The perpetual quest for a truth machine
Briefly

Ramon Llull's vision led to the creation of a logic machine in his work Ars Magna, designed to communicate Christian truths without violence, aiming to prove God's existence.
Llull’s mechanical missionary would converse with readers, offering undeniable truths about the universe and promoting faith through logic instead of bloodshed.
Inspired by the zairja, Llull's device combined fundamental religious concepts like goodness and love, requiring months of study to understand its operations.
Though his machine's complex examples often confused users, Llull’s goal of distilling knowledge into basic principles was a formative idea in the search for truth.
