So I think there is something to this but I can't see it being practically helpful without a pretty full account of the different kinds of brain crystallography.

When you're trying to communicate facts, opinions, and concepts - most especially concepts - it is a useful investment of effort to try to categorize both your audience's crystallography and your own

But I don't have any categories to do this with! Can we try and list some?

I'm actually planning to do a little of this in the luminosity sequence I mentioned in the footnote. (The luminosity sequence will not make use of crystal metaphors.) But it's awfully hard to do exhaustively.
