ANT 0.3.0.37

Mysql ADO is a little trick there is no transaction server or advanced
interfacing over ADO so you may want to build a transaction system into
your code a simple way of doing this is creating a table to record
the...

After I build the database systems in this code example I experimented
with the possibility of using the i-ching for encryption and
successfully built an agorithm that had two keys. These two keys can be
changed throughout the process as well very quickly so over a tcp/ip
connection you could cycle the formula at a 256bit and higher encryption
cycle.


Anyway here is the installer can be download from
http://www.ep.net.au/ant/ANT.msi and the source code can be downloaded
from http://www.codearchive.com/rate.php?rid=1319&go=0206.

Installing
To install this utility for calculating trigram sequences first you must
download the MSI file from this site. Once you have the MSI file double
click on it to install and the Microsoft Installer will prompt you for
an install directory. Select your install directory this is typically c:
\program files\ANT. *
Download the multipart SFX Archive from the downloads page and then
after all the parts are in the same directory, run the EXE file this
will unpack the MSI file and start the installation process.
Upgrading
To upgrade ANT download the upgrade and install the ANT.EXE file into
your installation directory, this file is to replace the already
existing EXE file.
Associations
The NRT file format is portable and possible to be opened with ANT from
the command line. To associate ANT with the NRT file double click on an
NRT file and this will load the Open With dialogue box.

Step 2:
Now click on the Other command and select the ANT Executable file in
this release it is ant_v0.2.18.exe and will be found in the installation
path (directory that the program is installed into)
Step 3:
Once you have selected the installation path the ANT icon will appear
with the description of the application which is [ANT] - Utility for
calculating trigram sequences.
Step 4:
Make sure you don't select the Always use this program to open these
files, as it will be associated with your explorer anyway in it's right
mouse clicking menu that allows you to Open With. You can of course open
this if you want.
Here is the open with browser that*

Alphanumeric 2 Trigrams (ANT)
Is an application that allows the user (you) to enter in any
alphanumeric sequence and get the correlating Trigram sequence. It could
be a chemical name like OxyPhenethylamine or your name or a Paragraph of
text. You can copy to the clipboard or save to a BMP file, it is simple
to use, no duplication can occur when editing the Comparison matrix. If
you need more features it is simple either email me to have them added
or for the source code just ask me mail it to you and I will. *

It has possibilities of working out chaos theorem, and many other
mathematical equations using Trigrams, based on any form of data entry,
up to 10 layers deep in Trigrams calculatedly.

Provides statistical data on information entered, you can process large
volumes of text.
Also a lattice work system are saved in the registry; for the number and
alpha matrix. if you design one that has a purpose you will be able to
email it to me with a description and the .reg file generated by loading
REGEDIT.EXE which is standard on all i386 platforms and saving the key
'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\Alpha2Hex'. You
do this by selecting the registry key's group and selecting export. You
can reload these files by clicking on the file with the right mouse
button and selecting Merge.
Parsing
The parsing system is simple, it uses a comparative ASCII table
containing a maximum of 64 characters per latticework/matrix. There is
also a numeric ordering table that contains the numeric sequence of the
alphanumeric table, this is called the Hexagram Matrix and can be used
for graphing population and other such statistical charts.
Simulation
When there is no return on carriage return (ASCII code 13) selected it
will plot the best possible cube to display the Trigram sequence.
However when this is selected it will fit what it can on each line.*
This now includes squaring the result into boxes when there is*
Sorry about the size of the file, It is written visual basic version 6.0
and if you are a VB programmer you would know that the installation and
vb run time libraries are not small. *
I am not sure of how many practical application you may have with this
application, it could be used as a system for things like the analysing
data collected form excavation like that of the tombs at Mt. Li, it has
other application as well.. I use the word lattice work to describe each
configurable matrix in the application as a term describe to me in the
TAO of Chaos, by Dr. Katya Walters. (Tao Of Chaos).

Many thanks for you time and I hope you will find this application use
full to decoding some of the Philosophies of language and the I-Ching
hexagram sequence.

