トーク:aUI

As I am unable to read the Japanese characters, I am copying the original plus adding my edits below. Please have someone translate. I am Andrea Weilgart, born 1958, the daughter of John Weilgart, who extensively learned aUI during his weekly college classes at Luther College, Decorah, Iowa. There are several misunderstandings in this section:

John Weilgart was born in Vienna, Austria in 1913. Influenced by his Jewish mother, a sculptor, and his father, an art historian working at the Imperial Museum Vienna, he began to dream of a "transparent cosmic language" that transcends culture after reading Brad Steiger's science fiction novels. During World War II, he began to imagine a simple, logical language without ambiguity, as a reaction to the intoxicating slogans of the Nazi regime. After World War II, he taught the language to soldiers in the Far East and fought in the Korean War, and came into contact with the Japanese language, which expanded his idea of ​​characters made up of simple elements. In 1979, he announced the artificial language aUI, which consists of 31 basic concepts.

Edit: John Weilgart was born Johann Wolfgang Weixlgärtner in Vienna, Austria in 1913. His Jewish mother was a sculptor, and his father, an art historian who directed the painting gallery of the Imperial Art History Museum in Vienna. As a youth, Weilgart began to dream of a "transparent cosmic language" that would transcend culture. During World War II, he imagined a simple, logical language without ambiguity, as a reaction to the insidious and suggestive slogans of the Nazi regime. During the Korean War, he came into contact with the Japanese language (1950-1952), which expanded his idea of ​​characters made up of simple elements and began designing the language. In 1979, he published the fourth edition of the aUI textbook, the Language of Space, which consists of 31 basic concepts (semantic primes) plus the number elements 0-10.
