Chapter 4590: Logos I
Chapter 4590: Logos I
It was surreal to watch a THE level entity be beaten black and blue with such casual brutality, and yet here Noah was reflecting on it as he observed THE Maelstrom Thundermane lying in a cage and being utterly unable to leave.
How terrifyingly existence could play out for those who found themselves on the wrong side of power dynamics!
He shook his head at the ironic reversal of fortune as his focus was actually more concentrated on the coming together of Phonemes that formed complete words to create the inescapable bindings that even THE level entities could not break free from.
The linguistic construction was fascinating to observe now that he understood what he was looking at.
He found himself suddenly wondering something that made his eyes narrow with analytical focus. Had he seen the same thing in THE Northern Unfurling Node of Existence when he had been imprisoned there, but he simply did not understand what he was observing at the time?
Had those cages been reinforced with Logos of The First Tongue that he had been completely blind to?
He could not say for certain without returning to examine that location with his current understanding.
But his intense gaze toward the cages and their linguistic bindings seemed to have been caught by Ul’moreth, whose hairy form turned slightly toward him.
The ancient being smiled wryly while speaking with knowing tone.
|You just learned the eighteen letters, and you already want to jump directly into understanding complete words. Well, before you start trying to decipher things yourself and potentially go catastrophically wrong, I will tell you a little bit about them. Come.|
Ul’moreth began walking deeper into the settlement with Noah following close beside him, his presence radiating focus once more.
They moved through the ancient community as Ul’moreth spoke, his voice carrying across the space with measured instruction.
|After Phonemes, which are the individual letters comprising the alphabet of Existence, The First Tongue progresses to the second tier of expression. These are called Logos. Complete words formed by combining Phonemes in specific, intentional patterns with precise grammatical structure.|
They passed a group of Ginnu Lifeforms engaged in what appeared to be cultivation practice, their malformed bodies pulsing with various types of authority. Every single one of them turned immediately to Ul’moreth and gave respectful bows of acknowledgment to THE Primeval Titan as he walked by.
Ul’moreth acknowledged them with subtle nods while continuing his explanation without pause.
|Each Logos represents a fundamental concept or law that governs some aspect of Existence. Where a Phoneme is a single letter expressing a basic principle like Fire or Water or Time, a Logos is a complete word that expresses something more sophisticated and nuanced. Fire as a Phoneme is the concept of combustion and transformation. But you could form a Logos that means specifically Purifying Fire, or Consuming Fire, or Creative Fire, each one being a different word constructed from multiple Phonemes arranged with grammatical precision.|
They continued walking, passing structures formed from crystallized Existence that pulsed with incomprehensible authority.
More Ginnu Lifeforms turned to pay respect to Ul’moreth as they traveled.
|Now, here is something absolutely critical for you to understand, Little Anomaly. When you master certain unique Logos that have a preset identity completely, understanding not just how to speak it but why it is structured as it is, what fundamental truth it expresses, what emerges from that mastery is what entities across The Infinite Unfurling call...Grand Principles and Singularity Principles of Existence.|
Noah’s eyes widened slightly with sudden understanding as the implication crashed through his awareness.
Principles of Existence!
Ul’moreth’s presence seemed to intensify with the weight of revelation he was sharing.
|Principles of Existence, Little Anomaly, are actually unique Logos. They are official Logos of Existence itself. High tier words of The First Tongue that have been woven into the fundamental fabric of reality so deeply that they operate as natural laws. Many entities access Principles know they are the equations that govern Existence, the mathematical formulae that determine how reality operates. What they do not know is that those equations are actually words. Complete linguistic expressions in Existence’s native language.|
They passed another gathering where a Ginnu Lifeform was demonstrating something to a small group of students. All of them paused their lesson to bow respectfully toward Ul’moreth before returning to their studies.
|When you gain acess to and comprehend a Grand Principle, you are essentially stumbling onto an Equation of Existence- a Logos of The First Tongue with sufficient accuracy that you can reproduce its effect. When you advance to understanding a Singularity Principle, you stumbled into an even more complex and sophisticated Logos that you begin to use the power of...without realizing this power stems from The First Tongue. And Genesis Principles? Those are Logos so extraordinarily complex and fundamental that they delve into the third tier of expression of The First Tongue...Philology!|
BOOM!
Philology.
Phonemes, Logos, Philology!
The words burned in Noah’s mind as Ul’moreth continued!
|Philology is too distant for you right now but, complex Logos and Philology represent the very first words and sentences spoken when Existence began organizing itself from primordial chaos.|
Ul’moreth gestured with one hairy hand to encompass the settlement around them.
|For example, the Principle of Gravitational Attraction that exists throughout Existence. This is actually a Logos, a complete word in The First Tongue that can be broken down into component Phonemes. It contains the Phoneme of Unity, because gravity brings things together. It contains the Phoneme of Space, because it operates through distance. It contains aspects of the Phoneme of Order, because it follows consistent mathematical relationships.|
|These Phonemes are arranged in a specific grammatical structure to create the complete word that means gravitational attraction pulls objects with mass toward each other proportional to their mass and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.|
...!
Noah’s eyes were bright.
Unfathomably so!
Each word from Ul’moreth felt grander and grander than the last as if he was being freely given the secrets of Existence, and he was learning just how obscenely he could now violate existence if he had the right tools!
So...continue your long speeches, Ul’moreth!
Talk as much as you want!
|When you comprehend the Principle of Gravitational Attraction through conventional cultivation, you are learning to reproduce that Logos even though you do not realize you gained acess to an equation, to a word. You think you are manipulating some fundamental law of nature. But what you are actually doing is gaining access to The First Tongue unconsciously, without understanding any of it.|
They turned down another pathway through the settlement, heading in a specific direction. More Ginnu Lifeforms acknowledged Ul’moreth’s passage with respectful gestures.
|This is why entities who master many Principles are considered so powerful, Little Anomaly. They have learned to gain acess to multiple words of The First Tongue without realizing that is what they are doing.|
|Someone who actually understands The First Tongue as a language can accomplish the same thing with deliberate intention and grammatical knowledge. You can construct new Logos by combining Phonemes according to linguistic rules rather than hoping random experimentation produces useful results. You can modify existing Logos by changing their component letters to create variations. You can analyze Principles that others have discovered and understand their underlying structure immediately rather than spending years studying their effects.|
His voice carried profound significance as if he was speaking the very turth of existence itself.
|This is the true advantage of knowing The First Tongue, Little Anomaly. Not just that you can speak letters and words with power. But that you understand what Principles actually are at their core, and you can work with them as linguistic constructs rather than as mysterious forces that must be painstakingly decoded.|
