Klingon

I was listening to C2C the other night, which I do only about twice a year, and some nitwit said Klingon was a language. OK...someone has fallen down the rabbit hole and we're not in Kansas anymore.

Actually, Trekies have developed Klingon into a viable language.

I think there are conventions where it’s spoken; weddings done in it etc.

A-G, bb, .30 . . .

Following is a description by alias “Isaac” about the “language” on the drones. I find the description . . . somehow . . . triggering thoughts of GOD SPOKE THE WORLD INTO EXISTENCE . . . etc.

That God’s Word does not return void, is somehow operative in and of Itself, so to speak.

I’m not at all alleging that what’s described below is somehow the sort of thing involved with God’s Word being Itself operative—at least not in degree, purity, whatever. God is still far above all else including such technologies. But somehow, it reminds me of that. Not sure therefore what. But it’s interesting.

I like the idea that God’s Words are operative, powerful . . . and they don’t need any special material to be written on, in the presence of any special field. They are operative over the whole of all the Created Universe. Interesting concepts.

- - - = = =

But their technology is different. It really did operate like the magical piece of paper sitting on a table, in a manner of speaking. They had something akin to a language, that could quite literally execute itself, at least in the presence of a very specific type of field. The language, a term I am still using very loosely, is a system of symbols (which does admittedly very much resemble a written language) along with geometric forms and patterns that fit together to form diagrams that are themselves functional.

Once they are drawn, so to speak, on a suitable surface made of a suitable material and in the presence of a certain type of field, they immediately begin performing the desired tasks. It really did seem like magic to us, even after we began to understand the principles behind it.
