TY - JOUR AB - Purpose– To define natural grammars with ways of mind activity in cybernetics (design and learning, innovating) technologies by mathematical symbol (image, scheme) of hierarchical systems.Design/methodology/approach– Suggested hierarchical scheme of the whole field of natural grammars connects mathematical images of individual grammars as certain stages of the process in hazy zones when new strata arise. Arrangement of the images and their order in their general scheme correspond to marked lines of grammars in mind activity, and thereby to ways of text organizing by their means.Findings– The paper proves that hierarchical mathematics allows definition of all the strata of its natural history (physical, chemical, biological, demographical, and knowledge). Their definitions are connected in general scheme of knowledge authorized by mathematics (which includes cybernetics means – innovating technologies). Natural languages in the light of suggested scheme are hierarchical systems which have all strata of knowledge and their own means of mind activity in these strata – natural grammars.Originality/value– The scheme developed meets all the requirements of practical cybernetics, it brings new light to theory and practice of connecting nations, allows to simplify innovating technologies and their exchange in polylingual fields.
