Dimensions

Just like images, each word has dimensions.

Dimensions of size, shape and colour. Shape is usually the only thing we see. Shape is the definition of the word. Plain and simple. While colour is the feeling or emotion that the word induces and size is the granduer we either give or take away from it.

For instance technicly the words nerd and intellectual are the same shape. Yet they have different sizes. The word nerd is belittling while the word intellectual has granduer.

Also the words manipulate and influence are the same shape, yet different colours. I can imagine the word manipulate coloured a fiery red where as the word influence would be a powerful blue. One word is despised and the other adored.
