Humans are neurologically gifted to attach complex meanings to sounds. Specialized mouth-sounds called phonemes enter our ears and are immediately directed into Wernicke's area where they slip down the arcuate fasciculus (a neural pipeline) to Broca's area in our brains. It's in Wernicke's and Broca's areas that strings of phonemes are recognized as syllables - nouns and verbs: Language.
Can you imagine life without it?
A secondary function of Broca's area is to coordinate the lips and tongue to create a whole range of phonemes: vowels, diphthongs, closures, plosives, nasals, flaps, fricatives, affricates, liquids, dentals, glides, velars, palatals and labials. Were you aware that you make all these sounds in rapid succession every time you speak? Even more amazing is that other people interpreting these sounds will see exactly what you want them to see in their minds.
Yes, the spoken language is an amazing thing.
But did you know that Color and Math are languages, too? Music, Shape and Texture are likewise languages, since they carry associative meanings that communicate just as surely as sound. An individual who is fluent in a language beyond words is called an artist. Unless, of course, their language is the language of numbers. These artists are called "accountants."
The numerals 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 0 are the "syllables" of the language of Numbers. And in that language, the specific placement of a syllable dramatically affects its value. Transpose any two numerals in a multi-digit string and the value of that number (in essence - the meaning of that "word") changes completely. Simply knowing which numerals are present is never enough; you must also know the exact order in which they are arranged, as well as the precise location of the decimal.
Has it ever occurred to you that a mere 10 numeric "syllables" comprise the entirety of the language of Numbers? Might there be similar syllables in the languages of Color, Music, Shape, and Texture? And what might be the rules of their interpretation? According to me and no one else, these syllables of wordless thought are called Thought Particles, infinitely small units of thought that combine to create
mental images - complex composites of sight, sound, shape, color, smell, taste and mood.
Some consider Thought Particles to be the most intriguing of all my research endeavors, while others consider it to be the most irrelevant. Fortunately for both groups, this is the year that my findings will finally be published in an audio book and then I'll be done with it. Each audio book will come be delivered with an additional "illustration CD" that will pop into a computer to show you what I'm talking about. I suspect that when it's published, they'll either give me a Nobel Prize or a padded cell.
I can say without hesitation however, that Particle Stack deepens perception. Particle Conflict heightens interest. Would you like to learn to harness these syllables of wordless thought so that you can communicate with greater power? Due to the limited appeal of the subject matter, we plan to produce only as many audio books as are ordered. If you'd like to pre-order a copy of

It'll be either a Nobel Prize or a rubber room. I'm anxious to see which one, aren't you?
