You have made a finer distinction here between ideas thoughts and words
which I have not experience of or not noticed!. I like you image of
clothing disgiuses I guess I had thought of it as a process of reduction
as sort of orthogonal projection from a higher demension to a lower
excluse my mathmatical model but its the only one I have where
information is lost not gained and there are an infinite number of
possible projections depending on you view point plane of reference.

Ugh! Can any one with a mathmatical mind translate that into something more
generally comprehesible?

Lovely. Good to see in from the other way round. Again I had always seen in
analytically ie: we have to tear ideas apart to put then into words.
