LSD Inserted Directly Into The Brain

Couldn't resist the name. The video is nicely animated swirly colors and faces. Too bad it is so compressed. I blame the internet.

Does anybody have a clue what I'm talking about? It's a type of data-compression.
A cypher, a code.


Something like this (for text):

There's 127 ASCII characters, each represented by an up-to-8-bit binary number.

So that's 127 right away, to represent 127 common English words.
Next, a two-character ASCII can represent 127 x 127 common English words,
and so forth.

Yes, it needs the whole dictionary per language used. And would also need streamlined, so there's a balance between commonly-used words having the smallest amounts of characters assigned them, but not in a stupid way - so you wouldn't use up the one-character correspondances on lots of one and two letter words.

And could of course have, in its infancy etc, a way of indicating when a word that has no code correspondance has just been sent using the usual, slow, current, methods.

(to separate the code strings, just broadcast a blank packet of some type in between each bunch of letters, or have a character to represent a 'space' in that sense)

And it'd be open source, so you could generate your own correspondances, so the actual transmissions themselves are entirely scrambled - unless who you're sending it to has a copy of the correspondance table in use.


Look - I don't know anybody. If you know people that can get things like this done, then just pass this on to them. I live in a shithole Show Villiage. They all have "brain slugs" here.

The internet is sllloooowwww (well, unless you have at the least a T3 line and something like fibre-to-the-home) because it's not compressed enough, given the wiring & bandwidths used.
What is needed is a compression standard for the data packets themselves; a network card and compression software at each end, sender & reciever, with processor-memory-chipset dedicated to quickly compressing the data into much smaller packets for transmission, then as-quickly uncompressing them once they reach the destination PC.

For those just tuning in for the first time, don't forget this">[link] previously posted video.

it started wityh great interest and surprise, then got lazy i thought with straightforward soundtrack and repetitive algorithms. but the beginning where it seemed like much more attention was being paid messed with my minds.
