Dear friends,
Greetings.
We had our first snowfall of the season last Tuesday. I will be visiting India
in January third week and stay till the end of March. I will try to visit scholars
to learn about vedic recitation. Our veda reading here is interrupted through
a medical situation in my friend's family. We have completed the fifth Mandala.
We plan to continue in Jan.
I want to share my algorithm for concept formation and speech. I have been
speaking to different scholars to create clarity in my thinking. I have a three
layer neurological model. The primary layer is our capacity of comprehension.
This is the layer of cosmological बुद्धि that constitutes the human brain.
It is derived from nature and is labelled as सत्. Comprehension is maintained
by a set of primary proteins. This layer has no motion, no expression. It is
governed by prepositions उपसर्ग that connect the concepts. उपसर्ग s are
built-in neural structures, twenty are recorded by Panini. They are computational
in protein chemistry. The next layer is the literature layer created from the
tags of the primary layer. The tags are inbuilt through the airflow in the body.
These tags are neurological, a subset is recorded as Paninian syllables. We
compute these, many tags are unable to be acoustically expressed. They
are expressed through the muscles, eyes or blood flow. The origin of a tag is
through action, a धातु in Paninian terminology. धातु s are equilibrium modes
of brain oscillations, which is a new finding in neuroscience. We would need
substantial help in धातु classification in a cosmological sense. This layer
operates through imagination कल्प, a faculty of the brain. कल्प uses the
original brain concepts but manipulates the action arbitrarily to create an
imaginary literary universe. It uses grammar derived from the observed variation
of concepts manifested through action धातु. धातु s are finite quantized registers
determined by the oscillations which appear through multiple frequencies
and different rates of synchrony.
The third layer is the local layer of operational speech. This uses the brain
faculty of imitation, obtained through evolution. Here the concepts can be
artificial and the grammar totally local. I have not identified the proteins yet,
but they appear to be short-lived and unstable. I am working on the third layer
now.
I will explain the model in a seminar on Dec 20. I am giving the announcement
below. You would appreciate the science though it might appear involved. It is
multi-layered with a lot of complex processes underneath. We build through the
available data points from the Vedas (steady syllable sounds, a physical constant
in the body) and adding from Paninian grammar (modeled on the basis of empirical
speech). I convert the observations to neurology to find a closure in the brain.
Let me express my gratitude to many here who have helped me to probe
literature through fifteen years of my association with the BVP.
Prof Subramanyam Korada, Prof Ashok Aklujkar, and Dr BVK Shastry have been
particularly helpful in the construction of the model.
Best regards,
Bijoy Misra
