Existential Technologies
Language, both spoken and written, is the most notable example of an existential technology, having changed everything about selfhood, thought, and memory. Whether a technology is functional or existential might be seen only retrospectively or over the span of millennia.

In this case, elements of the Embedded Language are inserted into the morphosyntactic frame of the Matrix Language.
