Not pretending to understand much of what Wittgenstein was saying, but I think it actually quite relevant in the context of your full post that, according to Betrand Russel, Wittgenstein's thinking was profoundly influenced by projective geometry and his early philosophy was in some sense applying the principles of what he found there to linguistics. Perhaps the ultimate VHLL can be defined as one that most perfectly facilitates the ability to preserve meaning in a transformation from human linguistic hardwiring to machine hardwiring.
