There’s a popular order: opinion, size, physical quality or shape, age, colour, origin, material, purpose. What created this order? I don’t know, but I know that certain biases could make it easier to understand.
How would you model the fact that non-English languages use different orders?
This example isn’t supposed to be a falsifiable model. The example is supposed to make you think: maybe things that look like complicated formal rules are actually made up of “biases” that are simple enough and don’t directly encode any formal rules. This may be a possibility that you never considered (or maybe you did).
So I would try to model another order the same way, but using different biases. However, I’ve read that the order isn’t unique to English.
Just to engage a bit this idea:
