The language of the Anethos

Some forms of communication among primitive animals, such as shrews or humans, are interesting. They vibrate a part of their anatomy, their vocal cords, to generate a vibration in the surrounding air that travels within a short distance, a few meters at most. Thus, to communicate, these primitive animals must be close to one another and can generally only address one individual at a time. This results in endless discussions in the form of a constant ping-pong of sounds piling up on top of each other in a disordered fashion. This process is very time-consuming and very rarely leads to a conclusive and usable result.

 

Nature has endowed the Anethos with very different linguistic abilities. The non-local and timeless functioning of our brain (see The Cognitive Capacities of the Anethos ) allows us to communicate in ways far more elaborate and efficient than the archaic babbling of sound vibrations. We do not use sounds that form words, sentences, texts, or ultimately, ideas. Our communications take place directly in our brains, and consequently, we exchange ideas directly, which our interlocutors receive as is. No interpretation is possible. Moreover, we can communicate simultaneously with hundreds of Anethos. That is to say, an idea in my head can reach hundreds of individuals instantly. These individuals can, in turn, share their ideas at the same speed. Conversations between hundreds of Anethos take place in silence and often end only seconds after they begin. Efficiency is paramount.
