奇普（Quipu）绝算不上原始，而且关于它们是否编码了自然语言至今仍有争议。这里有几本好书详细介绍了这些工具到底有多复杂。Gary Urton 写的《Signs of the Inka Khipu》http://utpress.utexas.edu/index.php/books/urtsig 《Signs of the Inka Khipu》详细描述了奇普中使用的二进制编码机制，其中不仅包含相对维度的…
Quipu are hardly primitive and it is still debated as to whether they encoded natural language. Here are a couple of good books that go in to detail on exactly how complex these devices were. Signs of the Inka Khipu by Gary Urton http://utpress.utexas.edu/index.php/books/urtsig Signs of the Inka Khipu goes into detail describing the binary coding mechanisms used in quipu which included not just a dimension of relative…
Gary Urton 的书《Signs of the Inka Khipu: Binary Coding in the Andean Knotted-String Records》[0] 是这个话题绝佳的入门读物。读完之后我才意识到，并不是所有的书写系统都能轻松地用 utf-8 编码，就比如那些 Awesome…
Gary Urton's book, "Signs of the Inka Khipu: Binary Coding in the Andean Knotted-String Records" [0] is a great introduction to this topic. After reading this I was reminded how not all writing systems can easily be encoded in utf-8, à la Awesome…
