Some civilization count through `talking" the numbers, others by `seeing" them.(Source: Feynman"s story (in "Curious Character"?)). You can try itand see. Counting "1, 2, 3, ...", space you speak "one, two,three", or space you picturing "1", "2", "3"? i say them, butsometimes exercise picturing. Feynman reports that if you speak them,you deserve to read in ~ the exact same time, but may have actually trouble talking. If youpicture them, you have the right to talk, however reading is difficult. Possibly Ishould dig up the Feynman story and also flesh this out as a page? Itwould also be nice to have actually a crosscheck on the concept.Notes:Doables:History: 2003-Feb-03 addressed 2 links. Added this History. Mid 1990"s Created.
