| - | I have been searching the forest for physical structures that may share properties with formal linguistic Context Free Grammars (CFG). CFG's where introduced more than fifty years ago by Noam Chomsky, whom claimed that they come something close to a Universal Grammar, and thus are capable to model any natural or artificial language. A stronger claim is that they represent actual structures in our brains, and that all animals (and plants) capable of using language are born with these structures. | + | I have been searching the forest for physical structures that may share properties with formal linguistic Context Free Grammars (CFG).

| Through my examinations of evolutions phylogenetic trees, I have come to the conclusion that they have such a strong resemblance with Chomsky's CFG's that they probably may be mapped against each other; there are possibilities for mapping the the mathematical beauty of poetry against the mathematical beauty of the forest. By a thorough examination of these phenomena, and by modelling a system from the results, one should be able to read the forest as a text. | Through my examinations of evolutions phylogenetic trees, I have come to the conclusion that they have such a strong resemblance with Chomsky's CFG's that they probably may be mapped against each other; there are possibilities for mapping the the mathematical beauty of poetry against the mathematical beauty of the forest.
