That would be a nice topic for a website: to encapsulate and present the duality present in any number of fields. A major barrier to understanding any new field is being able to strip away the jargon and recast the ideas into a familiar form. One can envisage website, where you tick the field(s) "A" that you want to learn about, tick the field(s) "B" that you already know about, and it recasts field(s) "A" in terms of the terminology of field(s) "B". Make it have a "plug-in" structure, so supporting a new field is a matter of writing a mapping of field specific concepts to a set of "design patterns". Make it open source, so experts can jump in and contribute mappings for a wide variety of fields. Getting fancy, mappings could be written in terms of any two fields (so the expert does not have to learn a set of web-site specific design patterns), and the software could construct a graph to allow conversions between arbitrary fields. |
