The text is also useful in that it provides a more precise (although specialized) definition of the concept: any cognitive situation in which the threat of inconsistency confronts us (1).
Cuneiform script is one of the earliest known forms of written expression. Emerging in Sumer around the 3,000 B.C, with predecessors reaching into the late 4th millennium (the Uruk IV period), cuneiform writing began as a system of pictographs.he VinÄa symbols, or signs, also known as the VinÄa alphabet, VinÄa-TurdaÅ script, or Old European script, are a set of symbols found on prehistoric artifacts from southeastern Europe. A few scholars believe they constitute a writing system of the VinÄa culture.
Cuneiform was invented by the Sumerians, who lived in what is now southern, relatively coastal Iraq between about 10,000 and 4,000 years ago. It was first used to write Sumerian, and later Akkadian and a number of other languages. Although other writing systems were developed independently in China and by the Mayans, cuneiform is the oldest attested writing system, and evidence of any older writing systems has either not been discovered or not survived.
