Description

What if grammar is not a list of rules, but a system of forces? In Grammar as Bidirectional Discretization, language is reimagined as a dynamic architecture shaped by mass, entropy, curvature, and permeability. Rather than treating words and structures as fixed symbolic units, this book proposes that grammar emerges through a bidirectional process of refinement and collapse: forms are built, stabilized, and discretized across layered domains from UCR to EXEME to TERM. The result is a strikingly original theory of how linguistic structure comes into being. Bringing together formal architecture, lexical ontology, and grammatical dynamics, this work develops a unified account of closure, installation, and domain formation, culminating in the bold Closure Conjecture and a proposed 24-domain grammar geometry. Ambitious, systematic, and deeply unconventional, Grammar as Bidirectional Discretization offers a new framework for readers interested in the foundations of language, the architecture of grammar, and the possibility of a genuinely generative linguistic ontology. For linguists, theorists of language, and readers drawn to radical new models of structure, this book presents a challenging and provocative vision of grammar as a living system of organized discretization.
