What is the Subject?
A thought that is not directed by an accepted paradigm of thinking, if committed to an accepted vocabulary and syntax, will make as much sense to its readers as a sentence written in a language that they do not know.
Gopher, your remark about relating to something on a subconscious level is perceptive. Knight, it is the ability to reach this level, I think, that burdens the one trying to communicate an unparadigmed (intentionally ugly word) thought. There is also a bit of faith involved, that is, that the receptive subconscious is in fact there.

I tend to agree, accept that a language we do not know can be understood if taught effectively or if we can decypher it.
However, maybe we can only decypher what we already relate to, even if in a somewhat subconscious sense.
