Well, most of the people that talk about making a TOE either forget relativity or forget QM, so actually the development of theories is abandom of theories. When we want to make a theory about every single thing in the univere, that is, not a theory of the basic, but o everything, then we will abandom and forget the TOE which will explain the basis and make theory that explains every single thing. But I doubt we humans achieve that theory of all everything, I even doubt we will acheive a TOE of basics.
Anyway my post doesn't impply that. A theory of words is a theotry about things (words) that has no existence as such in reality. They are ink symbols in paper, that's a word. This is why there can be no empirical theory of words. But there can be empirical theories of spacetime, matter, force, energy... That is why the TOE won't be liek the theory of definition. And anyway, if we don't do what I mean, even in a different way, but do it, we will never be able to talk about everything for everything will automatically be an entitiy itself.
