I think I am going to do a quick video or audio or live chat tomorrow on Operational Language. Maybe 5-10 minutes. Because I have had all of this in my head, and now that I’m trying to produce a course on it, I understand what *everyone* (not just you who follow me) have been getting ‘wrong’ with the operational revolution, and why it stalled. Its not all that complicated. But you know how anything expressible in mathematics can be expressed in ordinary language and vise-versa? But we use the symbols for purposes of brevity? Well the same is true in language. We can express in ordinary abbreviated language or in fully expanded language. And we can infer (variables) in ordinary and mathematical langauge. But by fully expanding ordinary language we can identify the variables ( inferences ). etc.
So it’s not like I”m asking people to write in fully operational grammar. It’s that by practicing fully operational grammar you eventually won’t need to practice it any longer.
It’s more that we need to be able to fully expand a simple sentence into operational grammar. And if we can’t do so then it can’t be ‘true’.
So the reason to understand it is to test yourself, test others, and to write and test law. It’s not so that we actually use the stuff.
Sort of like diagramming sentences.
