The need for the Top to establish a real relation to the Bottom of government i.e. where the people live their lifes, is not an easy matter. What makes it difficult is the need to bridge the 'meaning dimension' of language usage. Those different meanings inherent in usage is what allows 'political language' to have a multiplicity of meaning-variables. Those variables are what allows language to 'play games' on a multiplicity of levels of abstraction. Add to that,the many convolutions of the 'Linguistic Turn' and that renders language into a vacuous exercise. Together, a certain 'word magic' becomes possible, which can become a political tool for misleading the people at the Bottom. Ask any politician. In order to avoid the free-floating nature of language, the Top must use quantitative terms that are more exact than the linguistic terms. Of course, mathmatical and geometric terms are also 'language'. However, they are not concerned with 'meaning' as such as with the postulation of a quantity and a sense of direction. Of course, we all know those disciplines use 'number' and we all know number is always what it is and nothing else. You can't play around with numbers like you can with words. A real relation between the Top and the Bottom must, of necessity, use both languages.I repeat: that is not an easy matter. Nevertheless, if democracy is going to work, we are going to need such a language. Another difficulty, are the individuals who occupy the offices at the Top and their serious attempt to do democracy. Plain Governing is easy. Its like ruling by Kings or dictators,if anyone gets in the way,just eliminate them. Thats not the kind of governing we are talking about. No! Governing in a democratic manner requires establishing that real relation between the Top and the Bottom. It also stops the empty talk and gets things done. Recently, an ex-President said , and I paraphrase and elaborate a little, "do the math"; "Its simple arithmetic"; "Its number stupid". Number does not lie, it doesnt play politics either. We need creative, sincere people in office to establish a real bridge between the Top and the Bottom. Democracy is an equation.
