Episode 494: Lexicography of the Infinite—Naming the Field

Today’s episode explores the profound struggle of using limited vocabulary to describe experiences that are inherently vast and multi-dimensional. The author of the source article, Dr. Jaime Hoerricks, adopts the term "field" as a specialised linguistic tool to capture complex atmospheres and emotional resonances that standard analytical language often fails to convey. This process is described as an exhausting translation of sacred, lived realities into the restrictive format of linear sentences. By naming these elusive concepts, Dr. Hoerricks asserts meaning sovereignty, refusing to allow rich human experiences to be flattened into simple labels or checklists. Ultimately, her writing serves as a lens for understanding a world where true meaning is felt and co-created rather than just defined. This approach acknowledges that whilst words may be imperfect, they remain essential for holding onto conversations about the intangible aspects of life.
