Um but it's not direct.
It's not that there's a very specific uh linguistic representation of this sensory perceptual uh uh kind of phenomenon.
Phenomenon.
And this is important because forever, philosophers, philosophers of life, philosophers in general, linguists have been trying to understand how do words get their meaning.
How do they what they're something I referred to either easier earlier?

What's the definition of a dog?
Never done.
And the answer is there isn't a single one.
There isn't a single definition that's ever going to capture.
Instead, what you've got is this latent uh sort of bridge where there's some sort of representation of this fact that given uh you know, whatever your your particular prompt is, uh your linguistic prompt, is gonna lead to certain kind of meaningful linguistic behavior.
If you ask me a question about this microphone, I might be able to answer that question meaningfully based on the perceptual information.
But what
This microphone means it's actually completely contingent on, or at least linguistically, it's contingent on whatever question you ask me about it.
And so it's all gonna depend on what you're doing with that latent space.
It's gonna depend on the other.
There isn't sort of and and this is sort of a broader point, it there isn't sort of a static set of of facts about the world uh that's embedded in language.
Uh I don't think there's this would be a static set of facts in uh embedded in or sort of
Visual embedding of the world?
Instead what we've got is what uh what I call potentialities.
