The idea of creating a perfect model for something is very appealing. Having a wiki then be able to accept parameters that use the model to generate "source code" (or whatever) is both noble but idealistic, so here goes...
I created a wiki that creates SVG scribbles (outlines) that represent shorthand, a version called Teeline. I started by creating for the most common English words. This idea expanded to creating outlines for combinations of words and even phonetic components of words.Well, this idea morphed into creating outlines for ANY phonetic component, using the IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Phonetic_Alphabet). The next step is to vocalize the outline. I am trying to match this (developing) Teeline wiki with the Pink Trombone meme you may be familiar with. See https://vimeo.com/359044847. Virtually every dictionary provides the IPA code to clearly nail down the pronunciation of all words. This, of course, is not limited to English. Once I I have a wiki that "translates" scribbles into vocalizations, this can just as easily vocalize in EVERY language, just by grabbing the IPA dictionary entries for any language. This essentially becomes a universal translator for vocalized language, as well as a way to write in a format that myself and a few friends (those of you reading this) can learn to read. So, Charlie, I am not giving up on the philosophic thinking... JWHoneycutt On Friday, March 10, 2023 at 5:16:07 PM UTC-5 Charlie Veniot wrote: > Transpilers come to mind.