Settings FAQ
When space on unsupported character is selected, the program will leave
a space of 1 Trigrams for the place where the character occurs in
sequence. If you have Print Character under Trigrams selected then this
character will appear under the space, if space on unsupported character
is not selected then the unsupported character will not be printed to
the image when Print character under trigram is selected
When new line on carriage return (ascii 13), is selected every time the
new line occurs, it also occurs on the Trigrams image.
When Display Multiple Trigrams layers is selected when a character
occurs on a different layer from the one currently selected in the menu,
it will display this on the Trigrams image under a different shade of
colour.

Well the bots form is now enabled as well, you can duty cycle your
lattices while it is in runtime processing - of course this does not
affect the file key's unless you hit save and close; on the matrix
editor's. And will not change the lattice information while a file is
being examined. Otherwise you can loose file integrity, etc.*

We may add some Laplace Transformation algorithms to the botz section
soon after we decide if creating a data mapping modeller was to naughty.

With the setting remember that sub options do not automatically select
themselves so be careful of how you change your settings.
When Char. Duplication Depth layering is selected this gives you control
over characters occurring on different latticework's/templates. For
example if the letter 'A' appear on layers 1,4,6,8 it will then select
the Trigrams that approximated to the option you select. If you select
Shallow to Deep the Trigram for 'A' will be selected from Layer 1. if
you have selected Deep to Shallow the Trigram will be selected from
layer 8. Best possible Yin or Yang calculates the duplication of a
character in the layering and selected the best trigram from the layers
of occurrence on the bases of the value of Yin and Yang over the layers.
Random Element Chaos will selected an element layer on random from the
corresponding duplication for example if A = on layer 1 and A = on
layer 4 then the random will select and upper and lower element from
these two matches to produce something like .
Best elemental yin or yang is also a duplication layering but unlike the
first option best possible yin which is a calculation based on the
yin/yang of the trigram, this will calculate the best yin or yang of
first the Upper and then the Lower balance of the trigram and then
select the appropriate layer for the element.
Total random acts of Mayhem is a option that is more experimental, it
will locate which layers the character occurs randomly select the layer
for upper and lower then randomly select any element of that layer.
Yantra is a method of colouring a pattern with a triangulation sequence,
these colour bars are not a set width between characters and I have
incorporated a simile type with the formulas displayed on the web as
images. You will notice that the Yantra mode displays each i-ching
hexagram as a nautical flag. The compute similarly to fractals and the
same mathematics apply, I have found a few so overtime they will be
incorporated into the colouring sequences.

Configurable Latticework/Matrix, up to as many templates as you wish to
design. The traditional is the default. For example if you change the
order sequence ie. Swap 1 & 2 in the sequence of characters where the
',' is seen a '-' will appear and vice verse. If you need more templates
programmed in let me know, I understand there are languages with over
3000 character per sequence, so it is possible to hve an a much larger
configuration/comparison chart.



The concept behind the overlay in the Hexagram matrix is to be able to
plot your reoccurring number's then just to overlay with a random spread
of the rest of the existing number range between 1 and 64
Easy to read charts



The NRG File Format
ANT_NRG.release
The NRU file is a binary file containing trigram sequences in Columns.
The ASCII chart is divided into 4 quadrant's each consisting of 64
characters. The quadrant's follow the path of top left, top right,
bottom Left then bottom right in the analyse matrix based on the Numeric
Sequence set for latticework templates. From this it will build an ASCII
comparison chart to create a CIN file from the Export Feature. For
example the trigram on the left would be represented as a stack of
binaries 6 elements deep, would be represented as



0.....
0.....
0.....
0.....
0.....
1.....
Eight of these exact same trigram would appear in byte sequence and each
byte sequence will be reduced to a character and store every layer as
the texture data map format.

00000000.....
00000000.....
00000000.....
00000000.....
00000000.....
10000000.....
The NRG File is a data cube.
It is also an Encryption method based on your existing calculations.
This now also creates a .KEY which can be distributed on floppy disk and
so forth, which contains the ASCII Charts used and the Yin and Yang
balancing measure.
At a latter stage a click response in the ASCII Chart display will be
included where to replot the ASCII chart you simply click on segment and
the chart will replot accordingly.

The NRT File Format
ANT_NRT.Release
The NRT file consists of a layer of Colour, Trigrams elements and Index
to the number of Trigrams. it is in the following format. - This at this
stage is not a true stat's file format, it will display statistics in

From here you can load the NRT saved in the database the topics are tree
view so you can submit projects or books perhaps you are working on in
small sections broken down.*

It doesn't have to be literature you can submit just about anything you
want to. It is up to you

Remember that some entry will not display correctly is the other person
system if they have displaying character underneath selected and the NRT
file in the database is too long.




