Ah, time and dedication... and first of all - a will to do it (or maybe a lack of need).
Different paths of life, I guess. Why would you solve a problem, if you can not see the problem?!

In addition to your ability and willingness to "speak" and "read" this new language, you'll have to convince the music-making public at large to do the same.
And then you'll have to convince software developers that it's worth their time to abandon what they've been doing for years to adapt to your new methodology.
And then you'll have to convince the publishers of sheet music to convert all of their existing material to this new methodology.
And then... well, you get the idea.
Even if there's a consensus among the REAPER community about a wonderful new way of communicating music as a language, there's going to be a huge uphill climb before it's accepted by the musical community at large, especially if you're going to go so far as to have a new naming scheme for chords, etc.
That's not to say you shouldn't be pursuing this a an intellectual exercise. It's been an interesting conversation to date and something interesting is bound to come out of it. But it's difficult to see this as anything that will go past these conversations.
If that makes me a Luddite or a naysayer, then so be it. In the meantime, think back on the previous comments made by others about the lack of adoption of Esperanto and (at least in the US) the metric system.
