λLang. is an informal research and development platform focused on studying and understanding symbolic systems, reasoning, inference and representation, producing tools within various typologies — from workshops to open-source software, from scientific papers to editorial objects. The form and content of our outputs — doing things to understand how we know things  — can be deemed the same since, from our pragmatist /constructivist framework: "knowing is literally something which we do"*.

The platform’s name, λLang., reflects its constructional agenda, drawing inspiration from lambda calculus notation. In lambda calculus, a function is a "black box" defined not by its internal identity but by its behaviour — by what it does. By treating Language, with a capital 'L,' as an argument, the expression embodies the project’s asymptotic goal: what does Language do?
