\Clong is the language of telephone exchanges
|
|
|
|
\section{Phone-ology}
|
|
|
|
Telephone exchanges cannot speak like humans do. Instead, \Clong uses DTMF
|
|
Keypad Tones to convey information.
|
|
|
|
Here is a table of DTMF tones for reference.

\section{Units of meaning -- Packets}
|
|
|
|
Semantic information is encoded into packets. A packet can be of 5 types: {\bf
|
|
Semantic}, {\bf Proper Noun}, {\bf Syntactic}, {\bf Continuation} and {\bf
|
|
Variable}. A packet is a sequences of coniguous tones surrounded by blanks.
|
|
additionally individual packets have a maximal length of 20 tones. If a
|
|
packet's information would exceed that length limit, the extra data shall be
|
|
included in one or more continuation packets.
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Semantic Packet}
|
|
|
|
A semantic packet is a packet encoding a concept. It uses the Universal Decimal
|
|
Clasification to encode the topics. Numeric values are encoded with their
|
|
appropriate digit, dots are encoded with \z*, slashes are encoded with \z A.
|
|
dashes are encoded with \z{BA}, equals with \z{BB}, column with \z C and quotes
|
|
with \z D and parens with \z\#. This has the side effect that semantic packets
|
|
cannot start with \z*.
|
|
|
|
A reference to a variable (see \ref{variables}) starts with \z{B*} and ends with
|
|
\z{B\#}. The variable prefix is omitted in that use.
|
|
|
|
\newpage
|
|
\subsection{Proper Nouns}
|
|
|
|
A proper noun packet is encoded as follows:
|
|
\begin{enumerate}
|
|
\item Two Stars (\z{**})
|
|
\item The length of the encoding of the proper noun in tones, expressed as an
|
|
hexadecimal digit where \z* stands for 14, \z\# stands for 15 and \z0
|
|
stands for 16.
|
|
\item the proper noun encoded according to EBCDIC page 00803 in hexadecimal
|
|
where \z* stands for 0xE and \z\# stands for 0xF.
|
|
\end{enumerate}
|
|
If the noun exceeds 16 tones (8 bytes) when encoded, one shall use continuation
|
|
packets.
|
|
|
|
If the noun cannot be fully encoded into EBCDIC 00803 it shall be expressed
|
|
as a sequences of hexadecimal unicode codepoints of the form U+xxxxxxxx in
|
|
normalised decomposed form then subsequently encoded to EBCDIC page 00803
|
|
|
|
A proper noun must be followed by a semantic packet qualifying the nature of
|
|
the entity described by the proper noun.
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Syntactic Packet}
|
|
|
|
Syntactic Packets start with a \z* followed by one or more digit or letters. If
|
|
they take parameters those are expressed after the Syntactic packet in the order
|
|
specified. They are of two kinds:
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection {Morphological packets} There exists 5 such packets. They encode
|
|
the gramatical role of parameters in the sentence.
|
|
|
|
\begin{description}
|
|
\item[Assertive \z{*1}] takes one argument and produces the clause that
|
|
asserts that the postulate is true, or that the object exists
|
|
\item[Intransitive \z{*2A}] takes two arguments and produces the clause with
|
|
the first argument as Agent and the second argument as Verb
|
|
\item[Intransitive Passive \z{*2B}] takes two arguments and produces the
|
|
clause with the first argument as Patient and the second argument as Verb
|
|
\item[Transitive \z{*3}] takes three arguments and produces the clause with the
|
|
first argument as Subject, the sencond argument as Object, and the third
|
|
argument as Verb. For an equivalent of a passive construction, simply reverse
|
|
the arguments
|
|
\item[Ditransitive \z{*4}] takes four arguments and produces the clause with
|
|
the first argument as Subject, the second as Object, the third as Beneficiary
|
|
and the fourth as Verb.
|
|
\item[Collectionaliser \z{*C}] takes two constructs and forms the collection of
|
|
those constructs. For larger collections, one instance of the
|
|
collectionaliser is required per element. While the order is not
|
|
gramatically mandated, it is common to emit all the collectionalisers of a
|
|
group at the start, then list the elements.
|
|
\end{description}
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{Referential Packets}
|
|
\begin{description}
|
|
\item[Proper Noun Qualifier \z{*D}] Proper nouns cannot be used on their
|
|
own, instead they must be qualified by:LL: the type of {\it thing} refered
|
|
to by the proper noun. For that one uses this qualifer. Takes a proper
|
|
noun and a common noun and produces the a reference to the {\it thing}
|
|
described by the common noun refered to by the proper noun.
|
|
\item[Variable Definition Packet \z{*0}] takes a variable name and a
|
|
syntactic construct and assigns the syntactic construct as value of the
|
|
variable. the Variable may, after this point be used in stead of the
|
|
construct, this is effectively a pronoun, but not limited to just nouns
|
|
and noun phrases.
|
|
\item[Participant Reference \z{*A1} and \z{*A2}] refer to the
|
|
participants of the conversation. The respectly refer to the speaker,
|
|
the listner and both the speaker and the listner
|
|
\item
|
|
\end{description}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Continuation Packet}
|
|
|
|
A continuation packet is used whenever a packet goes over it's maximum size
|
|
(3+16 tones for proper noun packets, 20 tones for semantic packets) to contain
|
|
the rest of the information to be contained.
|
|
|
|
A continuation packet is formed as follws
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item A Star and an Octothorpe (\z{*\#})
|
|
\item The number of tones in the body of the semantic packet as a single
|
|
hexadecimal digit with \z* standing for 14, \z\# standing for 15 and \z0
|
|
standing for 16.
|
|
\item The tones of the body
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
If the entire contents cannot be fit in the body of the packey, more
|
|
continuation packets shall be used.
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Variable packet}\label{variables}
|
|
|
|
A variable packet represents a variable to be refered too as later, they act a
|
|
bit like pronouns but can refer to any construct of the language. They are
|
|
formed by two Octothorpes followed by the identifier of the variables composed
|
|
of up to 18 digits.
|
|
|
|
\section{Actually communicating -- Flow control and error correction}
|
|
|
|
The packets previously documented are only the encapsulated semantic meaning of
|
|
language. An actual conversation would use the following flow control language:
|
|
|
|
A discussion is initiated by a
|
|
|
|
\section{Sample Texts}
|
|
|
|
These text samples do not contain the control flow communications. The
|
|
corresponding audio samples are as if said by a speaker at adress 42069
|
|
(decimal) broadcasting to the network.

Hark! It was ruled by Agamashuya and His son Gu Sabah: Tian practices against
|
|
the lesser side of the invisible origin of light, beset by cosmetic prohibitions
|
|
of silence and restraint; for Ngu, a slave to creativity, shall make inspection
|
|
and certification prior to confirmation of Najva Guns’ official status. Deny
|
|
thine humanity: There are no politics in real life.
