This laid the foundations for positional notation and later computing developments. | 1300 | Ramon Llull invented the Lullian Circle: a notional machine for calculating answers to philosophical questions (in this case‚ to do with Christianity) via logical combinatorics. This idea was taken up by Leibniz centuries later‚ and is thus
