Q: HOW DO YOU USE THE TERM “GRAMMARS”?
I have complex reasons for doing this, that involve explaining the physical and biological origins of language and using language to unify the sciences. But that’s not important at the moment.

1. I use ‘Grammar’ in the conventional sense.
2. I use ‘Grammars’ in a novel sense, of the permissible dimensions of reference, the vocabulary, logic, and syntax of a paradigm WITHIN a language.
3. This is an oversimplified chart using a simple hierarchy to illustrate what is a more complex set of relationships:

UNIVERSAL TO PARTICULAR GRAMMARS:
Human Sense, Perception, Integration, Autoassociation, Prediction
Human Memory
Human Attention
Human Recursion
Human Wayfinding
… Human Grammatical Capacity
… … Universal Grammar (the rule of continuous recursive disambiguation)
… … … Languages
… … … … Grammar of a Langauge (rules of disambiguation)
… … … … … Phonology (sounds)
… … … … … Morphology (words)
… … … … … Syntax (organization of words)
… … … … … Semantics (meaning)
… … … … … … Paradigms (permissible dimensions)
… … … … … … Metaphysics (presumptions)
… … … … … … … Logic of a Paradigm
… … … … … … … Vocabulary of a Paradigm
… … … … … … … Grammar of a Paradigms
… … … … … … … Syntax (organization) of a Paradigm
