Language has been a very great tool for the advancement of humans, because of languages we have developed so much that we described natural processes. but now that pusher itself has become a stopper, Language is very very subjective and especially romanticism makes it worse also the root of all religions is romanticism and because of that it brews very witch crafty type ideas like souls or magic but reductionalism and pure math we can see that there can nothing be like souls it's all wave fluctuations and maybe quadrillions of interactions letting to thoughts. And they all are deterministic and calculatable but i guess we can never ever map all the quantum interactions but with given conditions like infinite time, infinite energy we might be able to map everything but that's metaphysical if we truly stay rational then we can see that language is limiting us so much. For example there is a very misunderstood topic "is light a wave or particle?" it's both but when we imagine wave we imagine ripples in water or when we imagine particles we imagine marbles like thing but it is not that by wave we mean it follows wave equations and by particle we mean it follows matrices but language is very very incapable of structuring that. This is why it leads to massive confusions also there's another great example, Descartes whom i indeed respect but the idea of imaginary numbers felt so alien to him that he called imaginary numbers "imaginary" as a like slur because he could not understand it and this another example of how language is slowing down our capabilities like imaginary numbers are indeed real but because of language if i tell anyone imaginary numbers they will think that it is a fictional thing.
the solution for this i think is mathematical formalism
Though i believe it has been practice since the times of isaac newton. Science has started to move towards more abstract and objective topics like using calculus for explaining motions or using imaginary numbers and Schrodinger's famous equation to portray the reality things our language limited room can not explain ever and Reimann's sphere or special relativity of einstien are an also a prime example of science prioritizing objective math instead of langauge but i believe that there should be an entire language built on math not in the sense of traditional languages but for explaining this world, Tho current math is serving that purpose but we have to push it's limits.
