"i" and meta-languages

Some thoughts about knowledge representation:

What is a meta-language? A meta-language allows an individual to ascertain knowledge via a series of intuitive but meaningful visual or auditory cues. Often these things convey ideas that go beyond the traditional word based languages. Some computerized effects that convey information are things like the "star field" effect that we have come to recognize in sci fi movies as a jump to hyper-light speed. Over time this effect has had almost ubiquitous recognition by audiences everywhere, conveying information without written or verbal language.
