If we hit that point we could well speculate about communicating by
exchanging "core dumps" of the relevant brain states; I could not only
communicate to you that I saw something blue, but also _exactly_ what
shade of blue it was, by copying that part of my memory and and
including it in the "core dump"; I could also communicate to you
everything I know about a subject encoding as a "core dump" the brain
states of the region(s) where that information is stored. (I don't
say neuron states because I don't assume that we will be using a
structure that involves neurons at that point.) IF the singularity
occurs, there is, as you say, no way to predict anything beyond that
point. If the world is to become less comprehensible to us than our
culture and lives would be to a Neanderthal, we can't reasonably
predict how that will affect things; so there is no way to plan for
it.
