Throughout his life, Whorf was a chemical engineer by profession but as a young man, he took an interest in linguistics. The idea, however, follows from post- Hegelian 19th-century philosophy, especially from Wilhelm von Humboldt and from Wilhelm Wundt's Völkerpsychologie. ![]() This principle, named after him and his mentor Edward Sapir, was initially called linguistic relativity by Whorf because he saw the idea as having implications similar to Einstein’s principle of physical relativity.

The problem with designing levels this way is that you can't craft a really clever environment with really specific landmarks, area's etc. ![]() Bungie went out of their way on CoO reveals to say that "It's not procedurally generated, we just use lego pieces and have an algorithm put it together". ![]() It's boring because it's just procedurally generated areas, ala No Mans Sky.
