Citation from Ludwig Wittgenstein

 Citation from Ludwig Wittgenstein

TRACTATUS LOGICO-PHILOSOPHICUS Translated by C. K. Ogden
Dover edition

Text is lined up according to the order of citation at the essay, The Time of Wittgenstein  
                                    
6.521
The solution of the problem of life is seen in the vanishing of this problem.
 (Is not this the reason why men to whom after long doubting the sense of life became clear, could not then say wherein this sense consisted?)

6.432
 How the world is, is completely indifferent for what is higher. God does not reveal himself in the world.

6.35
Although the spots in our picture are geometrical figures, geometry can evidently nothing about their actual form and position. But the network is purely geometrical, and all its properties can be given a priori.
 Laws, like the law of causation, etc., treat of the network and not of what the network describes.

6.54
 My propositions are elucidatory in this way: he who understands me finally recognizes them as senseless, when he has climbed out through them, on them, over them. (He must so to speak throw away the ladder, after he has climbed up on it.)
 He must surmount these propositions; then he sees the world rightly.

We were always sitting at the right end of the classroom, where the seats were near the entrance from the corridor, so classmates entered the room with rattling noises. But we liked the seats rather satisfying. We were G class of the third year of high school, which class was all hoped to go universities of the mathematical or science fields. The seats were free to sit but almost determined by the personalities. The serious were sitting at the comparatively before widows sites. The seats were quiet and easy to concentrate. We were also serious to the learning but liked probably the worst seats that could not concentrate by the various noises for entering and out-going to the room. But we loved the seats.

Sometimes over our heads vain calculate-papers were being thrown to the can behind us. KANEKO Yutaka and I first met  at this class and became best friend. He probably hoped to go to chemistry and I was physics. He was very good at mathematics and I was ordinary at math. I sometimes asked him how to solve the hard quests of math. At that time he smiled to me and said, ” there’s any little paper? The problem can be written enough by such a little space.”

Over the our seats, papers were frequently flown to the end of the class where the trash can was set always filled with the calculate-papers for math and writing of English memos. The members of the class were all eager to solve math quests for preparing to entrance examinations to the universities. At the result they threw the used papers over us towards the can. So around the can, the scraps were littered with. I was never tidy but I was the nearest one to the can, so I sometimes went to trash dump to clean the can.

After we graduated the high school,  he studied chemistry as planned at university. But I selected language study, not physics. I also liked  philosophical or linguistic fields for their long historical heritages. What I returned to the field related with physics was already over the age 30s. As a result my research object has been narrowed to language universals using mathematical writing or physical approach.

After half a century, he died by disease in his researching way' while I have learnt same theme on language using maths way not solving any quest from 1920s’ Linguistic Circle of Prague. Over my head still now vain calculate-papers are being thrown to the can behind us. If I ask him to help me for solving, he will say to me wanting tiny paper to write the simple answer with his dear smiling as ever.

John Donne

 For Whom the Bell Tolls


On 5 August 2019, we went to see the film Wim Wenders' Submergence 2017 at kino cinema, Tachikawa. Tokyo.

In the film, the sea and the rocks are frequently appeared as if all were born from those.
At the couple's conversation, John Donne's poem, For Whom the Bell Tolls is quoted.

No man is an ireland,
Entire of itself.
Each is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thine own
Or of thine friend's were.
Each man's death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.

31 August 2019

In summer 2013, I wrote a Haiku at my blog as the next.

This haiku was dedicated to John Donne.

I perfectly forgot this.

Yesterday I chanced to read the past blog and remembered the day.

when I was making a woodwork in the garden and heard the bell tolled from the Buddhist temple.

So I recalled the famous Donne's poem, For Whom the Bell Tolls.

 Historical note on study theme

 TANAKA Akio

Sekinan Library's main theme is language universals that has been researched since 1920s at Linguistic Circle of Prague that had been always put at the centre of the study.
In Japan, on Prague School, CHINO Eiichi probably first introduced systematically through his direct study experience at Prague between 1958 and 1964.

I first met with him in 1969 at Tokyo, from whom received Russian language at beginner's small class.
And after I again met him in 1979 for his lecture of structural linguistics., to which I listened till March 1986.

