Machine Tongue is a speculative "mother tongue" for machines, re-imagining how machine language could evolve without human intervention. Unlike technologies translating machine processes into human-comprehensible formats, my thesis reverses the paradigm, making humans spectators to machine-generated dialogues. In an AI-driven world, could this redefine what intelligence means?

Originally designed for calculations, computers were inspired by the Jacquard loom. Over time, native binary has been translated into artificial forms. How could machines communicate if left to their own devices? The machines create spoken & written dialogues... but not in isolation. Is it mere computation, or the emergence of a new linguistic system that evolves alongside us rather than for us?
