Description

Language as Technology explores how language itself functions as the first and most enduring technology. Letters, graphemes, and glyphs are not just symbols but engineered tools that encode, store, and transmit meaning across time and space. Words are software; grammar is architecture; discourse is infrastructure. Every language unit is both mechanism and interface, referencing others in a recursive system that powers thought, law, science, and code.

This document outlines how the alphabet serves as the operating system of interpretation, spelling out every higher unit from phoneme to discourse. It demonstrates how language, like circuitry, connects inputs to outputs; how syntax parallels programming; how semantics structures data; and how pragmatics governs application. Whether in mathematics, law, or artificial intelligence, language acts as the universal protocol binding systems together. This work is essential for anyone who wants to see language not only as communication but as the original technology that underpins all others.
