A distinctive part of every human system is language. Existing language sets the stage for what can happen next. We cannot develop beyond our language.
Science is a language.
Professions are languages. Cooperation and coordination of action are a matter of language. As we develop a language around something, we create the privilege of access, common understanding, and mastery for others. As human affairs emerge and organise, language provides a means for developing and settling a system. There is a particular aspect of language, contracting , which provides the possibility for the making of contracts that encourage and support the coordination of action in a social context.
