Phonemes, letters and codons Phoneticists analyze speech on the basis of phonemes, the elements of spoken language. Written language is encoded in letters. In the realm of consonants, phonemes are often affected by interaction with neighboring sounds. In Russian for example, almost every consonant can be presented by either a soft or hard phoneme, depending upon the following vowel. In light of the preceding information, I feel quite justified in using written texts for my language analysis, considering them to be a close representation of what is actually encoded by the brain.
Reasonable approximation is in the nature of any scientific study.
Where an approximate approach leads, precision will follow. It is also worth mentioning that the Chinese consider the eight symbols ba gua to be their ancient alphabet, although contemporary Western scholars view them as purely magical symbols. Interestingly, throughout history the number of sounds in the musical scale has always corresponded with the number of codons in my brain code. From ancient times through the sixteenth century the Chinese used a 5-tone scale. The old European octave had 8 tones and the more recent half-tone octave has 12 tones.
