aUI, the Language of Space, is my father's* contribution to 'Peace through Understanding' - a language built on a proposed set of semantic primes, akin to the atomic elements of the Periodic Table.
We are becoming more and more aware of the stark disparities in ways of thinking and even in what is deemed reality and truth – of what goes on in our mind vs. what actually happens out there in the material world. Ideally, these two spheres become congruent as we learn to see the world as it is. But it is true that most languages are built from arbitrary signs that have no relationship to the real world. What if language could act as a facilitator of reality rather than a screen that tends to separate the inner and outer worlds? What if language were built on iconic pictographs that gave us an anchor in reality? And concepts were built from these primal, fundamental roots of our material and mental world into molecules of meaning?
