Numerical and Alphabetic Systems

It is remarkable how we often take reading, writing and arithmetic for granted.

The ability to encode the most profound of our thought, and to communicate them with such ease, has enabled our civilisation to advance to what it is today - with our ubiquitous and almost magical modern electronic devices, the systems that bring the produce and resources from all over the globe to our doorstep, along with the ability to hand down the very knowledge that sustains this phenomena. These have been made possible with the humble ability to read, write and sustain logical processes.
