The bootstrap will have to teach them enough of the language that the rest can be taught using the language itself. As for the "no other devices", it wouldn't be difficult to scale up the disk. The Long Now disc is 3" and requires 650x magnification; to get the same amount of writing space without magnification, the disc still only needs to be 162.5 feet across (or a 10 foot high wall for 2,000 feet). Figure out the level of magnification these people have access to, and size accordingly. | |
