Recruitment, localization, and a new oral tradition
These three interlocking proposals reinforce each other.
Recruitment, localization, and a new oral tradition
The Citizendium is about bringing together different teachers and learners to enable them to communicate with each other, exchange their roles, to produce a coherent discourse that subsumes subspecialities and common assumptions.
Hyperlinks, in Citizendium, must allow transdisciplinary learning; each article should meet the extraordinary challenge of being accessible to all citizens, a feat only achievable through ample, concerted, horizontal communication between articles.
Localization, recruitment, and a new oral tradition
What is the difference between inter-language translation and knowledge translation?
According to several thinkers in neurocognitive sciences, knowledge proceeds through embodied simulation, a process taking place in several neural assemblies that behave similarly whether the person is performing and action, an utterance, a meaningful gesture and when this person watches, listens or imagines (with the help of some external cues) another person doing the same. These neural assemblies are called mirror neurons, and in some cases echo neurons and empathy neurons).[1] Against the solipsistic tendencies of the Western philosophic tradition, thinkers interested in the mirror neurons system argue that the innate ability of humans and primates to stage oneself and others underlie learning; the amazing ability of neonates to mimic adult's gestures, showed by Meltzoff in the early '70s, explains how each personal experience of meaning, is translated from one to the other.
Mirror neurons are the Rosetta stone of communication. Brain areas devoted to tool manipulation, in primates (including humans) and areas devoted to language overlap.[2]
