leonardo's ellipse, dyslexia and assistive technologies
DESCRIPTION
Leonardo Da Vinci was, in his own estimation, an omo sanza lettere, an unlettered and uneducated man. His ignorance of Latin and grammar prevented him from communicating in writing with the learned men of his time. He turned to the mathematics and visual language. Translation, transformation and the different codes play a great role in our changing world. You can understand it through mathematical analogyTRANSCRIPT
Leonardo's ellipse, perspective and translation

As a psychologist, I use words, and words are not sufficiently clear codes. My task would be easier to use the language of mathematics.
However there are thoughts that are not easy to turn to the mathematical code.
How can we translate thoughts into words, even with scanty words and what are our perspecitves?
Interdisciplinarity
Interdisciplinarity that is what we praise. And that is the future, too. And it was the rescue of the brains like Leonardo’s.
"Non mi legga chi non e matematico."(Let no one read me who is not a mathematician.)
Leonardo (1452-1519) was skilled in painting, sculpture, science, music, invention, mathematics, philosophy, engineering, civil and military architecture and the design of weapons.
Interdisciplinarity
”omo sanza lettere”(unlettered and uneducated man)
Leonardo was a polimath, without question. And he was a genius, while he had his serious limits in his age, the age of the literal abilities.
Leonardo was, in his own estimation, an omo sanza lettere, an unlettered and uneducated man.
His ignorance of Latin and grammar prevented him from communicating in writing with the learned men of his time.
Interdisciplinarity
If little Leo would attand the school of our age, he would get even a diagnosis probably of dyslexia. And maybe hyperactivity, too. And what about his genius side?
The black and white thinking problem. Diagnosises are not clear categories.
”omo sanza lettere”(unlettered and uneducated man)
Learned men looked down on him, so he in turn shunned their ideas about the route to wisdom, preferring observation, experience, and experiment to contemplation.
Interdisciplinarity
"I am fully conscious that, not being a literary man, certain presumptuous persons will think that they may reasonable blame me; alleging that I am not a man of letters.”
”omo sanza lettere”(unlettered and uneducated man)
He must have had to face a lot trouble. It is just understandable that he used math codes to hide some of his thoughts.
Interdisciplinarity
”Foolish folks! ... they do not know that my subjects are to be dealt with by experience rather than words, and experience has been the mistress of those who wrote well.”
”omo sanza lettere”(unlettered and uneducated man)
We can understand his rage against the scholars.
"The noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding." Leonardo
Troubled by his lack of education, Leonardo had an ongoing program of self-study in language and mathematics. Leonardo turned to a clear code area: mathemathics. And here comes my study on the codes.

Different transformations of the circle will lead to different shapes.
These shapes can be utilized for understanding other transformations in other areas.

There is another genius, with a very simalar brain Leaonardo had. Einstein used the art, too. He had another clear area, the music.

A proper translation leads to translational symmetry.
Is it symmetry when we turn the written text to voice?

Transformation and translation of the codes
can lead to different systems

Informatics
Leonardo's new ellipse,is a new perspective
IT, programming language is mathematics' little grandson. Similarly to the mathematics it lets little equivocation. Different programming
languages have appeared, and it represents a new dimension.
Informatics, the new ellipse (or circle?) changes our world
