Anthropomorphics

Anthropomorphics is a successor concept to Generative Anthropology. It is an originary grammar of the center. It focuses on a small set of invariant concepts like “origin,” “mimesis,” “scene” and “deferral”. These concepts are repeated, expanded and made complex in innumerable ways.

Anthropomorphics begins with Generative Anthropology's derivation of successive speech forms in the Origin of Language but unlike Gans' GA, it more rigorously orients the vocabulary around the center.

Anthropomorphics reveals that speaking in terms of the imperatives we are conveying, or hearing, from the center, when discussing declarative sentences and discourse, yields insights unavailable when following more conventional imperatives to speak about sentences and discourses in terms of meanings packaged by one mind for others according to specific explicit and tacit rules.

Anthropomorphics is developed in a book with the same title by Dennis Bouvard and his substack.
