All about Brad McFall.

McBrad, I also did suppose he wasn't human. See here for example. I see he's still around. If you're word dyslectic Brad, maybe you can respond with AUDIO-FILES. Or, maybe you do have FRIENDS, who can make clear who you are. I hope I can make sense to you by capitalizing.PS: I did read only the first and last pages of this thread, sorry if I missed something.This message has been edited by Saviourmachine, 01-11-2005 12:54 AM

Hi Brad! You're welkom, having SPx or not. I love you.Thanks for the link to the text about Boscovich. Spivak connects Kant & New Hollander.I like the colours. And about the ideas the pentagol symmetry of the anus in the seacucumber and the starfish.
I like to develop an iconic language in the near future, maybe we can start to communicate by then. If and only if you're able to formulate conclusions, to summarize (in stead of hypothesizing and elaborating).
This reminds me to the interesting questions about how language can describe language, how to explain thoughts. How can someone (you) explain how he (you) thinks?___
Jasen, I didn't notice the rewriting of my name until now. How dare you!? :-)

Hi Brad, yes I know VIL. There have been a few attempts to compose an iconic language.I want to study first the conceptual accuracy, completeness and speed performance of sign language. Maybe that will help me to decide about the survability of an iconic language.

Icons
Sorry Brad, I've a long way to go, before I'm able to translate your posts to an iconic language. Besides, I'd rather like to develop some Iconic Editor so you'd be able to 'write' in icons yourself.Audio
Why do you need an audio hosting service? A normal hosting service with audio-files would suffice, isn't it? Or do you want streaming audio? Here (My website talks) can you try that for free (for a month). And see here (Free Web Hosting Services) for just 'normal' free webhosting (100-150 MB). You need to upload with e.g. SmartFTP or the Secure File Transfer Client.This message has been edited by Saviourmachine, 01-26-2005 18:30 AM

Hi Brad! Thanks for the files. I appreciate it very much.

Hi Ben, thanks for your thoughts about iconic language.1. About the cultural aspect to human language. Yes, that's one thing I'm 'afraid' of. That it's a parallel to ecological systems, with niches to be filled. And species (language species) that are optimized locally. Language 'in broad terms' (mathematics, chemical notations e.g.) are specialized too.2. Interesting. I read that the shorthand version of SignWriting was better than ordinary steno (readable by third parties).3. Thanks for the book title. The efficiency seems to be comparable between a signed and spoken language. Yes, I found a study in which our short memory capacity may be found guilty in respect to that. In that case, the conceptual speed with the aid of an iconic language can't perhaps be accelerated.4. Thanks for the paper! Sometimes it's harder to find articles that are critical than ideological. Fact is indeed that Esperanto didn't make it.Yes, next time I will open a new thread about iconic communication. I neither want to waste bandwidth in Brad's thread. Thanks for your time!

Hi Brad, have you read "Stranger in a strange land" [Robert A. Heinlein]?
