Part 4/14:
Ohad highlights the immense challenge of language: natural human language is powerful but inherently ambiguous and complex, making precise communication difficult. To make large-scale cooperation feasible, Tau adopts controlled, formal languages grounded in logic, which allow computers and humans to communicate unambiguously.
Logical Foundations and the Limits of Language
Language, especially natural language, is both a boon and a barrier. While it’s rich and expressive, it’s also ambiguous and context-dependent. To address this, Tau employs logical translation approaches, transforming natural language into formal logic that can be processed objectively.
