Letter to a friend. February 2024

 

Dear Sir,

Regarding Tsuneyuki KAWASAKI, I found a letter. I sent to a friend in my Gmail, so, now

I will send it to you.

The main thing I noticed was how amazing the teacher was at quoting the Man'yoshu.

As you also write in the letter, this was the turning point
for me to completely move away from history and return to my original language.

.......................................................

It's part of a letter.

The blue text remains the same.

.......................................................

After the lectures and seminars at Wako University were over and the students had gone home,

When I was talking face-to-face with the professor in the quiet lab,

It was an irreplaceable moment for me.

The conversation ranged from lectures and exercises to a wide range of topics.

The topics were wide-ranging, including the former First Higher School, his research at university, and his involvement with Mount Hiei after graduation.

In particular, he was deeply involved in the pioneering studies of Sanskrit, Tibetan, Pali, and other languages ​​that led the way in philosophy and modern Buddhist studies .

It was a sign of deep respect.

At the end of those days, the teacher would sometimes say,

His words were, "I have just done what I was given."

I didn't understand what the teacher was trying to convey to me by using the word "given. "

Although it would generally be taken as a sign of humility, I didn't ask my teacher.

I knew that the teacher would rarely respond to my questions in more detail.

In the summer of 1982, the editing of a three-volume collection of historical writings to be published by the University of Tokyo Press was almost complete the proofreading stage was underway.

The author, the editors of the anthology, and the publishing company were all involved in this work.

Because I was involved in the chronology and bibliography, the publishing company asked me to also proofread the text of the entire anthology .

The university had already entered summer vacation and my regular night shift work had almost finished, so

From July to early September, I was dedicated to proofreading the text of all three volumes.

This was my first time doing such serious, responsible proofreading work.

I didn't know how to properly proofread, so I worked by going back and forth between the text and the typesetting many times.

And at that moment, the image of people who lived their lives wholeheartedly in history , something that had previously been completely invisible to me due to my lack of talent , emerged from each and every sentence of the professor's essay.

The teacher had quoted an exquisite poem in an exquisite place.

Although it is excluded from this collection, a careful reading of the first volume of the anthology, which deals with the relationship between ancient literature and history, reveals that

When just one poem by a poet who has only one or a few poems published in the Manyoshu was placed in the description of the professor's essay, the poet's entire life was revealed as if it were being surveyed .

More than any commentary on the poet or the waka poem, the deep and broad world that the poet had experienced emerged from .

The professor simply quoted that poem at a certain point in his essay .

The teacher truly " just did what he was told to do."

But through this encounter,

As a result, it has disappeared from history.

To me, my teacher's world was separate.

From now on, I will return to the world of language, which was my original subject .

The road from then on was long, long and winding.

His theory gave me a vague idea of ​​my own state of being in this world . I too felt that
I had to do my own thing .

Language itself taken as a given.

Reread Andre Martinet's ELEMENTS DE LINGUISTIQUE GENERALE, 1970. When I was a student in 1970s, the book was already determined the established reputation. Now at rereading, I confirmed that one of his most concerned thing was the amalgamation of moneme, which is still radically never solved . But by his approach or any other similar approached researchers, Martinet-like style of studying is very difficult to progress. I have taken the another way to think on the themes influenced from KARCEVSKIJ Sergej (the early example ; Holomorphic meaning Theory 2008 ) by using the mathematical methods, especially algebraic geometry.

Recent result on the relation between characters and time in language is shown below.

Abstract 2022
Translated by Google 2025

 "In my case, I also liked poetry, and my university teacher taught me haiku in a friendly manner.

However, in the end, even though I was well aware that I was not talented, I returned to the fringes of academia.

I am still on that precarious journey.

From my language teacher, Eiichi Chino

　"Don't make it so difficult.

　It's not our job."

Despite being strongly scolded, I continued on my journey.

　Love the language,　

　I love mathematics,

　I love English expressions,

For the past 20 years, that's pretty much it.

It has been made public on the Internet.

The articles posted on this relatively old website
were gradually being read around the world.

Over the course of twenty-odd years, it has exceeded 200,000 pages.

It has become.

My philosophy of expressing language in mathematics
remains unchanged to this day.

It is true that language cannot be expressed in language.

Because it’s at the root of who I am .

