A note regarding General Grammar: With language, the mind divides reality into wholes and parts, starting with the metaphysical division between Substance and Attributes. The Attributes are then categorized by similarity to embrace multiple Substances so that a single word contains more data. These divisions (I.e. genus/species) expand from the concrete to abstract, from the specific to the general, from the particular to the universal reaching transcendent concepts that cannot be categorized, but understood as a part of a greater context (I.e. unity, unity of what?). (Now, the division before the metaphysical one would be between Substance or non-substance, or simply non-existence, which has no Attributes. While the Eastern philosophies emphasize this as important (I.e. non-self/non-ego, non-identity) it stunts the function of the mind in attempting to eliminate general grammar altogether.)
