plat's cave of shadows

the mind is like a box. it is three dimensional and has three-dimensional objects within it.

the act of naming the objects with names of our choosing , or according to convention of our choosing , creates two-dimensional imprints on one of the surfaces of the box, which are then used for communication with other 3dbox-having-robots.

it is possible to remember the three-dimensional nature of these imprints with constant conversation but it is also easy to forget their nature over time

thus language fails over time
