It suggests that the language center may not be sufficient for all forms of understanding. I guess there's a reason why we have the rest of our brains as well!

It suggests that the language center may not be sufficient for all forms of understanding. I guess there's a reason why we have the rest of our brains as well! (Possibly the above might seem too glib at first. So, reasoning further...: ) But this is confusing, since natural language should -by necessity- also be Turing complete and thus be able to express anything expressible in the known universe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_completeness https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_completeness Would that mean that some form of Sapir-Whorf would apply, where in the case of some languages, a completely different part of the brain is activated even? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguistic_relativity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguistic_relativity . I think -intuitively- the best way to see it is some amalgamation of weak-form Sapir-Whorf and Turing equivalence should apply: Not all data structures are equally good at expressing the same things: Some are better than others, depending on the domain.
