If I made my own GE&H-bot and asked it a question about plasma physics, its own dictionary would define plasma as something like train of rain?

From examples I've seen, you need mastery of your material to express complex ideas in such a reduced vocabulary. So much of language is assuming context that we also assume the other party "knows" what is meant and will cover for vagaries... which is much more difficult in ten hundred words.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><a href="https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/guest-blog/science-in-ten-hundred-words-the-up-goer-five-challenge/">https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/guest-blog/science-in-ten-hundred-words-the-up-goer-five-challenge/</a><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I expect you've already seen this, but a fun revisit anyway:</div><div dir="auto"><a href="https://xkcd.com/1133/">https://xkcd.com/1133/</a><br></div><div dir="auto"><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"></blockquote></div></div></div>
