Lojban: Constructed language to eliminate ambiguity from communication
Further words are learned to combine previous definitions and more ostensive definition, so ambiguity is carried on.
Lojban does not eliminate the ambiguity of the meaning of the words, but the ambiguity of its syntactical structure.
To me, the ambiguity of language, and the impracticality to change the meaning of words are the fundamental issues preventing humans to enhance the innate cognitive abilities, and the root cause of most human conflicts around communication.
Any profession and culture has its own jargon, this enables them to express the particular quality of their reality with much more accuracy than common language.
So, instead of trying to build a shared language, what we can do is to create a personal Language for each of us. Not for the purpose of communication, but for the purpose of improving our reasoning and internal model of the world, so we can describe and make sense of our particular reality with much more accuracy.
I've been dedicated to building "Interplanetary mind-map", a tool that supports making your language by making your meaning more explicit. [0]
At the same time, I've been using a prototype of it, to build my personal Language. You can browse into each word and see my particular understanding of it. [1]

Noosphere, a Protocol for Thought
Hey, thanks for the anecdote. It resonates with what I have come to realize about note taking: it is a personalized activity, and whatever keeps me in the habit of taking notes may or may not work for anyone else.
Inevitably, Subconscious (our companion notebook app) will manifest some opinions that not everyone will love. But, it has some qualities that you may find appealing (given your stated preferences):
- Almost no formatting in the default note syntax: https://github.com/subconsciousnetwork/subtext
What are some alternatives?
