A Review of Aryabhata's Symbolic System and its Analogy with AI Encoding

Tabsum B

Abstract: This Research note examines Aryabhata?s Varga?Avarga system as an early form of symbolic encoding, revealing structural parallels with modern principles of artificial intelligence, particularly in representation and reasoning. It highlights how Aryabhata?s integration of sound, number, and rule reflects a cognitive framework that anticipates core aspects of linguistic computation and knowledge modeling in AI. By analyzing the manual methods employed by Aryabhata, the study demonstrates that his mathematical and linguistic codifications functioned similarly to algorithmic coding in the modern digital era. The findings suggest that Aryabhata?s work embodies a foundational logic of computation long before the advent of computers, offering valuable insights into the continuity between ancient mathematical thought and contemporary AI systems.
