“This is the language most widely understood on their planet. As you can divine, the individual symbols alone represent nothing, it is only when used in conjunction and suitably arranged, that they take on meaning. They have many different methods of communication, and very many symbols to deal with, and each language they have devised is based on this same principle, with a few exceptions.”

Their method of calculation is primitive and obtuse, and is not grounded by the truth of infinity. The apparent finiteness of their environment has caused them to believe all things are such, and they therefore attempt to define absolutes, and model the rest of their understanding around them.

“In comparison to most other species on the planet, theirs is very young. Their awareness is fresh, but it developed too quickly, and they became highly confused. They have primarily used imagination in an attempt to harness and exploit their environment, as opposed to understanding and revering it.”

“They attempt to understand things in unnecessary detail, but are unaware or unaccepting of basic fundamental truths, so the knowledge they acquire is incohesive and often irrelevant.”

“In conclusion, the species, whilst existing in a prefect habitat, are extremely young and impatient, and the wonder they possess developed far too quickly, and fundamental understanding was not, and likely never will be achieved. Because of their fascination with chaos, they increasingly surround themselves with existential threats of their own devising. The species is not well suited for survival, and will likely no longer exist before long. Conclusion reached.”
