The Linguistic Turn and Number

The best way to circumvent the harmful effects of the Linguistic Turn in government is to view Constitutional government in triadic form and the Bottom of government as Number. This new manner of referencing Constitutional government does not take away anything from the Constitutional description of Three Branch government. It merely allows us to have a different perception of government, viz. in quantifiable terms. Its still the same government. Since language, even democratic language, can be 'twisted' to the point of absurdity, its best to quantify our already existing terms. Linguistically, when we say everyone is free and equal, in politically correct language, the terms used are hollow; do not require 'application'; and can be easily circumvented. Politicians say, "of course everyone is free and equal" and then proceed to follow their own 'selfish' and 'party-politics' agendas. All politics is a 'representational' activity. It should not be selfish and it should not be a 'party politics'. In a democracy, it should be democratic. Using the language of Number, allows all numerical 'references' to actually be counted. Since democratic government is a 'real' relation between the Top and the Bottom of the government triad, a quantifiable equation is possible to determine the effectiveness of government policy and Law. Obviously, its not, and can never be perfect. But, its more manageable. The reason for that is that the convolutions of the Linguistic Turn do not apply to Number. Number is also a 'language'; its a quantifiable language that can not be distorted, or 'confused', as can, language terms intended to convey only 'meaning'. Of course, political language will continue to be used, but when it comes to 'installing' a democratic policy, the 'language' of Numbers do not lie. "Look at the Numbers stupid."
