Hi Ron Yes, only via words does the world emerge from experience. Prior to our linguistic evolution there were experiences and qualities and values I guess but only a somewhat limited range of recognised patterns, somewhat hazzily recognised. Something as complex as a world emerges somewhat later in language & culture I imagine. Language is a form of SQ, it helps reality-experience to evolve and develop I'd say. The qualities that emerge into experience are enhanced by language. Language is a tool for active experience and controlling experience and its possibilities. In fact the power of language for handling & exploring SQ creates a problem. The problem of SOM where we cease to acknowledge the importance of DQ and see everything in SQ terms. That's how I see the role of language.