In this year  1986, I also started own object on language, which was language universals by mathematical description, surging from Nicolas Bourbaki, that were applied to wide and deep approach even at human studies.

For me algebraic geometry was the great aid to deepen the theme, to which I thought 1920s researchers had probably recognised its importance, but anyway seemed to be hard to operate with clear description at the field of phonology at that days.

In 2003 I narrowly wrote up a trial paper on characters, at that time not for total language, but I got the steady way to approach the hard target of meaning, through which I faintly could see a phase of the final target, language universals.

How is the time alive in language?

 

How is the time alive in language?

When one first hear the existence of time in language, he may doubt its certainty. But I have intuitively believe it since I learned the ancient Chinese inscription on bone ad tortoise shell (in Chinese called Jiaguwen). In my early 20s, I met with the book of Chinese modern linguists, WANG Guowei, this belief changed the conviction. His lifework book Guantangjilin is hard to read till now.  But some papers in it are always inspires me by his deep and vast insight to character, language and history of ancient China. He also wrote fine criticism on Chinese pre-modern poem Ci.The title is RenjianCihua. The book is one of my favourite books of Chinese literature. People sometimes say that he was the highest genius after Song Dynasty, 1,000 years.In 2003 I wrote a tiny paper hinted by WANG's paper. It was the first paper for me that I directly faced the time inherent in inscription using Jiaguwen's update linguistic results. The title is " On Time Property Inherent in Characters".

In summer 2003, I stayed at Hakuba, Nagano for a while for writing over the paper that was intended to present a symposium  at Nara in winter. The paper was taking up the structure of written language that was dealt with the relation between time and grammar. But I did not solve the question on with what shape language exists in the language world. What shape has language and at where space does language exist or float? The theme on space was hard to deal at that time. I only concentrated to the shape in space. At 28 August I was fatigued to think and went  for a stroll outside  the inn putting up. The place was at the mountain side of the Hakuba Range and there was only one convenience store, where I walked in the shop and saw one advertisement of electric pocket dictionary. I returned having this advert to the inn and read its sentences. At the very time I found the shape of language I sought was sphere that was inherited time in it, also having grammatical functions. The paper's title was named to " Quantum Theory for Language" by the shape of language. This was a really product of clear and fine atmosphere of Hakuba with a distant view of the North Alps of Japan.

From 2004 to 2008 I wrote some papers on inscription and language. But I was not satisfied inwardly for the style of intuitive approach to language. I wanted to write more simple and clear expression. For being realised of my wish, I definitely needed to use mathematical tools. I returned to my 20s days' reading of Bourbaki that was desperately difficult for may ability. I again gradually read mathematical books and journals for seeking useful source of my hope to converting to language study. A certain results that came to my papers with satisfaction was appeared in 2008 by the papers titled Complex Manifold Deformation Theory. 

 

•          Complex Manifold Deformation Theory / 2008-2009

 

Above all, the first paper in this group, I first defined the concept, distance by complex manifold.

 

•          Distance of Word /  30 November 2008 

The concept of distance was one of the most important themes on language, so I at early times wrote the intuitive paper, "Distance Theory".

 

•          Distance Theory / 5 May 2004

At the fifth paper of Complex Manifold Deformation Theory, I again challenged the hard theme of the time in language, titled to " Time of Word".

The definition of space in which language exists is one hard target for me to write satisfactory. A fixed results came to me at the papers group titles Symplectic Language Theory in 2009.

 

•          Symplectic Language Theory / 2009

    In the group, a paper focused on mirror phase on language became one peak for my writing.

5.

Related with the shape of language, quantization and discreteness on language was the urgent    themes for the further step of studying the total image of language I was pursuing. Floer Homology  Language was the one milestone for me to overcome to the next stage.

 

•           Floer Homology Language / 2009

In this group, the eighth paper was dealt with the quantization and discreteness of language.

      What situation does the time in language have? This question exists in my mind at the early days when I wrote the paper "On Time Property Inherent in Characters". The first step to solution was described at the paper " Prague Theory". The group of Prague Theory was written due to dedicate to Prague, The Linguistic Circle of Prague and Sergej Karcevskij with the memory of my teacher CHINO Eiichi.

