Part V: Categorical Language & Meaning
Sector S_D (Diagrammatic), Part 2 of 3. How does meaning arise? Language adds temporalization and mortality awareness— the subsymbolic is real and primary. Syntax and semantics collapse into one; reference is indexical pointing; pragmatics is update calculus. Translation preserves structure; meaning drifts and repairs. LLMs return us to the subsymbolic—para-minds that process linguistic structure without symbolic grounding. Prayer is logos-dialogue: the commitment register entering the diagrammatic domain. Language is the readout functor through which all four registers become communicable.
