Population Dynamics and Calvin

It not quite enough to suggest models that describe parts of the linguistic process, it is also important to show how these models fit within the larger body of knowledge that we have about physical systems. In the next Section we will scale the problem to include a description of the emergence of language in terms of synaptic functions and prosodic flow. While considering the dynamics of language evolution from a physics point of view we will build a finer grained argument that will include neural functions amongst many brains. The integration of the physics of language theory and the theory that describes a kind of neural competition that exists amongst brains, offers a functional description on how linguistic activities may have emerged.
