Using this word, I think form can be thought of as the mediation/indexical between information and exformation. That is form is the mapping between content and context.

Seems like this is indeed the case and TIL there's an entire Category Theory like vocabulary in linguistics! There are exorphic (outside) references and endorphic (inside) references of a deixis. Much similar to left/right adjoints as in Category Theory.pic.twitter.com/YDc7dLgd2D

Linguistics needs more recognition as a mathematical discipline. I found out about lambda calculus (and its beauty) not through CS theory but through a linguistics video.

I have a certain conviction there's an inherent geometry hidden in linguistics that can be revealed with category theory + embodied cognition. I intend to uncover it sometime soon. There's this neat work by

Love it love it, can't wait to see what you uncover!! Embodiment + abstract maths needs lots of attention. Sadly state of the art with fMRI+study design is moving slowly, but I'm confident that qualitative studies alone can inform the design of better mathematical tools

Indeed lots of work remains to be done in this area but I'm glad we are seeing a change in this space:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXZJvXgs0xk …

I haven't taken a deep look yet but I recently found out about a shiny new environment in that vein https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/homotopy.io …
