the one thing that has stuck out is emotion is an infinite language. everything in the universe can be described by emotion. the same cannot be said for all spoken and written languages combined, including mathematics. a good example that came to mind is emotional identification of an object such as a lighter. a child gets burned playing with it. he then emotionally identifies that object (in an emotional recipe) with two parts pain and one part sadness and three parts this or that. it is a very specific identification for that individual. another childs experience is limited to watching his father light the grill with it. to that child it may mean yummy delicious food. so each childs experience with the lighter gives it a different meaning.
