Language is the tool we use to codify a heuristic understanding of reality. The world we interact with daily is not the physical one, but an ideological one constructed out of human ideas from human minds. This is the world we live in and the air we breath is made of our ideas about oxygenation and partly of our concept of being alive.

It's not that these "human tools" for understanding "reality" are superfluous, it's just that they ar second-order concepts. Spatial understandings, social cues, math, etc. Those are all constructs built WITHIN our primary linguistic ideological framing of reality.
