It's said that if monkeys hack long enough on a typewriter, than they will inexorably end up writing something that makes sense.
Let's see if this is also true for scientists...

3-Dimensional Language

Language is a tedious thing. I've always these wonderfully meaningful 3D picture of things (objects, issues, facts) and their links (causal, temporal, spatial) in my mind. It's all clear and reassuringly contained. But to communicate this 'sensogram', I need to squeeze it into the one-dimensional tube that is our language. Too much reduction, so much frustration, and a lot of misunderstanding. We really need a 3D communication system!
