About Time
Tense or "Time" in Mathematics is irrelevant.
Consider rather, the action that occurred in a given space of time.
The key to mathematics as a spoken language is the
communication and understanding of an idea from one
mind to another mind using pictures.
With this language of pictures and no words,
every culture/language can communicate very complex ideas
via pictures without need of translation!
Even the deaf can communicate their complex thoughts/ideas
using the language of mathematics.
I have constructed some sentences for thought. Remember,
the pictures, I chose to use, myself.
Construct your own and build a "data set" of pictures for
your research.
