Because 1) language requires no translation from experience 2) language is relatively easy to record, communicate and analyze.
Thus it is inevitable that our language will slide from “reflecting reality” to “reflecting itself”.
Consider where that’s going.
I personally think the second language is easier to pick up because languages are 99% alike. But that is beside my point.
My point is that slide into self-reflectingness.
Like one of those old xerox machines. A copy of a copy of a copy… till the original image is gone, replaced with something crazy.
So, you’re interested in entropy, as it applies to information?