 

•           Prague Theory / 2 October 2004

    In this paper, Chinese Character /kun/, that meaning is difficult in English, was used for the eternity of loop time. This loop time was also appeared in the paper " On Time Property Inherent in Characters". But Prague Theory shows more direct and compact by growing tree and its obstructive enclosing fence. This intuitive image was more clearly described at the paper " Word as Infinite Loop Time " at Infinite Loop Space Language in 2012.

 

•           Word as Infinite Loop Space / 6 December 2012

In this paper, time in language is clearly connected with dimension of algebraic group saying as the next. Word has dimension that belongs to algebraic K group.
7.
The relation between time and dimension was entered on a new phase at the learning of algebraic geometry, especially of arithmetic geometry. Arithmetic Geometry Language, abbreviated to AGL, was the starting papers for me to arithmetic method.

 

•           Arithmetic Geometry Language (AGL) / 2013

From these four papers, I concisely extracted the next three conjectures.

 

•           Dimension Decrease Conjecture

•           Synthesis Conjecture

•           Reversion Conjecture

At these conjectures, time inherent in language is in the basis of describing dimension, synthesis and reversion. The process of leading to the conjectures is over viewing the next.

Acknowledgement

Time inherent in language is a fantastic but as hard to pursue for me still now. I would examine this theme further more and more, probably till the end of my research life. Now all the thanks are going to The Linguistic Circle of Prague and especially its member Sergej Karcevskij, with my teacher CHINO Eiichi who taught me their precise information from his long study at Prague in 1960s.

For CHINO Eiichi

Golden Prague                                    

 

C also died early, who had taught me Russian and linguistics. He loved
the old city that had the beautiful towers and bridges.

In C's many works there was the essay "The Moon of Carpathians". He wrote 
that the conference was over, departed at Kiev, saw the moon and 
churches over the Carpathian Mountains, impetuously went to the west, 
passed Slovakia, Moravia, Bohemia, and at last reached "Golden Prague". 
Prague, it was his youth itself.

Now I cannot hear his voice telling the various anecdotes on languages, 
of which he freely had commanded. By the short heading, a newspaper 
reported his death, naming as  "the genius of linguistics".

Coffee shop named California

 

 

If C live, he also may ask me, "What  are you researching now?"

And I also will answer him as same as ever.

"I have pursued universals, never done facts, without repenting."

Oh C, if you live, will we also talk on language?

At the table facing each other under the low ceiling of the shop going up the steep stairs.

The name of the shop is California.

For the memory of our daily forgetful life,

its never miserable though poor all over,

I will write down our delight.

Ode to Kanda

"I need not more wander the book shop streets." / From Tale, Print, 2012

This tale was written by TANAKA Akio, pen-named LI Koh in autumn 2012 for remembering the poor but brilliant youth time of myself. This is one of my favourite phrases in this tale.

The book shop streets described in the tale is Kanda, Tokyo, which is located in the central Tokyo, where I frequently walked seeking the old Chinese classic books for the study from Oriental way of linguistics. In late 1960s, the streetcars were surely running in the old fashioned streets of Kanda, now perfectly changed to the subway streets. 

 

From Print 2012, Chapter 10

もはや本屋街をさまようことはない。I need not more wander the book shop streets. 対象は私のうちにある。The object exists in my mind. 私はただこの運河をながめていればいい。I would better watch the canal. 遍歴は終わった。Wandering is over now.  たぶん永遠にマイスターにはなれないだろうが、みずからの小さな仕事場で、日が落ちるまで作業をすればいい。Perhaps I would not become meister  forever. In my narrow working place, I 'd better do my work till sunset. すると仕事場の窓辺を聖者が通って行く。 So out of the window by the working place,  the saint passes by. かつてそんなロシアの民話を読んだ。I ever read the Russian folk tale like that. 

秋の日ぐれは早い。The Autumn evening is fast. 路面電車のヘッドランプがまぶしいくらいだ。The headlight of streetcar  is dazzling. 黄褐色の窓に少ない乗客が照らし出され、古本屋街の方へ消えて行った。In the yellow-lighten window the passengers are picked out by the light. The car disappeared  to the book streets. 駅の売店がにぎやかな橙の光に包まれている。The station shop is also lighted up by the yard's busy orange light.