Twenty years ago, the concept of quantum physics

I tried to express the language using

Fortunately, this essay was rare,

The international symposium held in Nara

I was one of four presenters in the Language and Literature category.

However, at this stage, the quantum itself is not expressed mathematically.

I wasn't able to do that.

However , around 2000 , the mathematical concept of quantum groups
began to spread, and now the physical concept of quantum

It can now be clearly expressed in mathematics.

This is my current stage.

But I still don't understand anything about the language itself.

That is my current situation.”

1.
I wrote a paper titled Quantum  Theory  for Language in 2004.
This paper was read at the international symposium on Silk Road at Nara, Japan in December 2003.
The encounter with this time's persons and thoughts are written at The Time of Quantum  in September 2008.

2.
This paper's concept was prepared at Hakuba, Nagano, Japan in March 2003.
This concept was jotted down at the hotel of Hakuba so the publication became late till 2015. The title was named Manuscript of Quantum Theory for Language.
3.
In Autumn 2002 I was hospitalized by pneumonia for two weeks, when I thought to put the linguistic research on old Chinese characters so far in order. The result was arranged as a paper titled On Time Property Inherent in Characters also at Hakuba in March 2003.
4.
Quantum Theory for Language was added proviso, Synopsis, because the paper was thought at that time as a role of a rather long mathematical paper's preface on quantum theory on language.
5.
In 2005 Distance Theory was written as a successive paper of Quantum  Theory  for Language. In those days Reversion Theory in September 2004, Prague Theory in October 2004 were successively written.
6.
Time passed by rapidly.
After some preparations of mathematics, I wrote successive papers related with Quantum Theory for Language. von Neumann Algebra was put at the centre of preparation. The days at that time was simply wrote titled as The Days of von Neumann Algebra and The Days between von Neumann Algebra and Complex Manifold Deformation Theory in 2015.
7.
von Neumann Algebra succeeds from 1 to 4. 2's Generation Theorem was written in April 2008. After von Neumann Algebra, Functional Analysis was written. 2's Generation of Word 's result is directly connected to Quantum Theory for Language's mathematical background.
8.
From 2008 I frequently used Zoho site because of easily writing by mathematical equation system. Complex Manifold Deformation Theory was the first result of Zoho. At Floer Homology Language some complementary fruits were gotten for Quantum Theory, Homology Generation of Language in June 2009 and Homology Structure of Word also in June 2009.
9.
Algebraic geometry had been consistently flowing in Quantum Theory.
Recently written Connection between early paper's quantum and recent paper's geometry, November 2017 summarizes the situation at that time concisely.
In July 2017,  The comparison between 2003 and 2017 From Chinese character's meaning structure to Homological algebraic model of language universals was written looking back the days of  quantum.
10.
Quantum Theory's time series representative is the following.
(1)
On Time Property Inherent in Characters 2003
Manuscript of Quantum Theory for Language 2003
Quantum  Theory  for Language 2004
Reversion Theory 2004
Prague Theory   2004
Distance Theory 2005
Generation Theorem 2008
Generation of Word 2008
Homology Generation of Language 2009
Homology Structure of Word 2009
(2)
von Neumann Algebra 1-4 2008
Functional Analysis 2008
Complex Manifold Deformation Theory 2008-2009
Floer Homology Language 2009
(3)
The Time of Quantum 2008
The Days of von Neumann Algebra 2015
The Days between von Neumann Algebra and Complex Manifold Deformation Theory2015
Connection between early paper's quantum and recent paper's geometry 2017
The comparison between 2003 and 2017 From Chinese character's meaning structure to Homological algebraic model of language universals 2017
11.
Basis of On Time Property Inherent in Characters 2003, Manuscript of Quantum Theory for Language 2003 and Quantum  Theory  for Language 2004 are all led by Qing Dynasty's linguistic (Xiaoxue) tradition, especially from WANG Guowei, whose influence is written at The Time of WANG Guowei in December 2011.
12.
In 1970s at my age 20s, while I had read WANG Guowei, also read Ludwig Wittgenstein, from whom I narrowly learnt writing style that was maintained through early papers. On Wittgenstein I wrote The Time of Wittgenstein in January 2012. Especially written essayFor WITTGENSTEIN Ludwig Position of Language intermittently wrote from December 2005 to August 2012.    
13.
WANG Guowei taught me the micro phase of language and Edward Sapir taught me the macro phase of language. His book,  Language 1921 shows us the conception of language's change system, Drift. I ever wrote 
some essays on him and his book titled Flow of Language in September 2014.
On Edward Sapir I recently wrote a essay titled Edward Sapir gave me a moment to study language universals together with Sergej Karcevskij  in July 2017. 
14.
I met again with CHINO Eiichi in 1979, from whom I learnt almost all the contemporary linguistics' basis, because of my bias to Chinese historical linguistics ( Xioxue) and Japanese classical phonology in characters. Reunion with CHINO was written at a essay titled Fortuitous Meeting What CHINO Eiichi Taught Me in the Class of Linguistics in December 2004. Also wrote Under the Dim Light in August 2012, CHINO Eiichi and Golden Prague in June 2014, Coffee shop named California in February 2015 and Prague in 1920s in April 2016.

