Winding road to physics / 30 October 2014

Winding road to physics

When I was a student of high school, I hoped to learn physics at university. But from various reasons in fact I learnt language at university on the other still longing for physics.
After graduation I once worked as a high school teacher and eight years passing over I returned to university for investigating language study. On the way I again met CHINO Eiichi in 1979, from whom I ever learnt Russian in 1969. By his teaching I had distinct aim for my study on language, making clear description to others using mathematics being assisted with physical thinking or approach. Mathematics was always set in my mind but my talent was not overtaken to its hardness. But aiming clear description to every situation I decided to learn again or thrice to make a new stage where I decided to come back to my starting point of youth being fascinated to physics.

Under the Dim Light / 1 August 2012

Under the Dim Light 


                                   
I frequently talked with CHINO Eiichi at the coffee shop near the station we used to get on. The shop was at the second floor and the steps upstairs always sounded squeaking. Under the dim light the topics of conversation was on language or linguistics after all. He was already the university professor but I was a poor research student. But he was always showed me the general tenderness. 
The subject he gave me were impressive and useful for me, in which the most important is the history of the Linguistic Circle of Prague and the excellent pioneers of language study. He had of course the unique approach to the study but I had never any conspicuous one except boundless interest on the study.
In his wide and precious telling for me I gradually determined my course to proceed. It was the making of basic and radical foundation on natural language by searching the structure of language through simple and clear description. For keeping this difficult aim I had a decision that there was only way to use mathematics that I had abandoned at the past for its hardness.
In my age 20s, I had read Ludwig Wittgenstein and Nicolas Bourbaki in concentrating. I did not clearly understand  Wittgenstein’s approach. But I borrowed his writing style that was simple and clear. So my early work’s descriptions were nearly at him. But I decided that I never adopted strongly-intuitive thinking.
I always considered mathematical basis or analogy. My aim was the independence from the intuitive description. Keeping on this course, there was seen the mathematical basis that I must adopt the model in which language universals are clearly described. I entered to the mathematical description of study that was confirmed premises of my way.

A trace of student who has been enchanted with language and mathematics

TANAKA Akio


What have you thought being enchanted with mathematics?
It is hope that is given to every person. For me It is mathematics. It can describe almost every thing on language if I do not give up and pursue on. (This part added at 16 November 2014)

The Time of Language Ode to The Early Bourbaki To Grothendieck / Note added / 28 October 2014

The Time of Language
Ode to The Early Bourbaki To Grothendieck




In early 1970s, I had think of language from the side of mathematics, that level of mine is very low and primitive, moreover I never had any talent to mathematics.
But my eager to trying the approach was going to overcome hard barriers before me. So the route had really fascinated my mind for long time.

At that time I had read Chinese classics almost every day. WANG Guowei*, DUAN Yucai and WANG Yingzhi. They were giants on Chinese language historically and modernly.
On the other hand I had thought of language generally, not defined by Chinese.
But in front of the vast world of language, I had stood still lonely, not taking any method for approaching.
Mathematics was the only gleam of hope in the wasteland.

I never took the route of ordinary linguistics.
I really dreamt a dream that time.
There exists set theory before me.
Probably there was the influence of Bourbaki**, that several translations to Japanese, shared from Tokyo Tosho Publisher, were on the desk of mine.
My talent and endeavour were so low, so I had not any results at that time.
My desire was deep but my hand was so shallow.
The time passed by.

In 1979 the meeting again with CHINO Eiichi*** made me the chance to learn on language, the object was clear and direct.
Language universals by mathematics became the never-ending goal of the study hereafter.
Sergej Karcevskij**** gave me the courage to the research.
All the way to investigation were taught from CHINO, who was the genuine teacher on language.
In mathematics I took the route from geometry, especially by projection.
Now I stand at algebraic geometry.
Grothendieck is in the northernmost at the end of Bourbaki.

SAITO Takeshi said at the essay on Grothendieck***** that the object of mathematics for Bourbaki was the set of being attached by construction and the object of mathematics for Grothendieck was the object of category representing the presentable functor.
The time has come for describing****** on language by mathematics despite my poor ability.
Sincere thanks for the pioneers letting us make the fascinating route of modern mathematics.

[Note, 28 October 2014]
When I first learnt French in 1964, I was the second grade of high school. My aim to learning was to get the lowest readable situation for modern poems of French Symbolism represented by Arthur Rimbaud and Paul Verlaine. Afterwards in 1969 I knew the importance of Martinet's work at the linguistic class of university. Probably in the early 1970s, I bought Bourbaki's books at the old-book-shop at Kanda, Tokyo, when Bourbaki's fame reached to the poor-talented linguistic student like me. I was enchanted Bourbaki's works and I somehow would like to adopt their results to my linguistic study. But my mathematical level was too low to get near Bourbaki's world. From those days my wandering around mathematics and linguistics kept long long way like the Beatles song, The long and winding road. What I again met mathematics, especially algebraic algebra was already over the twentieth century. From 2003 I began to write papers being assisted with CHINO Eiichi's advice and Sergej Karcevskij's work. At that times Chinese Qing dynasty's vast linguistic works topically represented by WANG Guowei was also assisting my study. At the result my first satisfied paper, "On Time Property Inherent in Characters"1 was completed. The theme in my life, model making of  language universals was begun further later in 2008 at Zoho site 2 sekinanlogos 3. At Complex Manifold Deformation Theory 4 I started writing more clearer descriptive papers by mathematics especially according to algebraic geometry. And now I step up one more and entered in arithmetic geometry 5 for solving more difficult themes such as dimension, synthesis and fusion of meaning in word.

Bourbaki's ELEMENTS DE MATHEMATIUE, THEORIE DES ENSEMBLES is the datum of my mathematical thinking in youth time in the late 1960s to the early 1970s. So I was also one of
the product of the  Bourbaki's age. I have confirmed that the basis of mathematics is in the freedom as the saying of Cantor. This book reflects the great flow from Cantor.

Read Andre Weil 




                                     
Read WEIL’s Elliptic Functions according to Eisenstein and Kronecker, 1999 by Japanese translation, Springer-Verlag Tokyo, 2005.
Seems to be a fantasy of mathematics, but very pitifully the real beauty of which will not be recognized in so long time for me.

In September 15, 2011 I wrote the paper, Loop Time of Character, that paper, using elliptic curve, shows the structure of infinitely repeated time in language which theme was early treated for the language model of mine.

The paper, On Time Property Inherent in Characters 2003 was written on the time that determines the linear-like grammar of classic written Chinese through the study on WANG Guowei‘s papers on ancient Chinese inscriptions on bone and tortoiseshell.

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.

If C live, he also may ask me, "What  are you researching now?" 
And I also will answer him as same as ever. 
"I have pursued universals, never done facts, without repenting." 

Oh C, if you live, will we also talk on language?
At the table facing each other under the low ceiling of the shop going up the steep stairs. 
The name of the shop is California.

For the memory of our daily forgetful life,
its never miserable though poor all over,
I will write down our delight.

And I also will answer him as same as ever. 
I have pursued universals, never done facts, without repenting.
