this time, but through the integration of an entirely new dimension of expression. Numbers wove themselves through his linguistic authority like threads being added to an already intricate weaving, creating patterns of meaning that had not existed before. And Noah, THE Native Speaker, THE Genesis Monarch, felt his understanding of THE First Tongue reach heights that no other being in Observable Existence had ever achieved!
