One of the concepts I have been thinking about for an education system is based on this triad:

- Symbol (mathematical languages / abstract interfaces)

- Human (natural languages / human-human interfaces)

- Machine (programming languages / human-computer interfaces)

Any particular subject or area of study is taught and learned using all 3 approaches taken together. Used as a foundational educational framework, this system could have potential to help cross discipline study through the assimilation of fundamental aspects of computer science, cognitive science, linguistics, and math into other fields. This also allows people to skip learning these topics as unpleasant prerequisites, which may not be well integrated with their field's particular goals.

Existing universities and schools will not be able to transition to these sorts of new holistic systems. Entirely new systems based on modern first principles must be created for the future of education.
