Summary

This document is page 86 of a manuscript or book titled 'Are the Androids Dreaming Yet?', bearing a House Oversight Committee evidence stamp. The text is a philosophical and linguistic discussion about 'background context' in communication and how different languages (English, German, Hebrew, Chinese) structure thought and expression. It uses anecdotes about comedy sketches and linguistic examples to argue that thought processes, particularly for dyslexic engineers, may occur abstractly before being translated into language.
