How can continuity exist in a world defined by impermanence? How does memory endure, identity evolve, and meaning return when no stable substance remains?
In Atomic Linguistics: The Architecture of Meaning and Continuity – Dialogues with Buddhism, Dr Adam Luong introduces an original theoretical framework that challenges conventional understandings of meaning, memory and persistence.
At the heart of the book lies a distinctive architecture of meaning built around five interconnected concepts: semantic atoms, semantic cores, visiblers, contextual membranes and reactivation loops. Together, they offer a structural account of how meaning may be organised, preserved through patterns and reactivated across changing contexts.
The book develops this framework through a sustained intellectual dialogue with Buddhism, examining questions of impermanence, dependent origination, karma, rebirth and the continuity of consciousness. Rather than attempting to reduce Buddhist thought to scientific explanation, or treating spiritual traditions as empirical proof, it explores how structural inquiry and contemplative philosophy can illuminate shared questions about continuity and transformation.
Moving across linguistics, cognitive theory, philosophy and Buddhist thought, the discussion invites readers to reconsider whether persistence necessarily requires a permanent substance, and whether continuity might instead emerge through the recurrence and reorganisation of meaningful structures.
Written for scholars, researchers, students and intellectually curious readers, Atomic Linguistics offers a new conceptual vocabulary for exploring the relationship between language, mind, memory and existence.
Continuity is not what remains. It is what returns.

And what might language reveal about the continuity of human experience?Atomic Linguistics: The Architecture of Meaning and Continuity - Dialogues with Buddhism introduces Dr Adam Luong's original theoretical exploration of how meaning is structured, preserved and reactivated.Moving beyond conventional explanations of language and memory, the book proposes that meaning can be understood through a dynamic relationship between semantic atoms, semantic cores, contextual membranes and observable expressions known as visiblers.Drawing on interdisciplinary discussions of linguistics, cognitive science, philosophy and Buddhist thought, Dr Luong examines questions concerning memory, identity, consciousness and continuity. Case studies involving reported reincarnation experiences and acquired savant syndrome provide opportunities to explore the explanatory possibilities and limitations of the proposed framework.Rather than treating Buddhist philosophy and contemporary science as opposing traditions, the book places them in dialogue, identifying conceptual connections while recognising their distinct epistemological foundations.Written for researchers, academics, students and intellectually curious readers, Atomic Linguistics offers a speculative but systematically developed framework for reconsidering the architecture of meaning and the relationship between language, mind and existence.
