What is it about?
Nature created the computational system of human natural language (CHL) in the human brain. CHL generates a graph with loops with Internal Merge. According to graph-theoretical calculations, a grammatical graph has an optimal balance with respect to Kirchhoff's Current Law.

Why is it important?
This is the first serious attempt to apply graph theory to grammaticality. Graph theory reveals an optimal balance of a grammatical graph that nature created.
Perspectives
The paper may contribute to integrate biolinguistics, mathematics, and physics.
