It may be physics, but I suspect it will be PLAIN NEW PHYSICS.

It seems so (see the paper below). (But are there ineffable
numbers? And if such numbers exist, are they qualia?).

'Mona Lisa - ineffable smile of quantum mechanics'
Slobodan Prvanovic
13 pages, 3 figures
http://www.arxiv.org/abs/physics/0302089
'The portrait of Mona Lisa is scrutinized with reference
to quantum mechanics. The elements of different expressions
are firstly recognized on her face. The contradictory
details are then classified in two pictures that,
undoubtedly representing distinct moods, confirm dichotomous
character of the original. Consecutive discussion has lead to
conclusion that the mysterious state Mona Lisa is in actually
is coherent mixture - superposition, of cheerfulness and
sadness.'
