Modeling the statistical structure of language absent any context is a bit like modeling the latent space of all airplane cockpits. It will enable you to generate new realistic airplane cockpits via interpolation, but it misses the purpose & the broader context of this interface

In particular, language seems like a hypergraph index to latent causality. I constrain words to be robust handles to my mental motions. By sharing this index, different agents can enforce symmetry between their inner causalities (which also have symmetry with external ones).
