THE FALL OF THE WORD AND THE RISE OF THE MENTAL...

The use of mental imagery and mental models can make a substantial difference to language and
thinking  which improve by using them. This happens because knowledge can only be stored in
homeomorphic  spatial structures. Words are addresses that the brain uses to locate the
simulacra it has stored. Accordingly  the traditional view of knowledge is untenable: knowledge
is not stored in language-like propositions. The philosophical and mathematical arguments
claiming propositions exist  are erroneous. Language is learned naturally when words  sentences
and the structure of the situation are experienced simultaneously. Grammars are geometrical
systems that cannot be expressed in words. Their diverse geometries result in different
experiential and behavioural consequences for different languages.
