f you go to the website and click on "Labels" and choose "Anti-Languages", you can browse and see the posts under that category. The paragraphs in English, and the bibliography, both give you a fair complete set of articles, theses, and papers related to private languages, antilanguages, agrammaticalisation theory, the grammar of silence, etc. You can also click on "Books by Label", on the top bar, and look for "Anti-language". Or use this link here: www.forgottenlanguages.org... I cannot give you a ready-made definition of what an antilanguage is or is not, much as you cannot give to me a definition on what a language is or is not. A Google search for the term 'language definition' gives you 460,000 results. The search for the term "anti-language definition" yields just 74 results. The definition of anti-language in Wikipedia goes as "An anti-language is the language of a social group which develops as a means of preventing people from outside the group understanding it". It is a very poor definition which actually applies to jargon or private languages, even to technolects or sacred languages, but not to anti-languages. For translation avoidance I can give you an explanation, though. It is the use of techniques to avoid a given language to be translated into another language. Much as you can avoid people from visiting your web, by IP-blocking (you can even block a whole country), you have the right to avoid your texts to be translated. It is your right. You also have the right to counter those content-based advertising techniques, by simply using an antilanguage which prevents the computer to scan your text, extract some keywords, and display a contents-related advertisement. This also acts as an effective counter-spamming technique. Finally, much as you can use Google Translate to translate a given web page written in a language unknown to you, you can use your own translation system to translate into your native language the contents of, say, our web site (which is what we do). In essence, we are countering the abuse by third parties of your website, something that will become a serious issue in the future. Hope now is clear.
Hmm... but the idea was not to generate a cryptic language of some sort. The idea was this: - to analyze syntactic and morphological drift for a given set of languages, and to explore whether such a drift produces a semantic drift correlate. In order to do so, we designed a software, called Nodespaces, that acts as a genetic algorithm that takes as input a given language and then, by stimulated annealing, subjects the language to a set of stochastic rules. If we consider the language as a complex adaptive system, by changing the boundary conditions the language is forced to adapt itself, thus changing its syntactic structure and its morphological internal structure. Obviously, a boundary condition was this: change as you wish, but the change must yield a syntactically and phonetically coherent language. The result shows that language is also a dissipative structure, one that can finally derive in a total colapse of communication, unless you impose some restrictive superstructure upon it.
Chinese is derived from pictograms, not an alphabet, and it is read right to left. Does it communicate anything that cannot be communicated in English? I think not, it's just another vessel with which to serve a function.
If members would like to continue to speculate about spooky hoaxs and other misnomers they can but for those interested in harder research and understanding perhaps the research should be in the research department and not in a secret society forum.

Did anyone else think about Crop circles being a fractal language used by Extra Terrestrials to talk to us? Again, a language made up of fractals and symbols, that could possibly correspond to sound or frequency, and then onto colors and visuals. I don't know why, but that's what the concept of Cassini Diskus made me think of. Except it's our version of a universal language, to reply to them. The name of the language itself seems suggestive. Cassini has many possible astrological references.
reply to post by JayinAR It does make sense in its sequence you just have to apply the idea of node mathematics to it to see it I posted a link in this thread multiple times that explains this but in a nut shellwhy not assign a color for every word in the english language there is sufficient colors to cover multiple languages to be more thorough. then you apply a symbol and arrangements of colors and symbols would form a sentance the relationship between symbols and colors then also dictate the time sequence. now check it out "This is how it is done: every symbol encodes a shape, a color, and a position in the sequence, as you can see. If you now assign a specific shape to a frequency, a specific color to a pitch, and the position within the sequence to an amplitude, your information is now... sound." then you get a math equation sin(x)+cos^2(x) like you would for a graphing calculator here and assign a function (to x) in that sequence and then you can recall vast amounts of information in a tiny package, Ayndryl explained this much to me I will admit at first I too thought it was purely written but my views on this has changed with the information I have been gathering It is for the purpose of being auditory only edit on 13-7-2013 by Brotherman because: (no reason given) edit on 13-7-2013 by Brotherman because: (no reason given)

You can disagree and I respect that but you are grossly wrong read some of the posts I think my contributions to this thread are coming to and end very soon

4. We know that the system in place in our culture is the result of the logocratic view adopted.
16. It is exceedingly difficult to say whether language, as an instrument of continuity and permanence, is failing because the rhythm of existence has accelerated increasingly since the Industrial Revolution, or the rhythm of existence has accelerated because human interaction is no longer at the mercy of language.
