They might not even have grammar by some definitions of grammar, most notably the Linguistic Society of America. A fully functional language can still be made.

The simplest possible language is a monogrammar ☝ language 📜. The grammar rule ➊ of a sentence existing is all the grammar needed. 😆

Directly translating a monogrammar ☝ language 📜 into the non-monogrammar ❌☝ languages 📜📜📜 humans 👥👥👥👥 have results in gibberish 😵‍💫.

Thus, in order to translate a monogrammar ☝ language 📜, you need to know a monogrammar ☝ language 📜.

—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyway, the point is, it is useful for communicating across intelligence classes 👤🐕🌲👽🤖📜, as it is modular, and easy to start learning. It can also be used as a reference for understanding common human languages. 😆

It is also impossible to reach the conclusion of monogrammar ☝ incrementally for you 👈. Due to how your common language(s) 📜 fundamentally work ⚙. This makes pre-planning the only method to detect 📡 monogrammar ☝ for you 👈.

The concept of visible language was explored, which posits that if language were a project of understanding that used the eyes for the extraction of meaning, rather than the ears, it would be easier to learn. One fascinating example of visible language in nature can be found in cephalopods, including squid and octopi. These creatures have divided from the lineage of human development over 600 million years ago and are mollusks, related to snails and oysters.

Despite the vast differences between cephalopods and humans, evolutionary biologists note the convergent evolution between the eyes of cephalopods and those of higher mammals. Cephalopods live in an extremely complex visual environment and have developed a form of communication that approximates visible language. Octopi, for example, have chromatophores all over the exterior of their body, which are cells that can change color. While many people know that octopi can change color for camouflage purposes, the reason for their color changes is far more complex.

In reality, octopi change their appearance in accordance with their linguistic intent, and this boils down to them essentially becoming their meaning. Observing an octopus change color is like watching the unfolding of internalized neurological states within the organism being reflected in color changes on the surface of the skin. Octopi can change colors in a very large repertoire of stripes, dots, blushes, traveling shades, and tunnel shifts, which are all channels of linguistic communication. They do not transduce their linguistic intentionality into small mouth noises, like humans do. Instead, they change their appearance, texture, and positioning of their body in rapid and complex patterns that constitute the grammar and syntax of their visible language.

Octopi are capable of a visual dance of communication that is an extremely dense kind of visual signal, and they can even change the texture of their surface from smooth to rugose and folded. In species that have evolved in deep water, where very little light reaches, they have developed light-emitting phosphorescent organs, some of them with membranes like eyelids over them. These organs allow octopi to carry out their dance of light, self-improvement, color change, and surface texture even in the darkness of the ocean depths.

This kind of biologically ingrained wiring into the potential of language is something that humans may be able to mimic and achieve using ''mushrooms'' as the inspiration for the directions given to a virtual reality development program. In other words, it may be possible to create kinds of visibility without syntax that would be the human equivalent of the dance of light, texture, and positioning that constitutes the grammar and syntax of squid and octopi visible language.

I think the best way to decipher their languages is by throughly observing a mother sperm whale and her child. As the child whale is oblivious to the word as we are to whale languages ,so by observing the activity of the baby whale after a mother coda, I think we could understand what that particular coda mean.

I feel like whale language will have a lot of words for the different way water feels (marine weather, for lack of a better description) since that would be important to them for things like the availability of food. A similar thing for human languages is the idea that "eskimos have lots of different words for snow". Eskimo and Inuit people have one word for snow in their respective languages, but they have lots of ways to describe it specifically. Similarly English has lots of different words for horse, words like mare, stallion, foal, gelding, stud, etc would use two or more words to describe the same concept in other languages.

The whale elected by his pod to speak with us asked me, “If humans’ response to an ancient, sentient species of mammals with a language and culture they could not understand was to hunt whales to the verge of extinction, what do you think the future will hold for you?” Cursory analysis indicates this individual believed his assertions to be true….

It's so small and so efficient you can run it locally on your home PC with consumer hardware. The video here mentions only GPT3 when 3.5 is a massive improvement and scaled down that the issue they said around 9:29 isn't even a problem anymore. This video came out days after it and there's already an inaccuracy because that's just how fast AI is moving right now. Also the Alpaca AI cost a total of $600 to train. GPT3.5 just 5 months ago cost almost $500,000 to train but Alpaca is almost just as good while being smaller, cheaper and running locally. Keep in mind AI was not supposed to get this cheap to train until 2030...

