Mind Body Lang

//about

This project is just a little constructed language I started. Some of the core concepts I wanted to emphasize is the concept of abstract and real. In particular a way of communicating abstract concepts in mathematics and computer science. Until I have a name for it, the language will be noted as MBL (Mind Body Lang).

//alphabet

I have studied Japanese on and off for the last few years. While the language has less sounds than English, I think their consistency (with few exceptions) makes it for a much more understandable language. The character 'a' makes the 'a' sound in almost all cases. Because of this simplicity the MBL alphabet is very much based on a similar structure of syllable letters.

Real and Non-Real

There are three syllable types in MBL: Null, Abstract, and Real. The set of real syllables is typically used to define physical objects, and the set of abstract syllables is for defining abstract concepts or non-physical things. They are not strictly restricted to that rule. Null syllables may be found in either real or abstract words.

Bridging

The real syllable chi, abstract syllable si, and null syllable shi are the connecting syllables. These are typically seen when connecting real and non-real ideas.

-Null

The syllables: a, i, u, e, o, and shi are a shared set of syllables not between the abstract and real classifications. Every other syllable has two or three characters.

+Abstract

A	I	U	E	O
ka	ki	ku	ke	ko
za	zi	zu	ze	zo
ra	ri	ru	re	ro
da	di	du	de	do
	si

+Real

A	I	U	E	O
na	ni	nu	ne	no
ma	mi	mu	me	mo
pa	pi	pu	pe	po
ga	gi	gu	ge	go
	chi

Syllable Pattern

There's a general syllable pattern you may see within MBL where a gradient of meaning occurs. For example, the a syllables will typically mean positive, true, bright, hot, etc. Where the o syllables will typically give a negative, false, dark, and cold type of meanings.

true	less true	neutral	less false	false
a	i	u	e	o

a by itself does not necessarily mean true, but it implies a true meaning. Even in other syllables such as ka, pa, and na. Note that shi, si, and chi are not on this gradient. Those syllables would imply unknown or Schrödinger's cat.
