art and language
if painting is like writing vice versa
it might be a good idea to investigate this relation or as an artist, look up writing
ART IS A LANGUAGE
- in its own right (poisoned by the left over)
- a universal one (specifically unique to any artist)
- open minded (therefore almost inaccessible)
art/language worldbuilding “words do build worlds”
how many words do one need write a philosophical book?
for modern languages the maximum of words is around 500.000 which includes a very big amount of unused, outdated, and lean-words
50.000 words are in common practices society wide a single person usually knows around 15.000+ words and practices 5.000± whereas on daily basis we, the person, uses ~500
a book about love dead and live behind bars has been written by an ape (chimpanzee bonobo hybrid) in a transfer communication code with around 550 signs/words/lexigrams the book was published and critiqued as impressive rich though poor language and rather philosophical with the strength of the ease of access.
hints: https://www.nytimes.com/1974/05/29/archives/computer-helps-chimpanzees-learn-to-read-write-and-talk-to-humans.html the great ape language https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_ape_language and teaching chimpanzees ASL (search yourself)
Can 12 apes typing on a typewriter write a Shakespeare?
No, because there was only one Shakespeare and he is dead.
But he was an ape, precisely an human-ape, like us all.
So technically this question addresses two problems:
- coordinating 12 apes on one goal
- the uniqueness of Shakespeare in the quality of his writing
- the creativity question. Should anyone reproduce Shakespeare or write ones own stuff?
- narcistic self-disorder and insult of/to humankind
programming languages have less words, but use a lot of syntactic sugar.

Hint: for example PHP has over 1000 built-in functions programming languages have different concepts and with including the standard libraries different qualities and quantities of words. Pretty much like in common languages.
the misconceptions of languages
history -> his story (but not hers?)
Achill the prototype of heroes or why good people never can be heroes or do heroic stuff?
verbal and non-verbal/common. hidden puns a verbal pun is where the spelling is different but the sound is (almost) the same pun - *pun*ishment mean - *mean*ing
challenge race (race pun)
- contest
- confrontation
- competition
- conflict
con/com -> with (someone else) -> we
therefore *com*merz
