About Predictive Linguistics and our methods Predictive Linguistics is the process of using computer software to aggregate vast amounts of written text from the internet by categories delineated by emotional content of the words. Predictive Linguistics uses emotional qualifiers and quantifiers, expressed as numeric values, for each and all words/phrases discovered/filtered in the aggregation process. Over 80 % of all the words gathered will be discarded for one or more reasons.
Predictive Linguistics works as NO conscious expressions are processed through the software. Rather the contexts discussed within the report in the form of entities and linguistic structures (see below) are read up in the various intake software programs, and the emotional sums of the language found at that time are retrieved. Words that are identified within my system as 'descriptors' are passed through the processing as well. These descriptor words, in the main, are those words and phrases that provide us with the detail sets within the larger context sets. As an example, the word 'prophecy' may be read up by our software at a sports oriented forum. In that case, perhaps, due to the emotional sums around the context, and the emotional values of the word itself within the lexicon, it would be put into the contextual 'bin' within the database as a 'detail word'. Note that the context of the use of the word in the sports forum is lost in the process and is of no use to us in these circumstances. What occurs is that the word is picked up as being atypical in its context, therefore of high potential 'leakage of future' value. The way this works is that most sports forum language about future events would be statistically more likely to use words such as 'bet' as in 'I bet this XXX will be outcome', or 'I predict', or 'I think that XXX will happen'. So it is the context plus emotional values plus rarity of use within the context that flags words for inclusion in the detail level of the data base. Further, it is worth noting that most detail level words are encountered in our processing mere days before their appearance. Within the IM (immediacy data) primarily, and then within ST (shorter term) data next. But a preponderance are discovered within the IM time period. Perhaps an artifact of our processing, if so, one not explored due to lack of time (cosmic joke noted).
Words are linked by their array values back to the lexicon using our set theory model (see below), and the language used within the interpretation (detail words excepted) derives from the lexicon and its links to the changing nature of contexts as they are represented within our model. Predictive Linguistics is a field that I pioneered in 1993. The software and lexicon has been in continual change/update mode since. This is due to the constantly changing nature of language and human expression.
Predictive Linguistics works to predict future language about (perhaps) future events, due to the nature of humans. It is my operating assumption that all humans are psychic, though the vast majority do nothing to cultivate it as a skill, and are likely unaware of it within themselves. In spite of this, universe and human nature has it that they 'leak' prescient information out continuously in their choice of language. My software processing collects these leaks and aggregates them against a model of a timeline and that information is provided in this report. The ALTA report is an interpretation of the asymmetric trends that are occurring even this instant as millions of humans are typing billions of words on the internet. The trends are provided in the form of a discussion of the larger collections of data (dubbed entities) down to the smallest aspect/attribute swept up from daily discussions within that context. Within the ALTA report format, detail words are provided as noted below. Phrases and idiomatic expressions are also provided as details. In the main, geographic references are merely summed, and if deemed pertinent, the largest bag in the collection is discussed as a 'probable', or 'possible' location to the events being referenced within the details. In our discussions, the interpretation is provided in a nested, set theory (fuzzy logic) pattern.
