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.'
