SUO: Re: Membrance Of Things Parsed

Robert,
Here is another piece of the puzzle that comes to mind.
As I know that you know, the use of the word "module"
in mathematics is subject to the following analogy:
Module : Vectorspace :: Ring : Field.
I dare not speculate on how or when or where or whether or why,
if it did, the word may have found itself washed up, epically,
on the sundry shores of AI, computer science, linguistics, or
psychology, taken up, as often occurs, in cargo cult fashion,
or maybe it was more straightforwardly transported from the
realms of carpentry and kiffen cabinetry. In any case, it
will be my suggestion here that, consciously or other-wise,
and as I have recently remarked to Pat Hayes, a true believer
in the "continuity of semiosis" (COS) would literally be forced
by the elliptic dynamics of semiosis to retort the distilled gist:
You can take the Word out of the country of conception, ...
At any rate, one of the characteristic features of these sorts of
modules and vector spaces is the circumstance that they afford us
the most commodious vicinities and the most convenient home-sites
for the applications of distributive laws, the moduli operandi of
homeromorphisms, the preveiling winds of superposition principles.
And Thus We Return, Howbeit Epic Cyclicly,
To The Tropic Of Linear Topics, After All.
Time And Again,
Jon Awbrey
