The time system in Nooka watches are universal in the sense that they require no linguistic skills to master. This makes time telling more intuitive. expanding this concept to other projects is easy with a focus on intuitive design, but I felt a need to challenge the accepted norms for math literacy as a side-product of the communication issues presented in that process.

Linguistics of Math Page 002

There is a theory that the reason children in asian cultures assimilate mathematical concepts earlier than their western counterparts is linguistic Inspired by this idea, Matthew Waldman has devised a universal nomenclature for math. Hopefully avoiding the pitfalls of Esperanto, this system borrows from both eastern and western languages. Moreover, this new system is designed to facilitate different base number systems.

The idea stems from the Eastern systematic use of numbers and the ease of educating children with these systems, compared to the western number system which has some counterintuitive parts which cause problems in comparison. Not being a mathematician or a physicist, I welcome anyone to test the concept presented on this page and provide feedback.
