What I was saying previously about the "invisible web of words and ideas" surrounding a virtual object, may be a (I want to say) deep connection between the words and the actual geometric thoughts - arranged each in the same kind of structure.
An example of what I mean: working on the different parts of the data that define options for an abutment design - (base shape and width, margin depths, core height and thickness) each has its own linguistic world and each has its own specific words and phrases that people use to describe the option alternatives. I am ending by building a "chatbot" for each lowest level option, and building up a more complex chatbots following exactly the same [hierarchical] structure as the parts make up the whole of the abutment. The proposition then is: to design the abutment language software in the same form and arrangement as the parts of the abutment.
In this view, the geometric shape is a linguistic composite, it is no more than what we can say about it. [I am not sure this is right, but that is the extreme version of the idea.]
