What is Grammar?

[Phil8659]

Grammar Systems are methods of information parsing, established on a particular method of recursion.

The Universe affords us examples of things. What do they all have in common?
Each thing is some parsed material difference, i.e., a binary relationship. Quality and Quantity, verb and noun, relative and correlative, we have many word pairs to describe it.

Which one of the two is a given, and which one can we apply?
The Universe affords countless examples of material differences which can come in countless shapes, or forms. In short, matter is given, and learning is learning how to parse it, how to make specific things with it.
All of this with just two parts of speech.
To learn what the four basic grammar systems are, we simply multiply the intelligible binary by the physical binary. Physically every grammar system uses symbol sets and each one of them is managed using a particular method of recursion. We have then a Grammar Matrix of our four historic systems of grammar upon which all attempts at creating a civilization requires. Common Grammar, Arithmetic, Algebra and Geometry.
As Plato noted, the perceptible can never be intelligible, nor can the intelligible ever be perceptible. For example, is there such a thing as a cat that looks like the word cat? Never going to happen.

There is no tree which appears as the word tree, and the same in geometry, no relative difference will ever look like a line.
Language is Universal and Intelligible, while Grammar is Particular and Perceptible, therefore, no grammar will ever look like or even be Language.

Words, names, in of themselves have no meaning. Just like a cluster of numbers have no meaning. Meaning depends upon an arithmetic or geometric identity establish intelligible, i.e. a social convention.

As words, in of themselves have no meaning, they are variables, No word is a noun, or a verb, but these names are used to name nouns and verbs, so they come into meaning by naming particular relatives, particular correlatives, to construct the names of particular things in a particular systems of grammar, all by a convention which requires a minimum level of intelligence. Our species has yet to even construct a correct dictionary. We only know grammar in a colloquial manner, a prerequisite to learning formal grammar. Thus, we are proto-linguistic, a point I suspect NASA knows, just stating it got me permanently banned from NASA's website. How can you possibly comply with first contact protocol, which requires the exchange of linguistic data, when you are provably proto-linguistic? Cannot happen. and if enough people figure that out, NASA would incur an insufferable dent in their budget.
