Excerpt from the Book
Finite State Machine
All finite state machines are time sensitive and discrete in manner and follow a sequence of actions and be predisposed to determinism [9]. The author’s computer system has the following components that satisfy the above mentioned criteria for a finite state machine: an Input, a Reader/Scanner, Storage and an Output.
Chapter Summary
Abstract: Provides an overview of a prototype computer system that uses the summation of like-natured characters in binary strings for efficient storage and decompression.
Introduction: Outlines the author's design based on algorithmic complexity, demonstrating how binary sequences can be compressed into sub-groups to save transmission space.
Foundations: Reviews historical contributions to computation theory, specifically citing Post, Kleene, Minsky, and Shannon as the theoretical basis for the summing engine.
Finite State Machine: Defines the necessary components—Input, Reader/Scanner, Storage, and Output—required for the system to function within discrete, deterministic constraints.
Infinite State Machine: Discusses how the system can be adapted for infinite processes through closed loops and continuous replacement of computing components.
List of Instructions: Details the streamlined instruction set of the system, which consists of only two primary commands: read/scan and de-compression/output.
Universal Qualities: Explores the scalability of the compression method beyond binary to include other radix-based number systems like radix 8, 10, 12, and 16.
Summary: Concludes that the proposed summing engine effectively compresses binary data while maintaining the smallest known set of system instructions.
