IEML (Information Economy MetaLanguage) is a constructed language designed by French philosopher Pierre Lévy to manifest the expressive power of natural communication through computable semantics.
Introduction
The author considered IEML a realization of the Characteristica Universalis, proposed by Gottfried Leibniz. Otherwise, Lévy dimissed his project as an alphabet of human thought.
- "We could have chosen other primitives and arrived at other concepts as results of the first multiplications. But my goal here is less a matter of demonstrating indisputable truths than of arranging a system of primitive notions pointing to all directions in the semantic space, and capable of generating a large number of notions derived from the first layers. Not only are languages conventional, but they cannot not be conventional."
