Example of Grammar Two Symbolic Writing

Ordinary translation

It must be said that the human being, facing the inexorable (fatal) passing of time, is characterized by a willpower that is implicit in him. The human being has always had to persevere, since his appearance on Planet Earth, in his learning, professional and domestic activities, that are fulfilled. He must recognize his limits but he is aimed at continuous self-improvement, developing in an infinite manner. Although there have been natural disasters and diseases throughout human history, an ideology characterized by misanthropy and cosmic pessimism cannot be justified. We must point out that it is absurd that the human being should passively accept such a negative ideology. The human being consists of spirit and material body. These are compared so that divergences emerge. In particular, we must concentrate on the fact that the human body is essentially something which is controlled by spirit. It must be stressed that the human spirit in the earthly context corresponds to a force purifying evil. If the human being continues to commit crimes, he does not deserve to be defined as spiritual.

Brief overview of the verbal tenses in Symbolic Grammar II

In this short video, I will provide you with a very brief picture about verbal tenses in Symbolic Grammar II. In the next updates, I will explain the verbal structure underpinning the various verbal tenses :

Here follows the back translation of each symbolic sentence. In order to have a general idea about the verbal structures, you can stop the video and look through the following explanation. All the elements are literally translated, reading the symbolic sentences from left to right.

First sentence (Simple present):

Crimes – to commit (applicative function) – human beings

Second sentence (Present perfect) :

Genitorial body – to generate (applicative function) – someone (those) – conceptual full stop – to shadow (applicative function) – childhood (temporal specification) – to be in (spatial meaning) – human beings

Third sentence (Historic Present Perfect) :

Crimes – Conceptual full stop – to commit (applicative function) – Planet Earth (spatial specification) – to be in (temporal meaning) – human beings

Fourth sentence (Simple past) :

Crimes – conceptual full stop – to commit (applicative function) – the past (temporal specification) – to be in (temporal meaning) – human beings

Decomposition of the element “the past” : symbol of moral negativity + hyphen + symbol of time

Fifth sentence (Simple future) :

Crimes – conceptual full stop – to commit (applicative function) – the future (temporal specification) – to be in (temporal meaning) – human beings

Decomposition of the element “the future” : symbol of mental projection + hyphen + symbol of time

Sixth sentence (Infinite past and future) :

Infinite past – Discontinuous conjunction “and” – Infinite future (both elements joined together by the conjunction “and” form the temporal specification) – to be in (temporal meaning) – the universe

Decomposition of the element “Infinite past” : symbol of universal moral negativity + hyphen + symbol of time + operative function + symbol of emphatic function (the Infinite past is interpreted as an emphatic form of the simple past)

Decomposition of the element “Infinite future” : symbol of mental projection + hyphen + symbol of time + operative function + symbol of emphatic function (the Infinite future is interpreted as an emphatic form of the simple future)

Seventh sentence (Plenitudo temporis aeterni) :

Hobbies (Grammar One compound) – conceptual full stop – to persevere in (applicative function) – Infinite past – Discontinuous conjunction “and” – Infinite future (both elements joined together by the conjunction “and” form the temporal specification) – to be in (temporal meaning) – I

Decomposition of the Grammar One compound “hobbies” : symbol of ethical monad – operative function – symbol of emphatic function

The decompositions of the infinite past and future have already been illustrated.

Decomposition of the subject pronoun “I” (Grammar One compound standing for the agent part of the Ego) :

Symbol of universal moral negativity – symbol of innate spirit (and also human reason) – operative function – operative function of ethical stabilization (first double arrow) – operative function – operative function of “putting into practice in a concrete everyday life context” (second double arrow)

The Plenitudo temporis aeterni refers to “intentionality” rather than “action”. By stating that “I persevere in my hobbies in the infinite past and future” I do not logically mean that I have always persevered in my hobbies before my life and I will continue to do so forever after my life”. Instead, the sentence has the following meaning : in my earthly life I hypercategorically conform to an ethical principle according to which “I must always persevere in my hobbies”. The PTA (Plenitudo temporis aeterni) differs from the simple sum of infinite past and future (solely involving the elliptical verb “to be”).

The main features of Symbolic Grammar Two

Grammar II is a revolutionary system of rules characterized by original grammatical categories forming its basis. Here follows a list of the main revolutionary aspects :

1) The category “verb” is called “applicative function” and is made up of two basic components : “applicative” and “applicative medium”; the former indicates that there is a transformation whereas the latter specifies the kind of transformation; the verbal system includes some revolutionary tenses, such as the stunning “plenitudo temporis aeterni”;

2) The category “clause” (including the verb “to be”, the stative verbs but not the characterization function) is called “verbal function”, which generally consists of three components : “the applied element” (object), “the applicative function” (verb) and “the applier” (subject);

3) Subordinates are interpreted as complementary sentences of the main clauses; it is the symbol located at the top right of the characterization symbol to define the kind of subordinate; nonetheless, not all the complementary functions are subordinates;

4) The full stop does not exist. Each symbolic sentence is introduced by a beginning marker and closed by an end marker;

5) The grammatical system includes a series of divisor devices : the characterization function (plus its emphasis) and the conceptual full stop (plus its two emphasises); the conceptual full stop is a key device in the formation of relative clauses;

6) Modal verbs are seen as verbal modifiers along with the negation “not” and other symbolic devices;

7) There is a level going beyond the verbal one, i.e. the so – called “macro – verbal”. The “macro – verbality” is a highly important grammatical innovation;

8) Adverbs are etymologically interpreted as additional verbal information and this is clearly supported from the graphic point of view;

9) Adjectives are represented in different ways, from the graphic point of view, according to whether they are “predicate” or “descriptive”; possessive adjectives may either appear explicitly (through an intermediate function) or be elliptical (marked in bold within the treatise);

10) There are different kinds of verb “to be” : “to be in (temporal)”; “to be in (spatial)”; “to be (universal)”; “to be (particular)”; “to be (opinion level)”; “to be (divine)”; “to mean”;

11) Comparatives and superlatives are formed thanks to nominalized forms of the predicate adjective;

12) There are various devices used to avoid repetition of information.
