Toki pona. End of discussion.
Well, maybe, but i've been thinking about turning tokens into words and all that fun stuff (disclaimer, i am against any kind of llm and the similar misuses of that technology) and most importantly, about how directions in this high dimensional space seem to encode true semantical dimensions.
Like how king + woman - man = king + "vector direction associated with feminity = queen (higly simplified)
This brought me to the realization that all languages have a measurable (maybe not exact but at least rough estimate) number of semantic dimensions (usually way lower than the number of words in said language).
Which then made me wonder :
-> How few semantic dimensions do you need for a functionnal conlang ? (i imagine it would be two (binary) but i would be happy to hear your counterpoints)
-> how many words per semantic dimensions do you need to get by and is there a reason why human language have so much "redundancy" (why not have "word for magnitude + word for semantic direction" ad nauseam ?)
And last but not least, can you make a language with only 3 semantic dimensions and speak in rgb colours ?
TlDR : how many semantic direction do you need to make a language ?

Man, this sounds fascinating, but I've got no clue. Can you edit the post with some links for others like me do we can be educated?
I could search myself, but I'm currently in a state of "no clue if this research return is what's being talked about".
Sure thing ! I'll try to seek some links to resources about how chatbot turn words into vectors and about conlangs.
