| dc.description.abstract | The fundamental concept of the Pythagorean Brotherhood "All things are numbers" could easily be implemented in processing textual data considered not only from a linguistic point of view but also as a quantity of numbers. This Pythagorean tenet combined with another primary idea of antiquity - the stylised representation of objects by cuneiform scripts allows significant data compression using a binary independent medium (paper, music, optical fibers, etc.). Standardised 8x l 3 mesh representation of unsigned integers (up to 1 031 by a single character) illustrates the utilisation of these ideas in data communication and archive databases. A simple GWBASIC program emulates an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) procedure and demonstrates the feasibility of the proposed new technique. | en |
