  The digital age introduced the Digital Ecological Niche (DEN),
revolutionizing human interactions. The advent of Digital History (DHy) has
marked a methodological shift in historical studies, tracing its roots to
Babbage and Lovelace's 19th-century work on "coding" as a foundational
communication process, fostering a new interaction paradigm between humans and
machines, termed "person2persons2machines." This evolution, through
digitization and informatization, builds upon ancient coding practices but was
significantly advanced by Babbage and Lovelace's contributions to mathematical
linguistic systems, laying the groundwork for Computer Science. This field,
central to 20th-century mainframe interaction through programming languages and
formalization, situates Digital History within a broader historical context.
Here, coding and mathematical methodologies empower historians with advanced
technologies for historical data preservation and analysis. Nonetheless, the
extent to which computation and Turing machines can fully understand and
interpret history remains a subject of debate.
