This is a legitimate post for how we're going to learn an alien language. If I'm completely wrong about all of it, well whatever than it's like a fun LARP game or something.
But here's the thing. The idea is that *resonance and encoding* are both important. The languages that we're used to do not require resonance in theory to be used (even though we actually do unknowingly). But alien languages *rely* on resonance as a component. They can't exist separately. HOWEVER: To learn them, you can start by learning them as encoded principally. But you have to know that it won't be the real deal until you start employing the resonance factor as well.
*RESONANCE EXAMPLES*
"I feel like it looks like this"
"I feel like that symbol should sound like this . . . "
"I feel like when I make this sound ( . . . ) it should mean this ( . . . )"
"This feels off. This doesn't feel right somehow."
"This feels right! I'm sure this is the language!"
*ENCODING EXAMPLES*
"I don't know, did you look up the word?"
"Yes, I know what you said, but are you referring to the definition via Oxford Circa 2025 dictionary? Or Black's Law version 6?"
"Please read footnote 5 for the reference to my source for this phrase."
*Parallel to how our language works today.*
"Well the dictionary says it means this"
"Yeah but bro have you been on tiktok lately? This is what people mean when they say it now days: . . . "
*Parallel to how it works in the galaxy out there.*
"I used that symbol to mean "hungry elephant" "
"Yeah but that's not the symbol for "hungry elephant" anymore, bro. Sorry. But that changed yesterday. Now it's this symbol. Didn't you feel it in the field?"
*HOW WE WILL ADAPT THE LANGUAGE*
We allow a soft separation of both to begin with. We're not used to this, we shouldn't forcefeed ourselves.
We have 2 separate paths that we learn individually.
*THE ENCODED TEXT*
It's not "the language" it's more like a shadow of the language. Like the "yesterday's version but we'll use it for now" . . . we allow those whom can speak it to encode the text for us. We learn it. But we realize that we're only learning it for now. The training wheels will have to come off and we'll have to "feel" it as it changes.
*THE RESONENT TEXT*
We have fun and get creative. We draw stuff, write things, and don't care if it "makes sense" in the way that we're used to. Just like kids. We put stuff up and go "I don't know what do you think" and you can see a symbol or something and go "wow that's beautiful, I think it's true!" Or you can be like "meh, that looks like junk to me. Sorry bro."
It's not important how we appropriate it to begin with, because we're not assuming it's THE language. But *TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS* you are probably seeing a crucial *PIECE* of how it works, so just post stuff without thinking too much.
That's how we learn this.
*We have a resonant side where we just make "random" stuff and see how it feels as it builds.
*We use the "encoded" stuff that "they" give us. Whoever you want "they" referring to. But I do mean the good guys.
