Hi, friends,
in my opinion, this asymmetry can be explained if we consider natural language as a tool for modeling the internal space of knowledge in which the individual’s consciousness operates, while knowledge is a tool for modeling what the individual considers the surrounding reality. If we talk about knowledge as the structure of concepts, then this structure is usually presented in the form of a hierarchy, so moving down from the general to the specific is natural and less energy/information intensive.
But what if knowledge has a fractal structure?... What do you think of that?
Surely, sorry, I've meant that moving from specific to general, which is corresponds to moving from state, characterized by less entropy to state, with higher entropy.
