Holy shit. I'm blown away by this. Imagine the ability to use these as training inputs for language processing. Just add one more representation to the bucket of things to train models on. Very fascinating. Favoriting this.

Could you elaborate? How do you see this as relating to NLP?

FWIW, I very strongly recommend Rick Morneau's monograph Lexical semantics of a machine translation interlingua ¹. It was a major influence for me, and is squarely intended for NLP model-internal usage.

Yes. Also, I suspect that feature vectors would have very natural translations into this kind of language. We could see inside the black box.
