"Habillage" (literally "dressing") in this context relates to packaging of a concept/proposition i.e. the marketing around it (or "spin"). The french word for "packaging" in the physical sense would be "emballage" (literally "wrapping"). Some would use "empaquetage" but that is less common.

So "electronics packaging" would translate to "emballage/empaquetage de composants électroniques".

IIRC, Chomsky's theory on this is that human language is first internal and is the basis for all human thought. He doesn't mean an internal 'voice', but some primordial, grammatical imperative to producing thought in a certain way. This resulted in all of the world's spoken languages and would explain rapid language learning rates in newborns.

processing power is rarely a major limiting factor.

Autonomy is. I could see compute clouds like this being offered at the OS level rather than browser, along with a claim for multiple days charge cycles, or slashed device weight/thickness. However, it would likely only work well for common and predictable computing tasks. And it would further separate users from hardware.

This is because in the real world audio always arrives late compared to images. Our brain is trained to compensate.

Personally I start getting annoyed when the delay is above +200ms or under -50ms.
