RBF Definitions
The first industrial tool is really a very interesting one. We have the description: In the Beginning was the Word. So in the beginning of industrialization was the word. Because one man could not invent a word… he’d have no reason to invent it. And it would take a great deal of identification of experience and the sounds for it for him to begin to realize that you’d have something called a ‘word.’ "This was, then, the beginning of the intercommunication of experiences, compounding the experience of the individual. And with the written word you had it from generation to generation. This cumulative experience is a very extraordinary matter “The craft tool was inherently local in time and geography. But the industrial tool was for the total experience of all of humanity that had ever been communicated with one to the other, covering the total sweepout of humans.” Forum
