43 The ambit of a disaster

Speaking about how much disaster a curse can cause, there is this minor information to be borne.

Consider a perfectly English work area ambience in India. Everyone speaks only in English. They address each other by name regardless of their age or position in the company. If this communication ambience is viewed in a software application, it would be seen that all individuals are at more or less the same height.

Suddenly a new supervisor comes. He is of middle level ranking. That means, by position there are people above him and also below him. He speaks in the native feudal language. He addresses everyone as per their position. At times by their age. The words for You, Your, Yours, He, His, Him, She, Her, Hers are also split into varying levels.

What happens?

Well, there is no need for him to go the full route in the verbal codes. Just one word in the local language, like Nee or Thoo to a subordinate who was till that time addressing all levels of people with a You.

Then the supervisor addresses a slightly senior person with an App or Saar.

Within moments, the whole social communication ambience rearranges into a pyramid like arrangement. In fact, more than one pyramid arrangement will get created. One based on age. Another based on job position. A third will be formed which will be a mix of both.

What about the human relationships? Well, people will react with anger and terror. There will be sharp acrimonious reactions and retorts at times. A new culture of back-stabbing can ensue. But then after some time, some of the issues will subside. As the new codes of communication sets in and everyone tries to fit in, to safeguard their job and position. In fact, protecting their position from the creepy competitions from the lower ranking persons would become a top priority.

This much change a single word code change has set in. But then, it is not possible to test this probability. For in India, there might not be any totally English social communication work area. Most are actually a mix of both communication systems. They would have reached a particular level of communication, adjusting to the requirements of both systems.

Why I mentioned this much is just for this reason. There was the query of what would be the effect of curse of a Serpent, if it indeed can send the codes via some biological data sharing system? Well, simple codes or even a single code can lay waste a whole software system. That is the reality.

If indeed it can get the codes of the curse inside, then complicating a man’s life can be done. Every single relationship can be made to move from their innate location in the design view. Angular components of links of relationships will change. A small change is enough to change the whole heights and distances. Things will go haywire.

To substantiate this quite ridiculous postulation, I need to mention a particular thing I had observed and made a note of.
