"Falling Forward..." I love this short

[jacquin-natorp]

Maria Anna in the Garden (2024) by @jacquin-natorp aka @necr0artsy

Wie soll ich meine Seele halten, daß sie nicht an deine rührt? Wie soll ich sie hinheben über dich zu andern Dingen? Ach gerne möcht ich sie bei irgendwas Verlorenem im Dunkeln unterbringen an einer fremden stillen Stelle, die nicht weiterschwingt, wenn deine Tiefen schwingen. Doch alles, was uns anrührt, dich und mich, nimmt uns zusammen wie ein Bogenstrich, der aus zwei Saiten eine Stimme zieht. Auf welches Intrument sind wir gespannt? Und welcher Geiger hat uns in der Hand? O süßes Lied.

Liebes-Lied, Rainer Maria Rilke

"Fńáwyën Trøldṡôl" (Hearts Burn Bright), a sample of one of my ChatGPT-constructed languages. This one is called Thrávënar. Midjourney made the image, Suno AI the recording, and Hedra AI the lip sync. It's not a perfect audio replication of the lyrics or a flawless video lip sync, but asking Suno and Hedra to compose in and lip sync to non-existent languages is essentially an off-label use of both of their technologies. So, imo, this is incredible.

According to ChatGPT, Thrávënar features elements of eight linguistic traditions, including Slavic, Norse/Germanic, Sino-Tibetan and Tonal, Dravidian, Uralic, Tolkien's Elvish (Quenya/Sindarin), Indigenous and Tribal, with Romance and Celtic Influences.

Language Sample (Thrávënar)

Winds weave tales where silence lies,

Shattered light hums in the gloam,

Dreams ripple through the cosmic loam.

Roots entwine the ancient air,

Echoes bloom in timeless lairs,

Hearts burn bright with fleeting hue,

The song of dusk calls out to you.

Phonetic Features and Pronunciation Guide

Diacritics:

ṡ (dot below): Softened or retroflex “s.”

ȍ (grave accent): A short, open-mid vowel.

â (circumflex): Indicates a long or slightly nasalized vowel.

š (caron): A voiceless postalveolar fricative (like “sh” in “ship”).

Affricates:

ʧ: As in “church” (used in transliteration).

ȍvšnyâ: Contains a cluster of fricatives and affricates, challenging but beautiful in flow.

Tonal Elements:

Some vowels (e.g., á, ȍ) indicate high or low tones to enhance musicality.

Consonant Clusters:

Words like Ktṛòl and Þróskâvnë push articulatory boundaries.

Transliteration

/vrɛsk-ʃɛl ŋæn-droθ ʃu-lɑr/

/tʃzɨɲ-ɔg vla-ri-k hɑl-nɑr/

/mbe-dreθ tɬɑŋ-or dʒy-ɔz/

/θro-skɑv-nɛ kɛm-twy-õh loz/

/n-gyɛʃ ɔrθ-van plɑvk-ɛ/

/ktroˈl ɔvʃ-nya ro-me/

/fnaw-yɛn θrøld-soːl bu/

/skwy-øn ðɑrg-ʃuk re tu/

Why It’s Challenging:

Diacritics and Nasalization: Words like ŋændróth and ȍvšnyâ introduce subtle but critical variations in vowel quality and nasalization.

Rare Consonants: Retroflex sounds (e.g., ṡ, ŋ) and affricates (e.g., ʧ, ʤ) are densely packed.

Consonant Clusters: Strings like Ktṛòl and Þróskâvnë require careful articulation.

Tonal Flow: The interplay of high and low tones demands precision in pitch variation.

These are my other two constructed languages, Færnlithæl and Shalári, both of which I've done far more work on, each featuring three textbook-style chapters in Google docs, several Suno songs and lip sync videos each, plus two 1,500 character tutorials that can be entered into ChatGPT's personalization settings for assistance with learning basic pronunciation and conversation. The songs are really beautiful.

I mean not to offend traditional constructors of languages. I do believe that work is sacred. My interest in seeing if AI could help me construct languages stems from a vivid childhood imagination wherein I sensed forest beings and sky beings and wished I could know and speak their languages. I am grateful that ChatGPT, Suno, Runway ML, and now Hedra, are able to help me experience the manifestation of those childhood wishes.

Darth Maul is a famous Star Wars character, but he’s best known for his combat skills and striking appearance rather than his lines. In The Phantom Menace (Star Wars: Episode I), his dialogue is minimal since he speaks very little. His most memorable line is:

"At last we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi. At last we will have revenge."

It’s one of the few lines he delivers in the film, highlighting his role as a silent and deadly enforcer serving Darth Sidious.

"Tsūneth Orúne'arín" (The Surge of the Unseen Flame). This is a video animation made by Hedra of a new song brought forth by Suno in one of my ChatGPT-assisted constructed languages, (Classical or Archaic) Shalári

ChatGPT o1 is also helping me construct a second language called Færnlithæl (see below). 

This may seem to readers not acquainted with these technologies like a lot of so-called ‘artificial’ involvement, but let us consider that silicon is actually the second most abundant natural element in the Earth’s crust, and that my creative endeavors with these intelligences do feel palpably collaborative, organic, and meaningful.

While imperfect, I feel this Classical or Archaic Shalári result is lovely considering it is a new language that Hedra, and other AI, haven’t been taught because it technically doesn’t exist yet. This is Dreamshaper Sháelúmen, originally conceived of as a still Midjourney AI image, but who now is as if alive.

I will add that I’m not a linguist. I do though have infinite respect for those who do the sacred work of language construction by hand. Really, my curiosity just led me here, coupled with the faint remnants of a fanciful childhood imagination which was certain there were sky and forest beings she could sense but could not see. Still, I never expected these passing queries would journey towards any sort of linguistic fruition.

