Because the conceptual manifold is tied to language and shared between speakers, its shape can be inferred from statistics over text. But to imagine what things look like, you need to infer their shape from patterns on your retina and skin.

Can its shape really be inferred from text? When I read the words "your first beer" I see an image of a fresh pint of ale. You say "your first teacher" and I think: Mrs Burcham. You presume that vector values are universal. But they are in part subjective.
