Language independent

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The knowledge science of Richard L. Ballard states that theory-based semantic technologies are language independent because their concept, idea and thought patterns are faithful representations of the language of thought that occurs in the human brain, not in language. Language is descriptive and for that reason, highly ambiguous. There can be multiple meanings for words, or multiple words to represent a meaning. Theory-based semantics regards language, and more appropriately, the words of language, as dataforms, being no different to the software than an object such as a "gif", "jpeg" or any other object.

For this reason, Language of thought concept, idea and thought pattern representations, once captured, are easily and cost effectively output to any language.
