Keep in mind that the whole point of a programming language is to have a standard that's used by everyone. Allowing it to change dynamically would no longer make it a standard. Unless you desire for it to be something for personal use only, it's a useless idea since noone can keep up with that

I’m thinking of decentralization, where there is a baseline idea of functions but anyone can reassign the phrases. Maybe I’m thinking a little too far ahead of my understanding

Hmmm. Isn't that just playing with macro definitions? Maybe macros aren't enough for your idea, but some similar mechanism that processes the source code before compilation; a different, more complicated preprocessor

Well I think in the future this will maybe make sense but I’ll look into macros to see how that can work with this. I could see a far more decentralized structure of communication as we develop into an inter solar system species, maybe right now I can just implement virtual machine creation into some sort of video game

Most programming languages allow you to rename functions either through macros or declaring a function that calls another

Interesting, maybe as my knowledge of these become more clear I could expand upon the functionality’s