You can get to this screen by processing some text data and click on the
+ in the bottom right hand corner of the main form.
This allows you to post information to the database as new topics or if
you want to post a sub topic click on the Load Topic List button then
press Set Post as Sub Topic this will set it as a sub topic.
Once you have enter all the data ANT will submit the lattices and the
NRT data to the database to be left retrievable by other clients of the
software.

Here is where you can load the lattices that are saved in the database,
after a few have been submitted I am sure it won't take long to build up
enough to select for Yantra displaying
You can select Save to place it in the Lattice Buffer and change the
colour by clicking on the coloured rectangle in save options.
Careful if you select a lattice from the combo box it will save over
already existing ones.
Part of the idea of having a database system is so we can do a small
study on lattices it is also so you lovely people the client/user is
able to communicate with other users as well as request features and
changes.
I hope to leave this open to your imagination you can post whatever you
feel like into the database and hopefully in a short time we will have a
number of lattices that people can choose from to build there Yantra
configuration, the data map is based on the old family Mandela which
looks like this..
Basically every Trigram (6 elements) which consists of a 3 element
section has two nodes or directions the first and the second.*
This line we can draw from data entered which i have called a data map
it is also known as a time wave (like the Trigram) is also the humble
beings of fractals 5000 years ago in china. It is something that is used
to plot sequences and although a time-wave is only one direction you can
also see that this form of mapping the sequences allows you to overlay
the map and compare direction bias of the information provided by the
data entered.
The Database systems have only been tested on MySQL but I am sure you
will find it will work with other database systems without to much
massaging. You will need to have permission to create a database on the
server, in MySQL this is done with the GRANT command.
The ADO Connection string has variables but they are not needed to
operate the engine, the variables are as follows:
$DRIVER$
Driver that is being used to access the database, specified in the
fields above on page 4 of the settings.

Now there is a data map option after processing some text, this plane is
only 30000twips x 30000twips in size and the data graph starts from the
center of a circle in the middle of the form.
I have built a data mapping modeler into the NRG format that plots the
direction of the data, this can be calculated during the file conversion
or as you have seen in this example the plotting process is done
afterwards, if the option is selected at anytime during the export
function.
There are several options in this process that allow you to plot using
different methods, for example:*
Only Method 1 - Will plot on a N,S,E,W,NE,NW,SE,SW axis

Will track the data path over several sprite objects on the screen,
however by I say version 0.0.2 which should be a first working release
copy I am sure; people will find this avenue of following the paths of
data quite amusing. If any of you can draw a smiley face or something
with the data modeler i would love to have a copy of the NRG file so I
can have a geezer at it my self :-)*
I will release a layer version of the data mapping system in visual
basic however you will not be able to find key's etc. with it as easily
as you could with a line art version that would be buildable in c++

The memory on my system for sprites ran out of room on a 50KB File. this
was at 101 sprite element's at 40x40 pixels.

This tool when configured correctly with the right comparative engines,
probably best done with an AI engine, will be able to do multi-bi-
linguistic translation of text. A bit like the translation devices that
a featured on some Sci-Fi's.*
If you haven't installed this software yet there may be a few files you
have to install to do so. Microsoft have released a new installer suite
and you will need to download the Service Pack for it, simply go to
http://www.microsoft.com/ and search in the downloads section for
'installer' it should be one of the first options that appears. This is
a free download and is only about 1.6mb. You will need to install this
for most new software.

I did find with Visual Basic that for some reason the syntax checking
for the line command which dates back to q-basic is a little buggy, so
when editing this source code it may say that there is a problem with
the LINE statement, what you have to do is shut down the compiler and re
start it... it is intermittent tho so I am not sure when you will run
into this problem. It seems to occur when there is more than 10
instances of this command.

In the matrix editor it was saving all the configuration when you where
finished editing, for some reason this was losing information so I
reduced the 4 lines of code that does this to just 2 and made it so it
only saves the configuration that is being edited this seemed to fix
this problem.

Yantra mode was added this is a colouring sequencer that displays
multiple layers with the trigram, this varies on how much can be fitted
on one hexagram at one time, it will change with the amount of layers it
finds and the size of the hexagram.
