“...Ever since
the advent of the microcomputer, the technology of statical -- and especially
of dynamical -- data visualization has been advancing by leaps and bounds.”
“Data visualization has even developed toward the verge of
“holodeck”-like ‘data incarnation’ --
viz., our own ‘‘‘Prime Radiant’’’.”
“But the business we are about with the NQ arithmetic/algebra
for dialectics [and beyond], and with its ‘universal algorithmic-heuristic
method’ -- actualizing
feasible portions of Leibniz’s vision of a ‘‘‘«characteristica universalis»’’’ [of a ‘‘‘universal character-language’’’ -- i.e., of a ‘‘‘universal algebra’’’] is not just ‘‘‘data visualization’’’.”
“It is ‘thought visualization’.”
“That business is the development of tools to make visible the [directly invisible] human thought process(es), laying them open to the human thinkers themselves, as
well as to the other
humans with whom they exchange scientific knowledge, etc..”
