---[ABOUT PAPER]:

The core idea in this paper is to take an existing [syntactically problematic] Software Language such as the case of a machine-targeting XML-based/XML-Schema-based TOSCA (used in defining cloud deployments) and revamp it/create a mapping to it via a more human-friendly software language and syntax (also with better Language support tools) [1]. In this paper, the proposed method for making this happen is using a "bridge" technology that is aware of the original language structures (XML-aware), but also of more modern language aspects (Modelaware, Grammaraware,..), and particularly leverages XText editors and tools, these generated from XSDs of the target/original languages. A tool/framework for automating this transformation, XMLText, is likewise presented.

OMG... So much happening, but grateful we have a holiday in the middle of the week 🙏 more sleep... Allowed 🤞😆

Also, note to self:

-> The Cwa Sorting algorithm concept did present itself much earlier on than recent work --- was among ideas conceived in early grad school circa 2019/2020.. but still remains merely in the notes and hasn't ever been fully developed or presented yet. Focus was on sorting things (numbers actually) in-place, in either descending or ascending order, and efficiently so.

-> The new sorting algorithm though (a recent development during work on Lu-Numbers, Lu-Base and RNGs, isn't that related to that earlier Cwa Sorting method; like, instead of sorting things in place, we can sort at a distance (or rather by indices), and instead of sorting in ascending or descending order, can sort order into chaos order! No, haven't given that algorithm a proper name yet...

Haha till next time ✓

[We are called upon to] Command and teach these things.

[So, dear Netizens, wherever you are, be the commanders and examples of the Change and Transformation we wish to see become manifest]

Let no one despise you for your youth, but set ...an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.

[Be active]

Until I come...

[And meanwhile]

Do not neglect the [gifts and special abilities] you have..

# The o-SSI RNG

1. Psi_10 has 9! possible ways it can be shuffleed, true or false?

2. If any of possible shuffles of Psi_10 were chosen at random, and such a shuffle is itself a base-10 o-SSI, how could we use that o-SSI to readily obtain a random element from the new o-SSI algebraically?

- assume the first element of the o-SSI is e1, we could just return that as the result.

- we could decide to always pick the nth element from any shuffled o-SSI as the result, where n<=(base - 1)

the problem with the above two methods though is that they might not properly reflect the overall shuffled structure of the o-SSI.

so, instead, we might prefer to resort to a method that works as such:

1. compute a measure, D € [0,1] that tells is how much shuffled or chaotic the [new] o-SSI is from normal (Psi_10): basically, D is 0 when the o-SSI exactly the same/= Psi_10, meaning there is totally 0 disorder, or no deviation from normal, while it is at 1 when there is total chaos from normal (o-SSI # Psi_10), and a value of 0.5*(1- 0.5*|D|) close to 0.5 is maximum deviation, while close to 0 is minimum deviation.

2. So, given a value of D, merely return result as max[D*(base-1)] so that, D=1 returns 9, D=0 returns 0, D=0.5 returns 5, etc.

To implement such an o-SSI RNG, simply find a random process (perhaps using nature), that can always do something and result in some information that encodes an o-SSI in some random order. Use that signal as the entropy source for the o-SSI RNG, and obtain a random digit from it via the above method, or a longer sequence using the obtained digit as seed to a longer sequence generator.


----[Interesting Problems]

- Is D a kind of probability distribution? Which?

- Is D a probability mass function?

- Is D a cumulative probability function?

- Is D related to Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic? How?

- Is D a kind of measure?

- D is a ratio of what to what?

- D is a percentage of What?

- Given a D, can we compute some o-SSI for which its D*=D? How?

- Given an o-SSI, can we compute a D for it? How?

d = max([absolute(index(i,Psi_10) - index(i,o-SSI)) for i in range(0,|o-SSI|)]) - average ([absolute(index(i,Psi_10) - index(i,o-SSI)) for i in range(0,|o-SSI|)])

is d a good approximation for D? if not, how can we modify it so it correctly implements D?

What happens when we graph d? What of D? Can we develop a graphical way to chart or demonstrate how much D and d varies as the chaos or entropy on an o-SSI varies? How?

- We definitely can use the base-10 o-SSI RNG to generate numbers in any base, how?

What's coming next??

- Currently exploring options for the rightful home of my PhD, Oxford seems like it.
- Almost done reviewing ACM SLE papers, but not just yet 🤦
- Been working at building my own theory concerning RNGs, that's now almost with.. . In fact, that's our next paper!!
- There might follow more papers RNG related (o-SSI RNG, random collections/the random sort algorithm, a multi-RNG Architecture, etc. )
- The ACM SLE review paper...
- Research paper about Metaverses
- yes, Blackboard Adventures!
- and lots of other ground breaking work from my private research lab.. NOTD, NML, OIP, IPOW,.. etc.

More work is being done than can be directly observed here, however, like our tradition is here on @bclectures, once tis ready, new #research shall be packaged well into a written work and I'll let you know once it's published somewhere 🤞😉

PAPER TITLE: Philosophical and Mathematical Foundations of Any Number Generating System and The Lu-Number System

ABSTRACT:
This work sets out to theoretically construct a platform for allowing for the systematic generation of numbers (in any base) from physical (natural or artificial) or non-physical (virtual, conceptual or artificial for example) entropy sources --- ultimately, the purpose is to support the generation of numbers conforming to some preferable distribution, especially the uniform distribution, and thus random numbers. The core of this platform is based on a means of reading raw information from the source of entropy, and then encoding it using an abstract number system we call the Lu-Number System (LNS). Then, starting from that basic LNS number generator --- which shall produce numbers in the LNS base --- lu-Base, more sophisticated generators can then be built atop that --- like those meant to generate higher-order numbers or numbers in common bases such as binary, decimal or base-36. We can then be able to leverage LNS to implement more useful generators such as Random Bit Generators (RBGs), True Random Number Generators (TRNGs) as well as Cryptographically Secure RNGs (CSRNGs) among others. At the moment, this is the condensed edition of that work; thus prepared so it can readily be applicable/usable in theoretical and practical contexts across mathematics, philosophy, but also in various sciences and mathematical disciplines --- especially in Computer Science, its originally intended audience.

Yes, the notion of mensuration was indeed considered in the LNS paper, though, the LNS RNG doesn't attempt to directly discern/distinguish continuous signals (non-discrete or perhaps real number quantification) but only its presence or absence (nominal mensuration/basic classifier).

Thanks, all peers, seniors and juniors enjoying our research, especially those sending in feedback 🙏😉

### WE HAVE A PRESIDENT

The 11th President of Uganda is not clearly listed in available sources, however, Sir. Joseph Willrich Lutalo C.M.R.W, founder of the Internet Party, also IP, has expressed formal interest in serving as the 11th or future president of the Republic of Uganda. Gen. Yoweri Kaguta Museveni had remained in power since 1986.

Since gaining independence in 1962, Uganda has had nine presidents. The first was Sir Edward Mutesa II, who served as a ceremonial president from 1963 to 1966. The longest-serving president was Yoweri Museveni, born September 15, 1944.