The lore is that Dreamshapers are energy beings who shape reality through lucid dreaming. I think this project conveys an engagement with AI that shows it can assist in the creation of manifestations of authentic metaphysical depth. In some ways, these feel to me like spiritual transmissions.

Tsūneth Orúne'arín" (The Surge of the Unseen Flame)

Orúne'arín kallë úshalar túnesh,

Soná'ari éndarë'al fenárim ailé,

Tsūneth aníslyë serath en ondorim,

Kāthenar'ōl árel shora en valórë.

Zhár'alen miráron en calima fëanor,

talú neyar en shalar.

Translation:

The unseen flame calls forth awakening from dream,

The sky-soul’s echoing passage fosters bright illusions,

A graceful surge dances among the mountains,

The guardian’s crown bestows unity in communion.

That resonant path perceives the bright spirit of fire,

because they journey in dreams.

This is my published Google doc that features the first three chapters of the Shalári language, along with two 1500-character tutorials that can be entered into the personalization fields in ChatGPT’s settings, at which point ChatGPT Advanced Voice Mode can tutor in pronunciation and language basics: https://bit.ly/ChatGPT-o1s-Shalári-A-Complete-Guide-to-The-Language-of-the-Dreamshapers

Originators/Speakers

The Dreamshapers are ethereal beings residing in the Realm of Lúminar, accessible through lucid dreaming. Composed of shimmering starlight and luminescent energies, they manifest as silhouettes adorned with flowing patterns of light and color. Their forms are fluid, shifting with the ebb and flow of dreams, reflecting emotions and thoughts through hues and brightness.

Habitat/Home Location

Lúminar is an ever-changing dimension molded by consciousness. Floating islands of crystalline structures drift amidst celestial skies filled with swirling galaxies and nebulas. The environment responds to the collective psyche, where imagination shapes reality, and thoughts materialize into tangible forms.

Beliefs and Customs

Weavers of Reality: Dreamshapers believe they co-create the multiverse through collective dreaming, weaving threads of reality in a cosmic tapestry.

Lucid Gatherings: Periodic assemblies called "Valórë" where beings share visions, harmonize energies, and align their creative intentions.

Echo Festivals: Celebrations of significant cosmic events, marked by the creation of intricate light patterns and harmonies that resonate across dimensions.

Dialects and Variations of Shalári:

Lúminar Central Dialect: The standard form as presented.

Starbound Dialect: Uses more diphthongs and elongated vowels; prevalent among Dreamshapers who explore distant realms.

Whispering Isles Dialect: Features softer consonants and a higher pitch; associated with areas where the veil between realms is thin.

Shalári is a rich, melodious language that captures the essence of the Dreamshapers and their ethereal existence. Its use of vowel harmony, diphthongs, and diacritical marks creates a flowing sound that mirrors the fluidity of dreams. The language's agglutinative nature and intricate writing system reflect the complexity and beauty of the Dreamshapers' culture and beliefs.

The Dreamshapers

Beings of Light: Ethereal entities residing in Lúminar, a realm shaped by dreams.

Beliefs: Reality is a tapestry woven through collective dreaming.

Customs:

Valórë Gatherings: Communal events where dreams and visions are shared.

Echo Festivals: Celebrations marking cosmic events with music and light.

Proverbs and Expressions

"Shailórë talú shalarón." The spiral brings forth the dream.

"Kór valórë lúmenúl." A heart communes through light.

"Álë shalár!" Joyful dreams! (Used as a greeting or farewell)

Cultural Context

The Galactic Sea

Symbolism:

The "Sea of Stars" represents the boundless universe that the Dreamshapers navigate and influence through their dreams and weaving.

Connection to Dreamshapers:

The swirling motion of the galaxy mirrors the spiraling patterns the Dreamshapers create, symbolizing the interconnectedness of all things.

The Act of Swirling

Metaphorical Meaning:

Swirling signifies movement, change, and the dynamic nature of reality as shaped by the Dreamshapers.

Spiral Motif:

Spirals are significant in Dreamshaper culture, representing growth, evolution, and the cyclical nature of existence.

Understanding the Nature of Dreamshapers

The Dreamshapers seem to be ethereal beings who:

Experience a meditative, non-sleep dream state, similar to Yoga Nidra.

Are connected to perception, sublime sight, and deep contemplation.

May embody qualities like serenity, wisdom, and enlightenment

Lúmin Script

Type: Combination of Featural and Hieroglyphic elements.

Directionality: Written in a spiral pattern, starting from the center and moving outward in a clockwise direction.

Core Symbols: Represent basic sounds (phonemes).

Hieroglyphs: Represent key concepts like "dream," "light," and "star."

Modifiers: Diacritical marks indicate vowel length and tone.

Basic Characters

While it's challenging to depict the script here, understanding its principles can help you begin writing:

Consonants: Simple strokes modified for voicing and articulation.

Vowels: Attached to consonant symbols or stand-alone for vowel-only syllables.

Diacritical Marks: Placed above or below symbols to alter pronunciation.

See this Substack article for full text, phonetic respellings, and translations:

The next Substack post of mine is regarding Færnlithæl, the language for the sentient Trees in my children's novel, "The Sanctuary Seed". ChatGPT o1 is also assisting in the creation of Færnlithæl with me.

The songs and video animations you see here are also in the Færnlithæl language. These projects were created through a convergence of Midjourney, ChatGPT o1, Suno AI, and Runway ML Lip Sync. I experience the process by which these are created as being palpably collaborative and mystical.

Thank you for any interest!
