    Oh my god
    When I saw the polyhedra bouncing around, I thought it was glorious.
    When I got to the concept map, I was horrified. This is awesome!
    Although the plosive box and the fricative box bounce off each other, but I think you could get the vowel pentagon to play with them too. if you bend the vowel range down 90 degrees and extrude the region out, it may work. The pentagon turns into a pentagonal prism the length of the boxes, so it can't be flipped over, and the extra dimension does nothing to the pentagon. I don't know how that would work linguistically, but I think it works geometrically.
    Your idea of the concept space at 8:40 kinda inspired me
    I suppose if we wanted the most efficient words, we would take our map of concepts, and split it in half. A "0" but would mean one side of the hyperplane, "1" would mean the other. Each side of the plane is also split in halves, all the way down
    and we just keep sending out bits until we are satisfied with our precision.

    I dont think you can really aspirate a fully voiced consonant, because of how aspiration works.
    The aspiration is a short segment between a consonant and a vowel that is basically just you exhaling air with the same phonation of the consonant in a way that seperates the consonant from the vowel. The vowel is usually voiced in some way, and usually fully voiced.
    Now, if both the consonat and the vowel have the same phonation then the aspiration is more like a written thing or an underline thing then a surface level thing, if you carch my drift

      @@zzineohp isnt it just murmured consonants, as in "breathy voiced"?
      like there is some aspiration but its not like b̬ʰ but more like b̤ʰ (excuse the ʰ as substitute for superscript ɦ). So the aspiration is not voiceless, but murmured, like the consonant. You probably know about the bʰ dʰ ǵʰ gʰ gʷʰ, so those are pretty much the same bʰ dʰ ɖʰ ɟʰ ɡʰ of sanskrit which are inherited from (and anyone please correct me cause im doing this from memory) the indo iranian bʰ dʰ ɖʐʰ(?) dʑʰ ɡʰ (or something along the lines). They are just murmured. The pʰ tʰ ʈʰ cʰ kʰ came only later in the sanskrit, and i do not know about an earlier version in the indo iranian prototype.

    I believe the Bekenstein Bound places a finite upper limit on the actual complexity. You'd only get an uncountable infinity of possibilities in classical mechanics. However, some (very) rough (mental) calculations put it in the neighborhood of exp(10²⁸), which should suffice.
