We have no brain; we are BRAINS. Each one of us is a complete nervous system
who has a body more or less under his (or her) control. We know objects by
the many ways they simultaneously affect our senses or, otherly said, when
they 'object' to our presence and request changing our behaviours.
Conversely, how could we create new objects, ideas, poems or theories
without a capability for synthesizing complexity from elements?
Languages are mandatory for structuring and developping conscious thoughts.
Common or specialised, they are tools, materials, operators and assembly
practices at once, not only for communication but also for building
'mental' objects either from faint ideas or from actual sensory inputs, both
categories emerging from the same type of signal : pulses and pulses trains
.