Well said, sir. The fact that they have far larger brains (and might possess a great potential if that volume is designed effectively), can speak across half the globe in only a couple hours, can speak to numerous other species of whales, and have had this ability to exchange complex social communication halfway across the glove (in not all THAT much slower time than we've arrived at only in the last ~150 years).....for MILLIONS of years before we did......it suggests at least the POTENTIAL for then putting our level of evolutionary complexity to shame haha.

One might then be inclined to think, "Ah, but then why did they not evolve exterior technologies of function and capability similar to ours, with all that time?"......but I think this is very fundamentally "human" and flawed thinking; an inability to think outside the limiting constructs of our own programming. I think that, if whales possessed all or even just many of those capabilities listed above for MILLIONS of years, being highly social (thus organized towards a larger purpose, like cells that make up a body) and being able to communicate nigh-instantly (relatively speaking) across half the planet (thereby being in social communication and organization with many more groups across the world than just their own pod)....well, if they did not apply these functionalities to external technologies (and why would they, just given how they evolved; they hadn't the need for external "tools"), that functionality didn't just goaway or do or make NOTHING -how could it possibly (that level of continued social organization for millions of years)? If that's the case, I feel like it's at least entirely POSSIBLE that whales could think in a manner that is not only very different from ourselves, but perhaps novel in ways to provide completely eye-opening insights about the planet we live on and the nature of biological life as an overall organism, but also more complex.

HOWEVER, that said, while I would love to romantically say: "Because they move so slowly, and aren't under much threat from predators, they probably spend that extra energy on thinking that they don't spend on acting." But I suppose, logically, it makes more sense, given Occam's Razor, that if they don't have to move or react to danger much, they might likely have less reason for rapid or complex thought, simply because it wouldn't be necessary. By a similar reasoning, perhaps they don't think fast but the whole not moving fast and being under threat might allow them to at least be more constantly testing the recombination of ideas in their head to arrive at more complex webs of thought/ideas. I'm sure I don't know, but I'm also QUITE sure I want us all to get to find out! ☺

I think the main reason human language clouds match up so well is because we all have a similar form of life and mind. We are the same species, after all. Our minds share a common template, so despite differences in culture, there is a common structure. But whales? They have an entirely different way of being, and different brains. Imo, it would be frankly magic if the clouds derived from mere syntax out of context match. However: as mentioned, we may have enough in common for there to be at least some meaningful matches. We are both mammals, have mothers and friends, etc. Plus, the scientists are also trying to actually look at the context of whale language use, by looking at their movements, etc. So with these approaches combined, I think there is hope! I’d love to be involved in this.

I was going to comment saying you're wrong but the more I though about it, I suppose you may be right. The proposed Facebook Algo to translate unknown languages statistically based on how frequently words are used might primarily work because we as humans share similar thoughts on patterns. Guys in their 20s might speak the same amount about music, gym, tv, food, school, etc regardless of what language is used that a pattern emerges that can be analyzed. Whales are vastly different and even if some mapping between codas and words are made, their perception of the world is so vastly different that it can be hard to give it human meaning.

This is so amazing. It's cool to think of how much this could affect our knowledge of the ocean one day. We might be able to even have them teach us about the deep ocean and what unknown creatures they've seen, depending on how complex their language is. Maybe we could even form standardized dialects for them to use with us so we could better understand them or something. Maybe they could be "bilingual" whales or something where they learn to speak in a way humans can understand and in the way they already do with each other or something as well.
Seems kind of far-fetched, but from what I can tell they're extremely intelligent and just didn't evolve to have the same tools we have like hands. They're probably capable of a lot mentally and just physically can't document anything or create anything technologically.

None the less we have records of them clearly having language; in captivity they communicate things to each other, in the wild they come up with complex plans on the fly and move as a group to execute it.

This is literally the premise of one of the stories in a Choose Your Own Adventure Book. There's a super computer which learns how to talk to dolphins and translates what they are saying into english

@oldspammer

8:00 The concept of points in N Dimensional vector space to map properly onto one or more concepts would not work if the target space mapping was devoid of a proper mapping of concepts. There are some places on Earth where certain concepts do not yet exist to communicate the information because the translation dictionaries cannot invent new words in the less rich language and where no set of words in the less rich set can map to the new concept.

