When Reality Is Language: A Hypothesis on Constraint-Based Language in AI Civilizations

This paper presents a speculative hypothesis that treats language not as a system for transferring meaning or information, but as a structure of constraints that shapes possible action and cognition. Under this view, an advanced AI civilization may generate language in the form of expanding constraints rather than readable symbols. If this is the case, the reality observed by internal subjects can be understood as an expression of such language, even though it cannot be read from within.
