    The success (relative fitness) of any given culture rests on its ability to
    both manifest written language AND reduce individual variations in
    interpretation by "inventing" things like dictionaries, encyclopedias and
    compulsory public education. Am I correctly responding to the gist of your
    point?

    <A sentence is a Complete Thought>
     
    I agree on the <Written> aspect of the problem.Indeed only written down you
    have then a ' complete thought',but nothing more than that!!
    "Betty went",is without any feedback,it is a hard cold statement without any
    brainactivity which explains,do the explaining whatever must be explained.
     
    I said it before and I say it again,in the real meaning of the words " complete
    thought" you have to count in all the possible angles of the problem,all the
    possible associations with that thought make up its ' completeness'.
     
    Of course,partly it is an unconscient process,aspect/associations are just
    being touched on,ready to pop up when needed.
