verbs are more important than nouns
all nouns represent processes
born, live, die... a process, not a fixed entity
objects are a terrible way to model processes
Discussion
Completely, but we could be wired (evolutionary or developmentally) to "encapsulate" ideas and to understand their bounds. So embedded in our language design, how does one even create a process based language?

Modern Germans do something like this to avoid using nouns, as a way to not presume gender.
Instead of "swimmer", they say "swimming person", for instance.
one of the most ancient and still living languages, Bulgarian, heavily focuses on verbs, and has way more explicit tense modifier suffixes and prefixes than any other language i am familiar with
i'm inclined to suspect that at one time, humans had a more imperative language style than the typical modern languages
Fascinating. Process theory is so interesting because if you want to model/simulate/learn about Complex phenomena you can't start out with its basic components (unless you approximate with a computational model. Emphasis on approximate). You need to observe the system as it exists. There is never any "jump starting" like you can do with a computer because it is all entangled at multiple levels and is always in flux. You're never going to get to the "origin" but you can find limits to your theory, placing bounds that describe the phenomena in a specific context.
