Codes of reality!
What is language!
The shift in the triangle
What happens here is this: every individual is linked to others by words (which are really software codes). These links are lines. When three persons are thus connected, naturally one can imagine a triangle. That means, between each of these three lines, there is an angle. When each or any one of the persons concerned moves from his position, there is a change in the angle. This in turn changes the direction component, and thus the pulling and pushing force of the lines are also changed.
Just consider this scenario: There are three persons. One is a financially sound businessman of age 43. Then there is his 50 year old driver, who is from a schedule caste (low caste in India). Then there is a young engineer of age 30. Now, in this particular social setting, the communication links can be in different manners. It all depends on individual mental stamina, which in turn is dependent on certain other things.
There are different hierarchies that can be enforced. One is that the driver is the eldest. He can be called Chetten by the other two, and addressed as Ningal. In which case, the word for He would be Avar (respected person). In this case, usually the businessman would not be very comfortable, for he would be placing his driver above him in the command structure. It can at times lead to complications.
The young engineer may also call the driver Chetten and Ningal. ‘He’ would be Avar. In this case, the young engineer would be below the driver, and he may be addressed by name, and with a Nee, and ‘He’ would be avan (lower person). The young engineer may or may not be comfortable in this situation. It depends. If he was brought up in this setting from his childhood, to a limited extent, he might not have problems. If however, this setting was enforced upon him, due to his younger age, he may be in a belligerent mood.
In this triangle, the driver has a higher value position, with the other two in more or less isosceles triangle mode; that is, two sides of equal length. Or the businessman can be nearer to the driver’s level, in which case the triangle would not be isosceles. Actually the side lengths can be changed by a simple change of word.
There can be other triangles also possible, instead of this. The businessman can address the driver with a Nee, and ‘He’ is avan. The young engineer can also do this, or he can give the driver a little more moving space by using the word ‘ayaal’ (middle level word for Him). He may call the driver by name, instead of using Chettan.
In this triangle, the businessman is having the highest position, with the engineer not much below him, while the driver stands far below at an acute angle vertex. The three persons are thus arranged and there are line-like-links between them, which have powerful pulling and pushing force.
Now, it may be borne in mind that in a society these three are not the only persons. For, there are an immensity of other persons (all occupying different locations in the 3-D virtual space) also interacting with them, using different levels of words which can literally pull, twist, crush, bulge and even stretch this triangle. However for the purpose of this example, we need not think about the effect of others around.
Now, this driver has a son who is a graduate. He writes for the Civil Service exam and gets selected into the IAS, the most powerful government position in India. Persons from scheduled caste do not have any minimum mark restriction and as per the statutory rule, a certain fixed percentage of schedule caste persons need to be necessarily passed every year. This rule was made because even though there was a reservation for the schedule caste, most of them were not able to get the minimum marks.
Now, this driver’s son is among the most important persons in the state. What happens to the triangle that is mentioned? The driver is connected to his son in another word code link. To the driver, the son is a Nee and ‘He’ is an avan. By just being able to use these words, the driver is above one of the most powerful persons in the state.
{It may be mentioned in passing that in English, the issue of the son being lower to the father, or the father being above to the son, is not there as is seen in feudal languages. Even if it is believed that it is so, the fact is that it is not anywhere near to how it is in feudal language social systems.}
When taken from a simple materialistic view, the driver now is not encase-able in the earlier words of Nee, simple name, and Avan or Ayaal. For the triangle has stretched in the opposite direction, with the driver simply elevating very high towards the upward arena. Now, even if the words do not change, they do get filled with different energies. If the words do change, the effect of the filled-in energy is more amplified.
The angle at which every one of the persons in the triangle is linked to each other has changed. The vertex of the driver sends two powerful lines at acute angle to the businessman and to the engineer.
The driver now is in possession of a different force or power component.
Now to extent this illustration, I need to mention that there are other people also in the society. They exist in various points in the 3-dimensional space. Some of them are directly connected to the above mentioned trio, by words of various indicant levels. It is a very complicated scenario. I had mentioned the trio connected in a triangle like link. The impression that may have been conveyed is that it is a planar link, wherein the triangle is in a vertical stance. However, the truth is that all the others in the social system, who are connected to the trio, do pull and push them to various positions in the space. So that in effect, the triangle exists in a 3-dimensional space, and not in a plane.
I gave this illustration just to convey the idea that in a feudal language, every man has a particular power component, which need not be static, immovable or stable. In social systems based on non-feudal languages like English also, there can be such power components, but because of the static nature of the words, the total effect they can have on the society at large is not much. However in the case of feudal language social system, this issue of power component is quite high and of very tragic effect.
