The observation that all human languages are, by definition, constructed social agreements, but this theory specifically highlights deliberately invented languages like Esperanto, Klingon, or programming code. These are not organic evolutions but are built from scratch to fulfill a purpose—whether fostering global peace, enriching a fictional world, or giving unambiguous instructions to a machine. They prove that the core function of language (creating shared meaning) can be engineered, and their success or failure depends entirely on whether a community agrees to use and build upon the construction.
Example: "Esperanto was built on the Theory of Constructed Languages: one guy mashed up Romantic and Germanic roots to create a 'neutral' tongue to unite humanity. It failed to replace natural languages because not enough people bought into the construction. Meanwhile, the constructed language of Python succeeded wildly because the community of programmers agreed to use it, showing that a language's power comes from shared belief in its utility, not its innate logic."

• It avoids confusing pronunciations and irregular verb forms.
• It simplifies studying curves for non-native speakers.
