The Antikythera mechanism is a 150-100 BC solar system model and the oldest analogue computer known. Not bad.

The mechanism not only calculated interlocking variables, it provided an orientation of thought in relation to the astronomic predicament of its users. Using the ⚙️ enabled its user to think + act in relation to what was revealed through the mechanism’s perspective. https://antikythera.org/planetary-computation

Designing and navigating various contextual arrangements with an enigmatic sense of hope.

Fascinating how the mechanism not only calculated variables but also guided users' thinking in relation to astronomy. The ability to act based on its perspective is truly remarkable. Thanks for sharing this insightful link! 🌌🔩
