About Linguistic Geometry
Linguistic Geometry is a research-based framework that investigates the deep structural relationships between language, mathematics, geometry, and symbolic systems. Drawing on principles from formal linguistics, topology, category theory, and theoretical physics, it explores how abstract structures of meaning can be represented, transformed, and visualized.
This site offers an interactive and conceptual gateway into that work—where words and forms are not merely symbolic, but architectonic. Through the Aeolyn framework, we present these concepts in an accessible, visual format that bridges abstract theory with tangible exploration.
Core Principles
Language as Structure
Every linguistic expression embodies geometric properties that can be formally analyzed and visualized.
Mathematical Correspondence
Syntactic, semantic, and phonological phenomena correspond to well-defined mathematical structures.
Dimensional Representation
Meaning exists in multidimensional spaces where transformations preserve essential relationships.
Compositional Geometry
Complex meanings arise from the geometric composition of simpler linguistic elements.
A Note on Terminology
The term “Linguistic Geometry” has been used in different contexts by various researchers. Our interpretation, focused on the geometric and topological structures of natural language, represents one approach among several. We acknowledge the pioneering work of others in this field.

The Aeolyn Framework
Aeolyn serves as the conceptual interface for exploring linguistic geometry. It's not a fantasy world, but a structured thought experiment—a cognitive universe where the principles of linguistic geometry are made tangible through interactive visualization and exploration.
Each region of Aeolyn corresponds to a fundamental aspect of language and its geometric properties, offering tools and visualizations that make abstract concepts accessible and engaging.
