Shannon's Journal Discussion

[dissonance]

However, I just recompressed the script for the prototype, which was becoming challenging to build again. It is now around 82,500 words compressed.

After calculating the compression ratio, I have concluded that you just would not believe me if I told you the WPS of the current compression rate. I apparently have managed to successfully achieve an almost limitless compression ratio, and I did not realize that because last time I calculated it I left out one of the variables.

The question isn't "What is the words per minute?". The question is, "How many words per minute do I want you to get?" And the answer is, "How many words per minute works best?"

There is a technology in 6G scripting that allows for me to compress the script in a way that allows for this nearly infinite compression while the brain and subconscious still can comprehend and execute it. It's like impulse drive (5G) vs. warp (6G). There's no comparison. The only real limit is, "What works best?" and so far I haven't optimized for that, but for me to say that you're effectively getting the amount of words per second that the current 6G script generates would not be realistically something I could expect you to believe if I told you.

Are these compression methods primarily script-based, like leaving out "useless" words and forcing the brain to pattern-match (unlikely, since you've shown much appreciated diligence in updating subs when missing words are pointed out even if they're "useless"), are they audio engineering-based like a modified frequency modulation algorithm, or are they some sort of pipelining mechanism (like singing in a round, so statements literally overlap each other) and there's both frequency and amplitude modulation happening to emphasize particular statements in each overlapping cluster (I'm leaning towards this)?

Having studied computer science and data compression/decompression (where it's essentially limited by the units used and the compression "dictionary" employed), I'm going to play devil's advocate for a minute and say it's either unlikely or at the very least an exaggeration to say whatever technology you've discovered allows "nearly infinite" compression AND is still comprehensible by the subconscious, even if the subconscious can theoretically operate at the speed of thought. Instead of the previous 416.67 WPS number, I'm actually going to be a bit more generous and say 441 WPS for convenience for the following hypothetical - 441 WPS equates to each word averaging 100/44100th of a second in length (i.e. in a standard digital sampling rate of 44100 Hz, each word averages 100 samples in length). Once you get shorter in the same sampling rate (let's say lower than 50 samples in length), it becomes less likely to be comprehensible (like visual animation is noticeably smoother at 60 Hz than 30 Hz, and nearly imperceptibly smoother at 120 Hz, but any higher than 120 Hz and the added frames are essentially unnoticed, and lower than 30 Hz one can clearly see each individual frame). Even if you start at a higher sampling rate like 48000 Hz, downsampling to 44100 Hz will lose sample information (equivalent to losing fidelity and/or audio "precision").

Can the subconscious usefully recognize differences in words shorter than 100/44100th of a second in length? As you can see, for the moment I'm more interested in the technological/audio engineering aspects of making 6G happen than the psychological/script-based aspects, but I'm certainly excited to learn about the latter down the line!

For the future, I'm curious to know if switching to a 48000 Hz sampling rate for retail products would allow a technological advancement at the expense of requiring hardware capable of playing 48 kHz audio.

I'll tell you this. I am using five different types of compression.

I'll also say that what you say is true, if those were my limits. However, I am operating far and above the limits of the things you mentioned, which is part of why I am using five different compression methods instead of one.

Beyond that, I have to keep my mouth shut. I'd love to tell you, and you'd be fascinated and probably astonished to hear it. And it would make me feel smart and special and awesome... But I can't. It is for the best for all of us that exactly how I have accomplished the things I have remain trade secret.

Switching to a higher sample rate will never be necessary. I have accomplished all of this using 44.1 kHz as my standard sample rate. Remember: safe, USEFUL, effective. To be useful, it has to be easily used, and therefore, standard formats, etc. are preferred. And so far, I am working well with them.

I was actually going to ask the same question as well, lol.

So to clarify, one method of compression is speeding up the "talking" of the script, which would be limited by the sample rate, and the mechanics of how samples work. And there are four?! other methods, that are not speeding up the audio? haha wow awesome. You truly are a genius at this, lol. I'm so glad I discovered your subs... I feel like I'm one of the lucky few who have this secret weapon that no one else has. Just trying to imagine if everyone else in the world used these subs... the world would be so different.
