Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 5

[Determined]

Hi Shannon, I’m considering purchasing LTU6 but I’m wondering how radically different it is from LTU5?

Thanks

The differences will be:

• An upgraded skeleton script.  Might not sound like much, but that is a big deal in this case.  Not only because of what's been added, adjusted and optimized since, but because the "engine" powering LTU6 is tuned much higher in power than the one in LTU5.
  
• A small number of additions to the program.  I had a list of 10 ideas for addition.  1 has made it in; 3 have been rejected because they were too big.  The rest have not yet been checked.  These additions are small because we are extremely close to the absolute limit of what can be added while maintaining a functional program, which should be apparent both by the fact that 3 of the 4 checked so far have been too big, and the 1 that made it in is 1 statement.  I'm also pretty sure one of those not yet checked will not make it in for logistical reasons having nothing to do with the amount of script it represents, but maybe I can find a way to make it work.  What these additions are will be revealed when the description pages are published.
  
• The Core scripts have been upgraded and completely overhauled.  This actually represents a significant step towards 6G, and this Core script was introduced in OF 5.75G.  I did not realize it at the time I scripted OF 5.75G, but it has a huge positive impact on how well the program as a whole works, and as a result, I am making it standard for the skeleton script.
  
• The entire Key script has been upgraded and optimized.  The upgrading is why it's taking so long; each and every statement must be gone through and wherever there is a difference between how I used to create script and how I do now, the difference must be rectified through an addition of appropriate script.  The script is therefore longer, although to help prevent this I have also added some optimizations that reduced the overall script length somewhat.  This part of the job is very tedious, but what is being added is a very major step up in how to get the subconscious to execute.  Something I only came to understand shortly before releasing OF 5.75G. (Yes, it is used in OF 5.75G.)  The optimizations include ways of getting the script to maintain its speed of input while I have had to significantly increase the word count to make the upgrades, and optimizing the grammar in many places to produce better and faster results while also reducing word count.
  
• This version will, of course, be a 6 stage set.  Instead of just hitting you with everything at once, it will prepare you for each step, introduce new concepts over time in a step up fashion and prevent the subconscious from becoming bored with anything.
  

This program is vastly more advanced than LTU5 was.  It will also be significantly more powerful, and much more effective at achieving its goals.  You noticed the difference OF 5.75G brought to the table?  This should be even more than what OF 5.75G did.

Thank you for the detailed response. 

Just clarify, what is the status of UM/OP in the new LTU6?

It was taken down from the product page, will it be new and improved in LTU6?

Thank you
