The starting point must always be what human kind can see, hear, touch, taste, or smell, and in practice the world both of individual and the culture to wich he or she belong is difined. Ofer whell mingly, by sight sound.
The one adjunct with distringuishes homo sapiens from all other species is the power of speech. What ever achievement have been noted or instilled by science in members of other species we may take it that is speech. In any form use full for science, is uniquely human In the long run. The power of speech over comes all the limitations on the range of what can be precived by the sense, wht is more, as the Rusian physicologist L.S.Vuygotsky (186-1934) showed in his classic Thought and

Hardli reach the sage at wich children thought begins to develope the adult demonstrated by Vygostky. These pampered premates give a new twist to the meaning of term educationally subnormal. Forhuman kind, what is remembered is just as important as what is precived. An indifidualy.
Sciece as we know it is in conceivable without writing. Althought a system of graphic symbols must under lie any devinition writing only became usefully as scientific tool. When it became capable of conveying any and all trouht. And the relates is inescapabely to spoken language. The relation is in every case specific with he above devinition.
There is no possibility of an all embracing universal system of writing wich can be used for any spoken language. The time has come to ask what were the recurles usefull to science of the literate cultures that had special a cross the middle east and the mediteranian littoral by the year 1000 bc and in the end as scientist (384-322)
