What I find interesting is the idea of an image-based language. When I write 'red door' here, each of you will imagine his/her own version of a red door, based on doors and shades of red you've encountered.

However, with this image-based language, you would all see the door as I intended, because I would have projected the image to you. What would that mean when a shared experience-space wasn't as necessary for precise communication?

I also have to think that this could make for some very great humor. Image-based accents could be funny too.
