Words are pointers to nebulously defined areas in Concept-space. (Probably need to expand on this)
Another way of putting it: Proper naming conventions should give us a hint about how the properties of the named phenomena are distributed in Concept-space.
Since Words are pointers to concept-space, we can see that definitions are areas of that Concept-space.
This is also another form of the idea that Definitions are clouds in concept-space, as a definition allows us to go up a layer of abstraction, and then create new definitions using other definitions. Layers of abstraction exist as layers of Concept-space.