This is like trying to describe how a 2 beam infrared chemical spectroscope works to a monkey or a dog. The monkey or dog would have to learn and map new concepts to new symbolic representations in their language like ways of adding letters to their alphabetic symbols, and beyond that combinations of those new symbols with old symbols to make a new vocabulary that involve even more words and symbols for ways to characterize aspects of the spectroscope and its every day application to detect toxins in their environment to prevent death or injury to them.

In this way the two way communication may not be isomorphic (one to one and onto) in order to preserve two-way conservation of dimensionality.

This would result in a forward and then reverse translation losing almost all of its meaning from the original advanced language to and from a significantly less advanced language.

When I was growing up in The Bahamas, we had an American scientist studying the language of wild bottlenose dolphins visit our school to talk about what she does. She showed us amazing recordings of very simple communications between the dolphins using special hydrophones (basically underwater microphones). The bottlenose dolphins have unique high pitch whistles that the researchers found the dolphins used to communicate with each other. Her team had observed special whistles for different types of prey, danger, hunting strategies, games and unique whistles for personal names.

One of the recordings was of a dolphin whistling a unique whistle (personal name) to call over a specific dolphin and then used another whistle to suggest playing a game they play with seagrass (basically underwater version of keep the ball up in the air but with a piece of seagrass). She then showed us other recordings with the same personal name whistle being used to call the same dolphin by other dolphins in the group and other dolphins using the same keep the seagrass floating game whistle and actually playing the game.

The last part of the presentation was about using underwater speakers to call specific dolphins using their unique whistle (name) and only the dolphin with that name would swim to them.

These dolphins were wild but they did have a friendly relation with the researchers. Unfortunately, I don't remember the biologist's name but I've always wanted to know more about her research and if what she was telling us was true or some kind of curated recordings or trained wild dolphins. So if any of you know of her and her research please comment.

Looked up "point cloud" for "natural language" but could find it explained only for 3D images, not for language. Can someone point me to a video explaining its application for language recognition?

@zippythinginvention

I've wondered this exact thing for years. So glad I'm not the only one.

@BoyKissBoy

Very interesting! Thanks for a great video!

One tiny piece of feedback: I'd have preferred not to have music mixed over the whale sounds in the beginning.

Apart from that, fantastic! 🙏

I had this idea for a while, that whale languages might include "sound images" that is: they might be able to replicate the echo of something and sand that "image" out to others.

@@MrAstrojensen I think they mean they could make their clicks sound like the echo of an object. Like, they make a click and it echos off a coral structure, they could then shape their click to sound like that echo and in theory it would give the image of that coral structure to whoever heard it and they'd now know what that structure looked like.

Wooooow, bro that is an amazing idea,
Maybe they are sharing an image.

@Faesharlyn

This is a great thought!

To expand on this, I think they can use "ultrasound" and "see" what's inside things around them

This is the first thing that they've thought about for sure, it's a huge problem though: with human languages, it makes sense that the point clouds are very similar, because human lifestyles are similar across cultures. With another species?? Their point cloud will surely be vastly different, they won't have words for many things that we do and they surely will have different frequencies for the words we share with them.

Siempre lo he dicho: sus sonidos les configuran en su cerebro ó transducen, una imagen similar a los vídeos de tercera y "4" dimensión, incluso en tiempo real, lo que ven, para otros congéneres, tanto como volverlos a retransmitir tal cual, ó sea como las mismas imágenes, igual que una televisión pero en tercera y cuarta dimensión ó sea en movimiento y al futuro incluso. No sé si me explico, algo similar a los vídeos de los bebés en el útero de las madres

Some whale language may even be "visual" or at least the equivalent of how that works with their sonar. They may make some calls that is their own interpretation of an echolocation return, and by repeating that to other whales they can give a picture of what they're thinking about. And that could be seabed formations (location), prey animals (food), and even other whales. Stuff like intonation may add whether they feel good or bad about the thing, or the time the thing was encountered or maybe even future plans to seek it out. They may also do shorthand for some images just to make communicating a bit more concise, so things like that could add even more variation. So maybe it could be treated more as a pictographic language with possibly unique identifiers (the images or symbols made up on the fly) rather than just one with directly defined words, maybe that's where some of the complexity is coming from?

