Linky?

And what do *you* mean by "two-dimensional"?

The equivalent of a "word", but exclusively depicting meaning (not sound / etc).

Transcribing a spoken conversation? Yes, certainly.

But I would say that writing the *essence* of a conversation - i.e.
the interplay of ideas - need not necessarily be linear. (At least,
for conversations that have actual content.)

Parts that rely on actual sequence of events (or sequence of
processing, e.g. having understood X only after hearing Y) would
obviously be a bit more difficult.
