You state that abstract thinking is impossible without language, and that language enables internal dialogue.

The sharp question is:

What exactly does language add, structurally, that makes abstract thinking possible?

Not socially, not descriptively — structurally.

abstraction

Good. Short and exact.

So, in RF:

  • Language adds abstraction
  • Abstraction is the structural capability that:
    • detaches S from immediate input
    • allows manipulation of non-present, non-concrete entities
    • enables IA-driven speculation
  • Without language, processing remains tied to the concrete and the immediate

That closes Question 6.
