Re: MIT claims to have found a “language universal” that ties all languages together
Spoken languages such as we use now came into existence after the event associated with the tower of Babel. Prior to that human communication was telepathic in nature, that is what the story of the tower means.

naw this God is luv is a hippie/heathen 60's attempt at infiltrating dogma. When hippie/heathens say 'love' they mean lust, or some dopey unconditional naive love. God is not a dopey naive.

Somebody at MIT must be reading their Bible?

“But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built. And the Lord said, ‘Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do: now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them. Come let Us go down there and confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.’”

(Genesis 11: 5-7)

“Therefore its name is called Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth: and from there the Lord scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth.”

(Genesis 11:9)

Until I see definitive proof in the form of peer reviewed research
PLUS loads of anecdotal evidence, I will stand in my belief that
there are two general forms of universal language:

Why is, ('IF') Universal language pre-determined,predisposed to ANGLO SAXON ?
Why did God start of in Paleo-Hebrew and suddenly decide"Mmmm ....English! yes that seems to fit the all the preconfigured architecural brain syntax".From the Darkest recesses of the Hyperborean forest the genesis of the gutteral Germanic 'Sachsen,Saexon'dialect utttered by a few thousand came to predominate.

Re: MIT claims to have found a “language universal” that ties all languages together
German could be an exception. They tend to make long sentences and stack all the verbs of a sentence at the end.

But yeah, I would agree that related concepts are generally closer together than random placement would have it. Is this surprising? Good writing will put related ideas into the same sentence, the same paragraph, the same chapter.

Calling this a "language universal" seems a hell of a stretch to me. But maybe someone will get tenure from it if his department is looking for a reason to grant it.

No there's no truncation error. Both sides were multiplied by 3, exactly 3, no truncation.

But then to solve for r in the final equation you get

1.11111... = 1/.9 = r

And for the earlier comment that this shows some flaw in mathematics -- what??

Re: MIT claims to have found a “language universal” that ties all languages together
Wearable tech will erase the language barrier. Before that happens, improvements must occur in AI voice to text dictation, wifi must be made readily available in remote areas, and the price point must drop in wearable tech.

After that, all the heavy lifting will be done via cloud computing.

Re: MIT claims to have found a “language universal” that ties all languages together
Not true , one of the reasons why Abraham and his language are now more than it appears, is its directly traced back to Noah, hence Adam. God/YHVH made the original language, and then created all the others at thr Babel division/separation. As additional proof that proto Hebrew script so called, is therefore the written expression of the language spoken by Adam , Noah and Abraham, is YHVH setting the genealogical records straight through Moses/Moshe, and actually writing the commandments twice on the Rock tablets.
This is also why the physical Moshe time ,ark of the covenant is far more than just confirmation of those events in scripture, placed within it are physical evidence of YHVH/God interacting with the primary now(and possibly all timelines concurrently at that time) timeline personally.

^This.

The original language was a form of Hebrew. All other languages came from the confusion YHWH created at Babel.
