Chapter 72 In Full Swing [Fourth Update]

Wang Qi's proficiency in language was not acquired by himself, but was a gift from the God of Beauty. He can only assume that he knows it but does not know why it is...or conversely, he knows why it is but does not know why it is.

He kind of understood some of the core concepts of language - because these can themselves be related to mathematics.

This is a clear context. For Wang Qi, it is like there is a branch supporting the development of this knowledge, and it is clearly visible.

However, he had no material to fill this "skeleton".

His understanding of "language" itself is still insufficient.

Therefore, he needs to turn to the Yu Clan for help in some aspects.

However, this is not about learning the philology of the Yu people.

Because the philology of the Yu people still focuses on exegesis.

The so-called "training" means to explain the meaning of a certain word in popular terms, and "exegesis" means to explain ancient language in contemporary terms.

In the eyes of today's people who are accustomed to vernacular writing, the parallel prose of the Tang and Song Dynasties is considered obscure and difficult to understand, but in the eyes of the people of the Tang and Song Dynasties, the ancient prose of the pre-Qin Dynasty is just as awkward and clumsy. Language is always changing, so ancient texts always need to be reinterpreted by modern people.

But...

This still belongs to the analysis of text from a historical perspective.

That's not what Wang Qi wants.

In fact, his purpose was to hand over his half-finished linguistics to a Yu clan, and then learn from each other with this Yu clan to perfect this linguistics.

The Yu tribe was considered to be the best-tempered, easy-to-learn, and easy-to-control race among the young intellectuals he could find.

He was reassured by this cooperation.

Zi Xuyi became frightened: "This... what Mr. Wang Qi wants to do is a lasting achievement..."

Wang Qi was stunned: "It's only Qianqiu?"

Chomsky has changed human cognition, human thought, and the world itself more than most philosophers. Once Wang Qi completes this achievement, the benefits will not only benefit Wanfamen, but also Tianling Ridge, Qianji Pavilion and even the entire human race.

Even the entire talisman system and spell system had to be rewritten.

This is no longer a "thousand-year achievement".

"But it's my fault. The wording is inappropriate. What Mr. Wang Qi has to do is a feat that will never be easy. If I participate in it, will..."

Wang Qi waved his hand: "It would be good if you could find a few more Yu people who are interested in linguistics. I just want to complete this subject, and I have no other requirements."

Zi Xuyi naturally thanked him without mentioning it.

A few hours later, he found several more Yu clan members. Wang Qi had an impression of them all. They were probably from the same batch.

These scholars also attended the imperial banquet and were deeply impressed by Wang Qi's courage to "use the bright moon as ink".

One of the officials asked tremblingly: "At the beginning, Mr. Wang said that words are also objects and can be studied using the principles of studying things... Is this the principle of studying things?"

Wang Qi nodded: "Of course."

Several members of the Yuan Yu tribe almost burst into tears.

They finally learned the art of sending their own people to hell, but also awakening them at the same time.

Wang Qi didn't want this.

He knew that he was just "playing around" at the beginning. Even the "ultimate poetry recitation" only adds a little basic algorithm of deep learning.

We are still miles away from linguistics at the mathematical level.

Next, he needs to face this seriously.

In the following days, Jipai was extremely busy.

In the past, Christian researchers were driven by their own fanaticism. But now, in addition to their desire for knowledge, what drives them is an inexplicable sense of tension.

The Dragon King's prophecy was like an invisible ghost chasing behind them. They could clearly feel its existence, but they couldn't sense it, couldn't fight it, and couldn't express it. They could only speed up a little bit so that the ghost couldn't catch up with them.

But they knew very well that the ghost was destined to catch up with them.

In addition to participating in the daily discussions of the fundamentalists, Wang Qi spent time in the Yu tribe's settlement, and occasionally took Chen Youjia there with him. Wang Qi plans to leave the “practical” aspect to Chen Youjia—including creating new languages ​​and the like.

He, on the other hand, focused on theory.

Although the language of calculators is fundamentally different from natural language. For example, in natural languages, the most interesting grammar is the grammar of context-sensitive languages, but in calculator languages, the most useful grammar is the grammar of context-free languages. However, both of them are "languages" after all - and on Earth, this theory can be regarded as a relatively well-developed branch of computer science.

Chen Youjia is competent enough for this part.

While he was doing this, he was also looking for another thing that he had only heard of in his previous life, the "word problem" - determining whether any two given words can be transformed into each other by using a production in a specific grammar. into each other.

This problem is related to functions and collections. This is where linguistics meets pure mathematics.

For example, many algebraic structures express themselves naturally in generated forms—groups and semigroups, for example.

