METASYNTAX #89

Metasyntax is an abstract work on dimensionality.

Syntax is theoretically unidimensional. A syntactic sequence can provide meaning from the interaction between its elements. This sequence is symbolized by a series of shapes piled along a single axis. These shapes can either overlap by themselves, of through their respective spheres of infuence. As such, they collectively project a simple representation of what is at stake with syntactic relationships among lexical agents.

The "meta" aspect is intuitive: this work is an abstract representation of unidimensionality that yields a two-dimensional image computed from a three-dimensional paradigm.

The twist of Metasyntax is hence to be an abstract projection that is quite literally what it is.
