Language is a class of epistemological (as self-validating) tesseract.
From within its horizon of intelligibility, we can only ever see or engage the descriptions (and the descriptions of descriptions) with more language.
This is why Zen kōans frame impossible questions and concepts: it is a way to escape the language trap, using language.
Non-linearity is addressable in language, it just might not be comprehensively intelligible. The continuity of one description generates unconstructive entropy as turbulent friction within the other.
There are a few reasons for this but far more interesting is that, while language as communications medium provides sufficiently extensible logical flexibility to be for all intents and purposes unbounded (think: “potentially infinite”), the metaphysical horizon beyond description is mischievously also an entangled self-inflection that sustains creative intelligence.
Gesturing back towards the undecidable indeterminacy that binds and bootstraps systems at a holistic level: that cathartic impossibility “beyond” description is also, and simultaneously, the propulsive vacuum that haunts complex systems via logical incompleteness and constructive entropy.
Via negativa, in secular terms. Holism.
