That’s kind of what I meant I think. Cubist chicken guys wouldn’t have so much fun if they defined their chickens 1st & we wouldn’t be able to communicate if we tried to define everything. We mostly seem to operate without clear definitions & comm benefits from that obscurity.

Mine is just a pet theory. Something I’ve been thinking about so this story jumped out at me. I think there’s something to it—obscurity helping us talking to each other but Idk how or to what extent or when... Just entertaining the thought for now.
