While the authors may not have fully attributed the source of their original idea, this paper on the evolutionary dynamics of irregular participle learning provides insight into the processes involved in the translation of a mental state into a sequence of muscle commands.

This notion gives an assessment of neural plasticity and supports the hypothesis that a single mind state waterfalls into a linear sequence of classical sounds, which explains dyslexia and word order.

The waterfall of a single hyperfine condensate into a linear structure can be untangled by looking at errors across multiple samples. Does the neural structure choose one path or another? Which is stronger? Does context have an effect (an important test of the hypothesis)?

This would oppose Pinker’s theory of ‘mentalese’ which, as I understand it, is just another linear internal mental non-surface structure.
