The Days of Ideogram

​The Days of Ideogram

​TANAKA Akio

1.
The 21st century will become the century of ideogram.
The history of ideogram succeeds from Egyptian  hieroglyph to Chinese character.
The reason is below.
a.It is intuitively understandable.
b.It sends big information.
c. It is easy to manage for stability.

2.
Probably in summer 1977, I was  designing for a paper on the sentence in language. The central part of the paper was connection between words or sentence, in which the logic of  language would be shown using the set theory as a simplified model of true and false. I was strongly influenced from Kurt Godel, Gaishi Takeuchi and Bourbaki. But this design was abandoned for my lack of mathematical basis keeping on.

3.
In 1980s and 1990s I was lost in learning Chinese classical character theory, Xiaoxue, especially Qing dynasty for ideogram's fundamental property. At this period I did not write any paper on language. I solely read WANG Guowei, WANG Yinzhi, DUAN Yucai and Qing dynasty's linguists.

4.
In Autumn 2002 I got pneumonia and was hospitalized about 2 weeks, where I thought of 1970s' dream, writing clear description on language universals by mathematics. The theme was as hard as ever. So, at the bed I thought the basis of language from the side of Chinese character’s classical approach which had vast heritage till Qing dynasty. I directed my attention to the character's figure which had compound meanings containing time elements continuing from Yin dynasty's hieroglyphic characters left on bones and tortoise carapaces some 2400 years ago. I thought that Chinese characters had containing time and its structure could be written by geometric approach once I had abandoned for difficulty. After leaving hospital, I wrote a paper titled On Time Property Inherent in Characters.  

5.
In 2003 staying at Hakuba, Nagano, I wrote a rial paper on language universals from the viewpoint of physics. This was remained manuscript till now. The title was Manuscript of Quantum Theory for Language for the time being. Because in summer 2003 I wrote the first paper on language universals from physics titles as Quantum Theory for Language which was read at a conference held in winter  2003 of Nara Japan.
