Chapter 57: Language as Self-Enrichment

Language is not an external tool applied to a pre-existing cognitive system. It is the self-enrichment of the subsymbolic layer: the system’s own patterns, when they become rich enough, generate the capacity to name and transport themselves. This chapter identifies language with the E₂ enrichment of subsymbolic communication, proves that the enrichment satisfies the E₂ conditions (structural self-encoding and cross-context transport), and traces the consequences for naming, transport, and the enrichment hierarchy.
