I like the idea of "concept" .. you can represent a concept with language, visual etc. but it isn't any of those. Those are symbols used to communicate a concept or give representation to it but concepts are just connections between other concepts at the core. The closest things i feel to this is categories in category theory.

Concepts need to be linked to reality somehow in order to carry any meaning. They are thus not just relations between themselves.
Platonic forms?
interesting concept they are.