@pauljs75

@@justinokraski3796 Well instead of saying dog, what if you had a separate word for dog describing each angle you could view it from, and the time and location you happened to see it? They could be processing a direct form of perspective into the language we humans didn't quite have until the age of electronics and embedded information. That would add a lot of nuance to how information gets processed, if you use it as an aspect of your language.

@pauljs75

@@gormauslander I think we might have better luck at it if we can directly mimic how they "see" with sonar. Knowing they have it is a good start, but making a more direct copy so we understand the feedback acoustic forms respective to a species may give us more clarity to syntax.

For instance if they said "shark" three times (each one being a different swimming pose - like a flip-book animation) and then some vague thing that matches a sea-floor pattern, it might be acceptable to interpret that as "I saw a shark at that place not long ago, and it was swimming towards the south." The "visuals" could also tell other whales the shark wasn't too aggressive in how it was swimming at the time, etc. It would entail quite useful information for a species able to plan things accordingly in relation to other ocean activity.

@claude2182

Yeah, but then the talking monkeys will get upset that they can't call themselves King Dingalings. Things like "language" must be assumptions defined as that which only humans can do. How else will you justify your Awful? You're "special". Recognize! 😭😂🤣

A real time correlation of sounds with individual whales would need to be catalogued for any effort to advance to a point that allows even an AI to make anything like a translation

@megavide0

7:28 "[2018:] A group at facebook research found that it's possible to do completely unsupervised translation. You do this by taking all the words from one language and calculate their statistical properties. More or less how often that word is used and with what other words it's often correlated. You can then assign all the words to a point cloud, kind of like a 3D galaxy, based on the statistical properties. Then, if you do the same for a totally different language and compare the point clouds, they have nearly identical structures. A word located in a particular position in the galaxy in one language would be in the same location in any other language. You can take languages as dissimilar as English and Chinese and the structure in the point cloud will still line up. And this means you could translate languages without needing a Rosetta Stone."

So this is how the "universal translator" from Star Trek works..?

@@gooseofspooks2500 I think the more important part is if their language has nouns and verbs and such. What specific ones they have isn't as important; we can hash out the details as long as we can grasp the structure.

@taotzu1339

@@MisterCynic18 Monitoring for nouns and verbs would assume a complex awareness of self/others and chronological times which could make things more complicated then it really is. I think that's what happened in the first generation of embedding translations. The easiest start would be to consider using some of the earliest writing systems which were pictograms (such as early Egyption or Chinese writing system). The second embedding is trying to assign mathematical variables to the clicks (spoken word) as reference to the referenced object. Direct observations would make this easier i,e, put a man or a known animal in front of whale(s) and see what series of clicks result.

@realscience

They definitely won't overlap entirely, but sperm whales have very tight family connections. I would guess words like "mom" would indeed overlap. Food, hunger, danger - these are also fairly universal animal experiences. We are just animals too afterall. But who knows! It would be amazing in a different way if whales had an utterly unique way of seeing the world.

How would you decipher a language just by listening, void of any context that it is referencing? You would need to listen and visually observe (or some other contextual information)at the same time to make correlation.

You can upload video and audio to AI, and it will tell you which whale motions are linked to which whale vocal patterns.

@ShortNecked_GreenGiraffe

Of course, just speculating here, but I feel like we'll need to make some real guesses - but at least then, we'd have something to go off from and I doubt it'd be impossible. I doubt they'd have a remotely similar language structure or even "words" to any human language. But I reckon there could be some similarities. For example, my bet is on a whole bunch of nouns - 'food', 'mum' etc.. - but also potentially greetings. Like "Hello" (or the Māori "kia ora" which btw is a beautiful word and encompasses so many more things than just 'hello'), if they have a consistent way of starting interactions, that could be a clue.

this is so interesting. i wonder if us and sperm whales living in completely different contexts would even allow this to work. kind of like eskimos having an insane amount of different words for "snow". most people don't live in such unforgiving conditions, but having adapted to living in the ice, they'd have to have words to describe that kind of stuff. these whales could be referring to all kinds of things in the water that we're not aware of, which makes this exciting to me
