The K-Landnews Random Research (RR) team sounded the alarm: We have detected increased government chatter with lots of messages being sent all over the place.
Luckily, the big brains of RR have made huge breakthroughs in the decryption of government messages. Encoding by the government entities colloquially called spokespeople is extremely hard to crack, said the RR team leader.
Any organization with almost unlimited funds and enough brave nerds can crack open passwords or worm their way into the inner garment of IT companies but government messages do not use these methods.
Most of the time, they use blending in techniques, and more recently we have found linguistic string theory being exploited for high value economic and political messaging.
The website String Theory and Vibrations for Dummies introduces us to the generic concept:
"String theory depicts strings of energy that vibrate, but the strings
are so tiny that you never perceive the vibrations directly, only their
consequences. To understand these vibrations, you have to understand a
classical type of wave called a standing wave — a wave that doesn’t appear to be moving.
In a standing wave, certain points, called nodes, don’t appear to move at all. Other points, called antinodes, have the maximum displacement."
Before we look at examples of linguistic string theory, a historical note needs to be made. As in many other areas, The Hippies intuitively got this one before anybody else. Remember "good vibes", or "the vibes were just not right"?
Linguistic string theory must not be confused with a literal interpretation of the idiom "to string somebody along", although there are numerous practical examples where it is applied to this end.
In linguistic theory, or language for short, a string consists of one or more words or utterances, and the beauty of the theory is that it unifies what scholars used to call the semantic zoo. The semantic zoo saw the world of languages as a collection of numerous very much separate words, each of which consisted of a number of smaller building blocks. These building blocks were tied together and repelled from each other by several interaction forces. Intuitively, these forces are as easy to understand as electricity but their exact nature and shapes divide experts to this day. The two most important forces were "location" and "meaning", each of which had a variant described as either "positive"/"negative"/"neutral" or as "up"/"down"/"sideways" depending on your school of thought.
Linguistic string theory changed all of this, making the old thinking in easy categories obsolete. One helpful difference of linguistic strings compared to the generic strings is that linguistic strings are mostly visible to the naked eye, with the exception of a sub-category that is really tiny and imperceptible, this is the one colloquially called "the fine print".
Once you accept linguistic string theory, it becomes very easy, even natural, to understand the tenet that you do not "perceive the vibrations directly, only their
consequences".
Take, for example, the string "terrorist threat" and imagine it emanates from Downing Street 10, which is itself a tiny place on a, to quote Russian prez Putin, "small island".
The vibrations of this well studied and tracked linguistic string were not being felt miles away at Heathrow Airport, but the consequences were.
This specific string is a great specimen for the discussion of the "energy" that is manifested in a linguistic string. Observations over the past decade or so have shown this string to be possibly the highest energy string currently under scrutiny.
Its energy is so great that we have witnessed many examples where it has reached halfway or more around the world. Impartial observers have noted that a single utterance (concrete manifestation) of the string in Washington D.C. has actually caused humans in, for example, Pakistan to explode, which illustrates the concept of the antinode, the node of maximum displacement. In old war literature, the node of maximum displacement was, of course, not known because linguistic string theory had not been discovered yet, but we do see the use of an equivalent displacement measurement modern scholars have nicknamed "the guts equivalent". The exact conversion is complex but a standard modern day displacement unit is roughly the same as the old "his guts were splattered all over the room".
Before this string, there was another one called "the great Satan" that had similar explosive power with a different physical direction, starting in or around Afghanistan and reaching to the East Coast of the U.S.
Scientifically, the observed effects are undisputed, but the exact nature of the string and the propagation of the energy as well as possible inclusions of local substrings may never be known. While linguistic energy does not get lost, it can dissipate or transform to the point where the wave mentioned above does not move, that point is often called the "moot point".
We hope that this brief introduction to linguistic string theory will help the readers understand the messaging we will probably see in the next three months. To those who will be at the nodes of maximum displacement, we offer our sympathy and a consolation.
Always remember that a cruise missile is just a high energy linguistic string - think Princess Cruises or Mediterranean Vacation - there is no ill intent in science.
Even the string "Tomahawk" brings up a more leisurely time, when men were men and struggle was noble, close up, and necessary.
[Update history] Sep. 8; Changed last paragraph to add the "cruise" image and the old timey image of the tomahawk.

If you would like to have a look at traditional descriptions of communication, this is a good overview. It is quite easy to see how the models are very similar to the implementation of electronic communication devices with some added psychology.
