Random Data

I had an algorithm before (2006-2007) that compresses always at 90% ratio, recursive. Though well thought out to be decodable, I think I had not written a decoder, or maybe yes. The problem with me is that when I have a breakthrough compression algorithm, with full decoder, I think danger from the data storage industry and the Feds, so I delete the compressors and decoders. I even at one time physically destroyed a hard disk for that matter. Not good for Science and Research indeed. 

That was before I decided to write an introductory book on data compression algorithms, finished by 2005 or 2006, but I already forgot the maybe breakthrough algorithms. 

I think John G. Cleary believes in compression of random data--or he was just playing me. 

When I was a child genius, I already co-authored and edited books on advanced subjects, using American or international pseudonyms; books on Calculus, Modern Telecommunications, Artificial Intelligence, etc. 

ROLZ is an "easy to arrive at" idea. As well as Huffman, LZ77/LZW, and PPP/LZP. 

What is hard is arithmetic coding. And Asymmetric Numeral System (ANS) but I was thinking before of compression via complex numbers. And during Star Trek time when we were child geniuses, another used the Towers of Hanoi algorithm for compression! Data compression was easy then we can use any math principle or theorem for compression, and AI. I had an arithmetic coding program before that was converted easily to Huffman coding, showing that they're related. 

Yes, data compression is addictive. To see that your program fully compresses and decompresses to the original file is exhilarating, your adrenaline rushing, especially if you continue to beat your current compression ratio. 

But the compression bug no longer bites me. I stopped coding in 2010 or 2011. 

I rediscovered the ideas behind the PAQ algorithm and BWT in the late 1990s, and was able to solve BWT in the end.

Attempts on universal compression or compression of random data mostly degenerate to LZ77/LZ78 (i.e. enumeration of repeated sequences into number codes), and symbol ranking (or MTF, circular/cyclic buffers). 

Previously, they thought arithmetic coding is the end of it. Now there is ANS. 

Maybe the next compression algorithm will be so simple after all. I still have 2-3 "probably breakthrough" algorithms in mind. 

ZIP File Compression

My memories of the Cold War in the Philippines are a little clearer now. 

I had too much Power during those time; I was the child genius/Wizard deciding for the whole world. 

I started up and planned many what would be billion-dollar tech companies. You know it is too huge a money they made me forget; they stole the companies from me. 

They made me forget by "threatening" to kill me often (fear of death represses memories), "tiring" me, exhausting me by making me produce and produce for them, and the lastly brutal way, they made me forget by "intruding" on my brain with drugs or chemicals, which they did again when I was in grade school. Yes, I have been in worse conditions such as this, torture. It's like killing you indeed if you forget yourself. (I reckon just simple anesthesia "loosens" the connections in the brain and will make you forget.) 

I made the Hollywood movies, e.g., Star Wars, Star Trek, Transformers. Music and movies are mine. They're my "documentary" movies of what I was into that time, more like my diaries. Didn't they tell you it is "inexpensive" to shoot movies in the Philippines? But they were actually "real" events, documentary movies of the Cold War under my grip from here in the Philippines. 

I wanted World Peace. I made the modern US, modern governments, modern Nations. 

When I was remembering this, in College again, I satisfied myself with my memories of my big hand in Computer Science too, and dreamed of data compression programs powerful than PKZIP, the result of which is "The Data Compression Guide" (with no compressors here beating ZIP compression by the way). I think Bill Gates went to me again in College, and Larry Page. 

We decided on the ZIP file format too. It was a cousin of mine who was programming PKZIP. It was like he's the real Phil Katz, or he's co-developer. To my knowledge, I largely programmed ARJ, using others' suggested ideas. I was attached to the Russians that time probably. So my mindset that time was that I can't beat PKZIP compression. Also to my knowledge I programmed GZIP too; (you see it's a "G"). But Jean-loup Gailly was good, I knew. (Now the best file compressors and archivers can be found in Matt Mahoney's "Large Text Compression Benchmark" and encode.su.) 

Note: I have already beaten ZIP this 2000-2008 without the use of arithmetic coding. But I forgot the algorithms. I probably deleted the file compressors again. My bad. I surmise if Google and Microsoft were hacking me that time, they might had seen the said file compressors. Facebook?? 

I still have maybe 2-3 algorithms in my mind for a breakthrough compression algorithm. :-) 

Standards Committee

In the late 1970s Cold War, I was deciding for the whole world from here in the Philippines, my decisions to be followed or  implemented in years to come. I was born in 1975, so I was a young genius/Wizard doing this. I was making Hollywood movies and decided for history too. Everything that happened were decided that time, as approved by me. 

