	CHAPTER I
		Cusa also emphasizes the importance of measurement for understanding the natural world, as well as the tenuous nature of rational conclusions in that regard; both of these are indispensable for the development of the modern scientific enterprise.
		Because Cusa comes at the end of the medieval era and the beginning of the modern one he addresses many of the concerns of the modern era, yet is not a part of it; hence he maintains something of an alternate perspective.
		Cusa abandons the precise terminology of the Scholastics and is inclined toward the mystical; he seeks to give an account of something he himself claims to be beyond rational analysis, linguistic expression and human comprehension.

	"Nicholas of Cusa, Alberti and the Architectonics of the Mind"
		It has been noted that this concept resonates singularly with that of Nicholas of Cusa, with whom Alberti shared mutual friendships.
		Nicholas' idea of the architectonic vis of the human mind finds a singular consonance with Alberti's vis compositionis, according to which the artist imitates the divine ars in recomposing the contradictions, irregularities and even monstrosities of the world.
		Neither Nicholas nor Alberti presents the concept of the relationship between the artist and the world around him as something tranquil and objectively given, but rather as a continuing tension.
