Re: Marpha and Ryslan
You see, Natural Language boils down, forgive the tautology, to language. That is, to the consideration of your "ambiguities, partial sentences, idioms, context, or change of usage over time (e.g. 'wicked' in 1955 vs 'wicked' in 1995)", to the consideration of the external form, the shell. This is the External theory's (of Analytic Philosophy, Moore-Russell-Wittgenstein) approach.
I see language as becoming (in the sense of John, St.Paul, Maimonides and Hegel) - as a differential function, with its limit. There are two sentences:
- Alice.
- Alice is getting better.
where the first contains a none-predicative definition, which is a limit for the predictive definition of the second; this is and my Differential Linguistics and "my" Internal theory.
AI learns, strives toward its limit, has a differential nature (as we are) - this is called Machine Learning, which makes AI different from a computer.
