We'd probaby have to start with good, true and beautiful ;-) Is that what we want? Are they the best words we have? Should we be using words at all?

Brilliant point about Modernism! Another one I shall steal ;-)

We should cease trying to define the indefinable and move instead to "relational" logic, I think.

ie Definition in relative terms.

Damned if I know how THAT might work!

Is there any difference between this approach and the one I was proposing ;-) You are bringing perceptions into it again.

From Wikipedia

The logic of relatives, short for the logic of relative terms, is the study of relations in their logical, philosophical, or semiotic aspects, as distinguished from, though closely coordinated with, their more properly formal, mathematical, or objective aspects.

The consideration of relative terms has its roots in antiquity, but it entered a radically new phase of development with the work of Charles Sanders Peirce, beginning with his paper "Description of a Notation for the Logic of Relatives, Resulting from an Amplification of the Conceptions of Boole's Calculus of Logic" (1870).

I've been intending dip into this after the eleventy-million other things I have on my plate clear.
