This note alludes to what may be in store for language, history and psychology. We do this both as individuals and as a culture or society. To deny our experience is to deny our consciousness and relegate ourselves to the status of machines. But that is another story. Language is the mechanism by which we develop a shared view of reality.
Language can have many forms.
As each individual added their statements, there was an attempt to put the imagery into an overall connecting context. In many cases, there were errors in the statements and the individuals negotiated over which information was definite and which was conjecture and so resolved differences and built a composite view of the reality they experienced while captives of the aliens. While one of the prime uses of language is with respect to the development of a shared view of reality, language has another major role to play and this is to develop and execute transactions between people, such as commercial transactions. The pictographic language form was grounded in nature, as it was composed of symbols of men, women, animals, plants, sun, water, earth etc. There would appear to be two important points to make in regard to pictographic language.
