Indeed, those are the symbols (words, phrases, grunts, etc.) I refer to. Thanks for clarifying. I can readily think of a dozen ways used by humans to encode spoken symbols onto physical objects (there are dozens more). African drumming and Inca quipu "knot writing" are fascinating, and among the most resistant to machine translation. The brain itself is the most resistant. Heck, I can't translate my own. Has anyone made a silent "language" purely out of facial expressions?
