And here's a question to throw out to all: if there is a physical/biological brain location for language (surely dyadic), how is that this dyadic structure creates triadic thought? Aren't we back to Descartes' dilemma of how a mind/body interacts?

More like we're already in it when we assume that the dyadic and the triadic happen in totally different contexts. Why not one is subsumed to the other?

But can that be explained dyadically? No.
