 How we used number to read minds four centuries ago Published on Friday 11 november 2011 • Post by Mariano Tomatis • PermalinkThis is the story of a mysterious book. An esoteric book, which keeps a secret. A magical book, because it gives its owner the power to read minds. A forgotten book that seems to come straight from a story by Jorge Luis Borges. Ts’ui Pen must have said once: «I am withdrawing to write a book.» And another time: «I am withdrawing to construct a labyrinth.» Everyone imagined two works; to no one did it occur that the book and the maze were one and the same thing.
