Inverted linguistics?

[DeMolecularTraveler]

Something amazingly simple yet often overlooked occurred to me the other day while looking at my beautiful kitty.
We call it a cat, but we have no idea what it really is.
what the eff is that?
Just because we label something, that label does not, cannot define that something.
This can be applied to everything.
What if we stripped away labels from everything?
This is a very simple idea, but very profound also.
Then in my efforts to describe hyperspace and the indescribable, a thought came to me.
Would this everyday reality become hyperspace if we took away all the labels and utterly meaningless descriptions?
Is hyperspace simply the inversion of linguistics?
Anyways, just some thoughts I had and I thought I would share with you all.
Thoughts?
Much Love, Much Respect

It's an interesting thought. I agree about labels being mostly just arbitrary and meaningless, but they are useful. Not really useful in defining the "thing" since really all "things" are just part of a massive cloud of energy... like in reality my table is not separate from my computer, they are both part of the same cloud of atoms which, when you get down to fundamentals, is just energy... but the labels are useful for communicating (for example so that when I order a computer from ebay I don't get a table through in the mail, lol). I don't think dropping the labels in communication would be particularly helpful to anything, but dropping them in your mind (or rather, being aware that they don't really mean anything) is probably a useful exercise.

Totally dude. Our language is a perpetuating description of reality that could be infinitely different based on what that description is. The truth is undefinable it seems; for if it were definable, it would simply be a particular interpretation.

Dissecting reality can be so enlightening sometimes! Kudos.

The only difficulty if we shed all these labels is if we wanted to communicate to each other. Maybe we wouldn't need to at that point, we could just understand each other. Who knows?
