Weakness of one-dimensional language

https://gyazo.com/1f1e74d26ee8a1d114ad02e7e7031f9c

If a structure in which A and B hang independently on C is unidimensionalized in the order "ABC", it becomes ambiguous whether A hangs on B or C.

Example "I in beautiful Japan" is ambiguous as to whether it is "beautiful Japan" or "beautiful me.

If you try to do something about it, it becomes "AC and BC, in no particular order" or something like that.

Natural language is a naturally occurring protocol between devices with cognitive abilities that do not find this a problem, so it is expensive to try to flow something rigorous
