Are the particles that make up thoughts in our brain not also a representation of a thought? Isn't "thought" really some kind of Platonic ideal that only has approximate material representations? If so, why couldn't some language sentences be thoughts?

The sentence is the result of a thought. The sentence in itself does not capture every process that went into producing the sentence.

A thought does not capture every process that went into producing the thought either.
