    Interesting, I would say to this that Grammar is the exact sort of complexity that will arise out of the necessity for more and more distinctions. Flipping "eat me" and "me eat" became, at some point, important enough that the relation between a sign and time became important. That is a way that grammar can quickly grow out of "no grammar"
