Meaning Space transcending the imperfect Language Space? Yes, there's been some recent thinking in this direction, e.g. Zhuangzi, "Words exist because of meaning. Once you've gotten the meaning, you can forget the words. Where can I find a man who has forgotten words so I can talk with him?"

recent as in 3rd century. :D

I'm sure I'm not the only one, but this is how I've felt my whole life. people trapping themselves in this sea of words, so many arguments could be solved if we could just connect our brains and see the concepts instead of hearing the words

words are at best shortcuts -- and I say 'at best' because they still don't fix the issue of 'for me love means X, but for you love means Y'

this is another reason I'd advocate for innovating towards this Meaning Space, it's also an easier segue to web4 (brainnet)
