Hi Jackie,
>Skin: not only covering up (hiding?) what's underneath,
but the first and most obvious representation/impression
of the "meat" underneath!<
You got my thought exactly right, from my words - without telepathy! Yes, the first idea of "skin" might be the hiding aspect, but it does not make sense. The skin is necessary to give an understandable (and transmittable) shape to the "meat". It is also there to distinguish inside from outside, "you" from "me". I am a bit skeptical about the "telepathy on command" idea: The "raw data" of your thoughts might interact less favorably and less predictably with my system than the same in "coded form".
