How does one demonstrate that? (Or, for starters, measure semantic space?)

my first thought is: by starting with everything and successively dividing it into smaller spaces.  rick morneau (creator of katanda/nasendi) does this or very similar.  

second thought:  use concept lists (e.g. roget's thesaurus).

i don't know what the 35 minimal concepts that have been mentioned here are (any pointers, anyone?), but if i choose 5 concepts, something is likely to get left out. if i choose 50 or 500, i think the same is true:  something will get left out.  btw, toki pona comes to mind as a minimalist language.
