Aboriginal Languages, Quantum Physics and the Grammar of Belonging
Research Focus
We explore the profound structural alignment between David Bohm’s quantum-inspired rheomode and the Western Desert languages of Central Australia. While Bohm sought a new, verb-based grammar to overcome the fragmentation of English, these Indigenous languages already utilize a process-oriented syntax that centers on movement and relation. This linguistic framework is deeply rooted in Tjukurpa, a cosmological law that describes an unbroken whole where all beings and land co-emerge. By integrating the ethical practice of Kanyini with Bohm’s theories on dialogue, we illustrate a shared ontology of belonging. Ultimately, we propose a new interdisciplinary field—Process Grammar and the Unified Field of Belonging—to study how language and consciousness co-create a relational world.
