Kagemusha, there would be a language of sorts I suppose, but an internal one. I'm not sure whether the child would be able to understand the outside world, unless it was relayed to it using this light-code. As for ordering the world, I don't know, I'd like to think that we order things through an ever evolving system of theories, tenets and beliefs, each being tested, replaced, defended and refined based on our experiences from birth. Providing a wholly different experience should provide an entirely different model in which thought occurs, if it occurs at all.
And yes, I was wondering why I went to all the trouble of birthing the child. I wanted to show a comparison between real-life and this imagined one, and included a shock-phase since it's the closest I can imagine being born must actually feel like. But does it have to happen? I don't know. That itself is an interesting question. What happens to the foetus that never gets born?
