It seems to me the greater we understand physics the more applicable venn diagrams become, in the sense that most seem more accurately described by describing the location of spaces that overlap with them, genre in music for instance is rarely a clear description for allot of pieces of music unless it includes two or more genres and this indicates that the musics true location is at the intersection often between genres . Now one approach is to have longer and longer genre descriptions, or permanently bury the idea of precise locations or distinct categorisations, and accept things need tagging with several tags which can be repurposed many ways.

ie music isn’t say “progressive rock” its … “progressive”, “rock” … as this is more efficient as it limits the number of genres yet retains clarity and open endedness.

when measuring very small particles, similarly one can often know the location in space or the velocity and direction of a particle but not both simultaneously with extreme precision, it therefore might be easier to perceive such things in terms of the overlaps of venn diagrams, as this describes effective relationships without the need for precise numbers.

too foten in life we like the clear monotonal description as it enables binary decision making, ie :

someone is “sad” therefore we might “cheer them up”

whereas as most often “sad” caps and simplifys perhaps “sad” , “reflective” , “confused” , “directionless”

we also need a symbol or a tolerance within language to allow conflicting states to both be present in the same location as logic desires currently to deny the existance of such situations as it makes decisional logic difficult, someone can for instance, be in a moment of happyness so tender, it makes them sad by comparison of how far theyre were from that feeling upon reflection, this makes them sad at the same time as being happy.
