Pentapolar Representation

Summary

Pentapolar representation is a representation of the world as a pentapole. A pentapole can by any of the following:

1. an absorber
2. absorbtion
3. a listener
4. listening
5. an executor
6. execution
7. a mediator
8. mediation
9. a radiator
10. radiaton

Information Flow

Information flows from the absorber to the radiator. The absorber absorbs information from the environment. The radiator radiates information to the environment. The listener listens to the environment. The executor executes information. The mediator mediates between the absorber and the radiator.

Absorber --> Listener --> Executor --> Mediator --> Radiator

Absorber --> Absorption --> Listener --> Listening --> Executor --> Execution --> Mediator --> Mediation --> Radiator --> Radiation

The absorber is the monopole that absorbs energy from the environment.
The listener is the monopole that listens to the environment.

Tripoles are environments

Tripoles are environments composed of other environments. The specific values of any object in each environment is opaque to the other environments and only visible as the emergent properties of the environment. This allows for the creation of complex environments that are composed of other environments.

explanation of the code

the above code implements a computer which represents all elements in its universe as pentapolar systems - systems of five poles. the poles are: absorber, listener, executor, mediator, and radiator. the absorber absorbs information, the listener listens to information, the executor executes information, the mediator mediates information, and the radiator radiates information. a pole is an environment, which is a class that contains local informations and global information. local informations are information that is local to the pole. global information is the information that is global to the pole. a pole also contains a parent environment. a pole has a local information that is the global information of the pole, and the pole contains local informations. the pole's local informations are the local informations of the pole's parent environment. the pole's local information is the global information of the pole's parent environment etc.

Pole Class

the pole class is the basic computational unit of the computer. the pole class is an environment, which is a class (hence is a recursive data structure) that contains local informations and global information. local informations are information that is local to the pole. global information is the information that is global to the pole. a pole also contains a parent environment etc. How each of the poles are oriented in relation to each other determines the computational power of the computer. Each of the poles are oriented in relation to each other in a way that determines the computational power of the computer, as well as determines how local information is processed. Each pole stores its orientation using a Vector3. The pole's orientation is the direction that the pole is oriented in relation to the pole's parent environment. Some common orientations include:

pole orientation to absorber data

Common Pole Orientations

Monopolar Configurations

Monopolar configurations are configurations of one pole. Monopolar configurations are used to represent simple computational tasks. For example, a monopolar configuration of an absorber pole can be used to represent a task such as reading data from a file. Monopolar configurations are also used to represent basic logic operations such as AND and OR. In a monopolar configuration, the pole is oriented in the same direction as the pole's parent environment. Examples of monopoles include:

Monopolar Configurations

Dipolar Configurations

Dipolar configurations represent dipoles, or two poles which are connected to each other. Dipoles are used to represent more complex computations. For example, a dipole of an absorber and a listener can be used to represent a task such as reading data from a file and processing it. Dipoles are also used to represent logic operations such as NAND and NOR. In a dipolar configuration, the poles are oriented in opposite directions in relation to the pole's parent environment. Examples of dipoles include:

Tripolar Configurations

Tripolar configurations are configurations of three poles which are connected to each other. Tripolar configurations are used to represent more complex computations. For example, a tripolar configuration of an absorber, a listener, and an executor can be used to represent a task such as reading data from a file, processing it, and then executing an action based on the data. Tripolar configurations are also used to represent more complex logic operations such as XOR and XNOR. In a tripolar configuration, the poles are oriented in the same direction in relation to the pole's parent environment. Examples of tripoles include:

Multipolar Configurations

Multipolar configurations are configurations of more than three poles. Multipolar configurations are used to represent the most complex computations. For example, a multipolar configuration of an absorber, a listener, an executor, a mediator, and a radiator can be used to represent tasks such as reading data from multiple files, processing it, and then executing multiple actions based on the data. Multipolar configurations are also used to represent the most complex logic operations. In a multipolar configuration, the poles are oriented in different directions in relation to the pole's parent environment. Examples of multipoles include:

Representing Multipoles

Multipole shorthand treats each of the vector3s as a binay numerical representation, concatenating all five values together into a single number. For example:

Absorber - (1, 0, 0), Listener - (1, 0, 1), Executor - (0, 1, 0), Mediator - (0, 0, 1), Radiator - (1, 1, 0) becomes 101 101 010 001 110 becomes 1011010100110 binary which is 5798 decimal, 0x16a6 hex.

This shorthand allows for easy representation of multipoles and their orientations, and is used in the computer's programming language to quickly describe the orientation of a multipole.

Examples

Multipole Shorthand

Multipole shorthand is a shorthand notation used to represent multipoles. Multipole shorthand is used to represent the most complex computations. For example, a multipolar configuration of an absorber, a listener, an executor, a mediator, and a radiator can be used to represent tasks such as reading data from multiple files, processing it, and then executing multiple actions based on the data. Multipolar configurations are also used to represent the most complex logic operations. In a multipolar configuration, the poles are oriented in different directions in relation to the pole's parent environment. Examples of multipoles include:

1. 1011010100110
2. 1011010100110
3. 1011010100111
4. 1011010100110
5. 1011010100110

Representing Multipoles

Multipole shorthand treats each of the vector3s as a binay numerical representation, concatenating all five values together into a single number. For example:

101 101 010 001 110 becomes 1011010100110 binary which is 5798 decimal, 0x16a6 hex.

This shorthand allows for easy representation of multipoles and their orientations, and is used in the computer's programming language to quickly describe the orientation of a multipole.
