The computational system of the human natural language (CHL) is a realization of the emergent and self-organizing properties of the human brain. CHL is the typical case of a complex system: (i) it shows the butterfly effect, i.e., the final state of CHL shows remarkable variation in the phonetic and formal aspects, (ii) it is sensitive to the initial-state conditions, i.e., the language system of a human infant (the initial state of CHL) is crucially affected by the internal/external environments which s/he first encounters, (iii) iteration of a simple operation plays an important role, i.e., a simple operation, such as Merge, which concatenates two elements, plays a crucial role in forming the phrase structure, and (iv) it has boundary conditions, within which the system allows variations, i.e., the legibility conditions imposed on CHL by various external performance systems determine what possible form the human natural language should have. Our study deals with the general problem of optimal stuffing: What is "the possibility for something with 10^<11> neurons (or 10^<14> synapses) packed into something the size of a basketball that has these computational properties" (Chomsky 1994)? The linear orderings and structures of the human natural language are emergent phenomena through a symmetry-breaking mechanism, which is governed by the Law of Entropy. This paper tries to support the view given in Jenkins (2000) that "the origins of (some) properties of language, such as (a)symmetries in syntax perhaps, would be more akin to the physical evolution of molecular chirality."
