Universal Grammar and Consciousness
Daegene Song

TL;DR
This paper explores the connection between universal grammar, consciousness, and quantum theory, proposing that shared innate structures underpin both language and collective consciousness, with implications for understanding self-reference and interconnectedness.
Contribution
It introduces a novel analogy linking universal grammar to consciousness continuity and extends Levi-Strauss's universal culture concept to collective consciousness.
Findings
Proposes a cyclical-time process linking universe and mind
Suggests universal grammar relates to consciousness continuity
Connects shared cultural structures to collective consciousness
Abstract
The orthodox interpretation of quantum theory treats the subject and the object on an equal footing. It has been suggested that the cyclical-time process, which resolves self-reference in consciousness, interconnects the observed universe and the mind of the subject. Based on the analogy between cryptography and language, the concept of the common innate structure of language, also known as universal grammar, may be associated with the continuity in consciousness. Extending this connection, Levi-Strauss's proposal on universal culture may be considered as a shared structure of continuity among the consciousness of multiple subjects.
