Da Vinci’s Notebooks: Pushing the Limits of Intellectual Pursuit

Hyper-convergence paradigm, Intellectual Property Preserve ::

The complete notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci, as collected by the Project Gutenberg, are now available through Scribd iPaper, a unique new document format that allows for scrolling through book-length documents right on a static web page, without downloading. The service is a great complement to any project aimed at expanding knowledge, the free flow of information, and access to the great ideas of the past, present, and the future in progress.

We include Leonardo’s extraordinary texts here at HotSpring, as part of the foundations of our Intellectual Property Preserve, through which we seek to help creative individuals establish authorship or the provenance of unique theories, while providing the world with access to revolutionary ideas and creative expression. The commons is reborn with universal digital access to da Vinci’s work, and the long hours put in by the team at Project Gutenberg, to ensure that the most resonant classics remain available in all new media.

We will need to learn to think like Leonardo in order to address the biggest challenges of our age, which will entail reaching far beyond the conceptual limits of prevailing paradigms in science, technology and philosophy, to reach the next frontier, and help create a more intelligent, more resilient, more responsible, fair and open, human civilization.
