The Universal Formula of Language

This paper proposes a universal, species-independent formula for defining language based on entropy, structure, and intention. Drawing from information theory and philosophical abstraction, the model posits that any communicative system—human, animal, AI, or extraterrestrial—can be represented by the formula: L = H + C + E

Drawing from information theory and philosophical abstraction, the model posits that any communicative system—human, animal, AI, or extraterrestrial—can be represented by the formula: L = H + C + E
