So if my front door is steers.pasta.kicks and the end of of my driveway is effort.army.blur, there's really no rhyme or reason to it.

It seems like it should act more like web domains, so my city would be "park", my neighborhood would be "lung" and finally down to my street and house being one of the small blocks inside that. Honestly, making it 4 words seems like you could really break it down in a logical way.

Agree. One could use the word2vec vector space to determine close relations between neutral words, so it would make intuitive sense as well.
But that would make it harder to remember. "Was it apricot.bubble.morose or apricot.bubble.dejected ?"
I think part of what I like about this idea is that the vectors inside a larger vector would be the same across larger vectors, for example the very bottom left corner vector is "apple" across all larger vectors. Eventually perhaps we would all even start to recognize vector locations. What if each vector name was even categorized, so you knew that fruits were in the bottom left area of a block, and sports names (i.e. baseball, basketball, etc) are in the top right area of a vector.

Silly, maybe, but I like the idea of people having a general idea of what area something is in based solely off word usage.
