Hey Ben -

I like this idea. Makes me think of terms like 'personality vectors'
(which to me implies both vector mapping and vectors of transmission).
My first thought is that there would still be some detail-rich
personality "content" which probably couldn't easily be compressed or
described in terms of parameters; namely memories. But I daresay
memories contain a lot of redundant information too... recurring
themes, images, & associations, for one.
