Can humans learn to read and write, with high facility, a language consisting entirely of numbers? At first, we consider a transliteration of English, reducing all letters, punctuation, whitespace, and font changes to a series of numeric codes.
Somewhat equivalently, a language with a very small written alphabet.
Inspired by the unwieldiness of text input and output especially for mobile devices. Compare the electronic complexity of a seven-segment numeric display versus a pixel display. Instead of adapting technology to human customs, adapt humans to technology.