This "expression" seems like we are conveying a linguistic concept.

A semigroup is a weak form of a group, and it is not feasible to find its inverse existence for every element in the semigroup. Mathematicians on Earth have studied the word problem of semigroups and determined that the "word problem" algorithm of semigroups does not exist.

It may be said that it is difficult for most people to understand.

Well, to put it another way, this is a non-artificial undecidable problem.

This is enough to prove that the problem of judgment is not just a problem of "logic", or that "logic" is not just something created by human beings.

It even has a subtle impact on leaving behind the formal systems discovered by Gödel, Church and Turing.

Wang Qi plans to use about a year to complete this activity.

While conducting research on formal linguistics, Wang Qi's style of work was also changing.

It’s not just this physical body that goes about its daily activities here. Even the body of the beast mechanism cluster that is peacefully operating in the orbit of the planet is undergoing changes.

His breath is changing every second, and the boundless operators in his body arise and die randomly.

With each birth and death, these operators become more powerful.

And Wang Qi's magic power is also more powerful.

Only Ke Lanyin vaguely felt this.

He looked at the boundless starry sky outside the Tiangong magic weapon, and looked in the direction of Wang Qi's body.

"Young man, you are really remarkable." Ke Lanyin said.

The young man Ai Ziyi said: "Among the new generation of geniuses, Wang Qi is naturally the most outstanding."

"Yeah..." Ke Lanyin said: "What a pity."

Ai Zigui asked in confusion: "What did Uncle Taishi say?"

"Such signs of prosperity may be just a flash in the pan..." Ke Lanyin said in a low voice: "God is going to force me to leave the clan again."

In Wang Qi's impression, almost all of the 20th century on earth was the cycle of Li Zong - because from Hilbert to Bourbaki, Li Zong was brilliant and dazzling in this era.

But he did ignore the Earth Lian Zong who was suppressed by the light of the Earth Li Zong in that era.

In addition, in this world, you are always alive.

"I am like this, Dai Wei is like this...will Wang Qi follow in my footsteps now?" Ke Lanyin lamented.

In the eyes of the humans in this world, Lian Zong has always been as fierce as ever. As for Li Zong, although it had its heyday, every rise seemed to be accompanied by a huge fall. Ke Lanyin became obsessed with plotting against the emperor and was almost completely disabled. Xi Baiche was denied his lifelong ideal by Wang Qi's article and almost closed himself off. And now, Wang Qi doesn't know who will die at the hands of his family.

Ai Zigui didn't dare to answer. Tai is just a disciple that Grand Master Uncle likes and takes with him to give advice. His research talent is not as good as his cultivation talent. But he was embarrassed to speak about the conversation between the top geniuses of the Immortal Alliance. Even if they are considered members of the Songting Sect and are naturally on the side of the Lord emotionally, there is no way to say "retribution" - after all, they are all sect members and seekers of the Tao.

But Ai Ziyi still couldn't help but wonder - who exactly, with what theory, and when did he surpass Wang Qi?

Ke Lanyin said: "Tell me, am I too harsh on Wang Qi because of Xi Baiche?"

It is different from the relative silence and misery in the Tiangong magic weapon.

Wang Qi is really excited.

He can feel his progress.

"Linguistics...formal linguistics...the combination of group theory and functions, and words..."

"I feel that the birth and death of the hexagrams in my body are more consistent with the flow of heavenly skills..."

"Group theory... functions... and surface and number theory..."

"That's right, group theory, functions, surfaces, number theory...plus philology...the pieces are almost gathered together. This great project can begin."

"In addition, functions...layer theory-transformation between functions..."

"Sheaf theory... this is back to the basics of fundamental arithmetic..."

"Homology, cohomology, quasi-theory [K theory]..."

"The tools needed for string theory have been gathered together..."

"Li Algebra, Xiangyu Heavenly Position Skill..."

Wang Qi murmured.

Other exercises can be classified into the "power system" category.

"Linguistics" assumes the fusion of his Yuanying, Yuanshen and the method of transformation.

That's right, almost all the techniques were integrated into one by him.

Wang Qi can feel that as long as he completes the next step of theory, his body can go further. Many completely different systems of practice will be refined into one by him.

He can even hand over the "unusual" path that only he has completed so far to others, and let others use the beast mechanism to complete similar practices to himself.

This is the transformation of "odd numbers" into ordinary heretics.

Not only within the human race, but Wang Qi and even the entire universe can be called "self-created".

Moreover, the heretics he teaches are still first-rate and powerful.

Invisible strings extend from his soul.

“The next step is to toggle them!”
