Description

Pragmanomics: The Law of Action explores how language does not merely describe the world but actively shapes it. From pragma (Greek: “deed, act, thing done”) and nomos (Greek: “law, order, arrangement”), Pragmanomics reveals that words are deeds and that every utterance carries lawful force. Promises, contracts, oaths, and commands all operate because language performs action when spelled and recognized.

This work traces how letters form words, words crystallize into utterances, and utterances become binding acts. Orthography secures continuity, ensuring that spoken or written actions remain intelligible and enforceable across time. Multiplicity of use—commands, questions, declarations, or promises—is unified by lawful order. Applications span linguistics (pragmatics as language in context), law (speech acts codified as binding), politics (charters and declarations), and technology (commands executed as code). Recursion defines Pragmanomics: letters spell words, words spell utterances, and utterances spell systems of order. It demonstrates that language is not passive but active law—the grammar of action by which the world is continually ordered.