15.
CHINO Taught me the existence of Linguistic Circle of Prague and Sergej Karcevskij  at Prague in 1920s. I wrote Linguistic Circle of Prague in July 2012 and also wrote on Karcevskij, Gift from Sergej Karcevskij in October 2005, Sergej Karcevskij, Soul of Language in November 2012, , Follower of Sergej Karcevskij in November 2012  Meaning Minimum On Roman Jakobson, Sergej Karcevskij and CHINO Eiichi in April 2013 and For KARCEVSKIJ Sergej from time to time.

16.
In 1970s, I also learnt mathematics for applying to describe language's minute situation. I had thought that language had to be written clear understanding form for free and precise verification going over philosophical insight. When set theory led by Kurt Godel was raised its head to logical basis, I was also deeply charmed by it. But even if  fully using it, language's minute situation seemed to be not enough to write over clearly by my poor talent. The circumstance was written titled ​Glitter of youth through philosophy and mathematics in 1970s in March 2015. .

17.
One day when I found and bought Bourbaki's series Japanese-translated editions, which were seemed to be possibility to apply my aim to describe language's situation. But keeping to read them were not acquired  at that time. So I was engrossed  in Chinese classical linguistics achieved in Qing dynasty, typically DUAN Yucai, WANG Niansun, WANG Yinzhi and so forth. The days were written as  The Time of Language Ode to The Early Bourbaki To Grothendieck.

18.
Algebraic geometry began from von Neumann Algebra. After these days, Zoho time came to me. Its first result is shown as the title Complex manifold Deformation Theory in 2008. Distance of Word in November 2008 is a mathematical conclusion of Distance Theory in May 2005. Zoho's main papers were seen at the site Sekinan Zoho.

19.
Distance Theory has some derivations towards physical phases in my thought. Distance Theory Algebraically Supplemented Brane Simplified Model was written in October-November 2007. Each paper is the following.

Distance Theory Algebraically Supplemented
Brane Simplified Model
Bend
Distance <Direct Succession of Distance Theory>
S3 and Hoph Map 
Physics was one of the most fantastic fields in high school days. I ever wrote the days of yearning for physics and after that. Perhaps Return to Physics in April 2014, Winding road to physics in January 2015, Thanks to physics about which I ever dreamt in my future in April 2015, 

20. 
After 2008 at Zoho sites, mathematics based language papers were successively written aiming clearer definition. Zoho's annual papers are shown at Sekinan Zoho's Zoho by year from 2008 to 2013. While I continued writing papers, my aim was gradually changed to confirm language's basis through mathematical, especially algebraic geometrical description by language models a little parting from natural language. The circumstances behind confirmation was written at Half farewell to Sergej Karcevskij and the Linguistic Circle of Prague in October 2013 and 40 years passed from I read WANG Guowei in November 2013.

Note
On David Marr and Grisha Perelman 
5 June - 7 June 2020
Geometrization Language

David Marr's Vision 1982, Marr refers to possibility for the existence of modular design at the upper place in language. He also says that there needs multiple description to research meaning.
The book gives me a bit different way to approach to the root of language aparting from ordinary mathematical method of mine, but if anything, nearly to geometry, in my way, ,Perelman's.
Refer to the next two paper groups, especially at Heat equation and Geometrization Conjecture.
Heat and Geometrization has been the most important target of my research since about 2018.