Why me? Because I was also the major song composer for this world, very prolific in composing many many songs, started as a child genius; and I was making the Hollywood movies and took charge of the international Press and Media, hence history. Music is a universal language, so they allowed me. 

I was like the Standards Committee of everything science and technology, starting up tech companies. For the global US, we decided to be NIST, and NSF. I was deciding even for food products, and in medicine and health. They followed me because they wanted to be included in the business companies being started up, or to be leaders of their Nations. I chose the international government leaders, who would be congressmen, senators, or presidents, Hollywood singers and bands and actors and actresses. 

We were the militarily powerful. Hence, I figured much in late 1970s up to the 80s, my decisions being sought and followed. Cold War to me is Star Wars/Star Trek. There were many ships hovering above; (this became sci-fi). Ordinary people were not even allowed to look up at those ships. 

I was Starfleet. Yes, I decided for the Cold War to end immediately. The Cold War officially ended with the Americans leaving their military air bases in the Philippines. 

AntiVirus

When we created the MSDOS Scandisk and Defrag utilities, I said they will learn hard disk programming fundamentals from these utilities that will guide even the designs of future hard disks. But then again, it is now solid-state disks (SSDs). 

I created this CleanMaster cleaner and antivirus app when I was a child genius with an Asian genius woman. She was very good in many fields I think. 

I created/continued AVG again? but my knowledge of antivirus programming was already dwindling then. And maybe, also Avast's. The Avast Antivirus logo actually shows a child's "podship". Antivirus programming must have advanced by now. 

My computer crashed while I was using Gmail, wouldn't power on anymore. The following day, the US government shut down, in January 2018. Why, because I said I made the modern US? 

By my reckoning, there should already be a *pirate* internet signal, or internet layer. And it's VR and it's probably AI. I started suspecting this since starting 2014, I think, when I lived here again in San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan. It should be from others' previous planned implementations. 

Fairview Terraces

Fairview Terraces (FT) is also ours. The previous place was where I left my little brother Felix, and it was snowing that time, with only one house in the property. When it became a modern building, my "cousin Delfa" was "US Vice-President" in this place with respect to functions and authorships. She was expert in flight systems, hoverbikes, podships, etc. She procured or rebuilt the large ships intentionally for the movie "Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith". Later, she was tasked into solar power research and business in the Philippines. The Robinson's Novaliches location and nearby area was Japanese before. 

ShoeMart (SM) is mine, or I co-own it. 
I recall SM Cubao was being contested by my father and a Jores-Naga relative. This SM Cubao building was previously a branch of Central Bank of the Philippines. And the Sy clan would go to me for this SM ownership. A Jores-Naga relative is still connected now, I think, with the Sy family, planning an SM Masbate. SM Fairview is ours. For Auntie Jessie, for the Ramizos. That's why they lived near the place. The vacant property of SM Fairview before was being decided for the Tamayos or Ramizos; they were fighting over this property. Also, for the Tamayos. I remember this building was already built before, and my cousin "Nato" was "architect" for this building. These kinds of buildings were housing areas before, like condominiums, for many, many groups. My Papa Nonong was expert in transparent glass and stainless steel. Well-lit department stores with these two, I said, and modern ceramic and granite tiles. I recall there at previous SM Fairview area where we contemplated and started making the movie "27 Dresses". Star Wars 7-8 also at now Quirino Highway, even some Star Trek Enterprise and Star Trek Voyager TV episodes.

I think I used the name "Henry Tan" for SM ownerships. The building design for SM China was planned to be like SM North EDSA. SM is mine/ours. Well, actually, it's supposed to be the government's. 

We were too advanced already (Star Trek). We're just slowing down the way to War, to live and experience peaceful lives. We were just weakening our adrenaline for war. God bless us all. I wanted World Peace. (I told them before, I'll live in Masbate in the meantime, probably doing amateur astronomy again and signing Master's and PhDs in Mathematics and Physics.) 

The lands in the route to San Jose Del Monte Bulacan were actually owned by the Ramizo's. The roads and main highways were planned and decided to pass thru Ramizo lands and properties, "for government and business purposes." But the Tamayos owned many lands there too, my father and us planning and deciding what would be San Jose Del Monte new main highways.

The hospital (Grace General Hospital) where my father was confined was also planned by me, by us; it should enjoy funding and donations from Wynn Casino which is also mine. It was like we we're readying for hospital emergencies like this when and if we will live here in Bulacan area. 

I remember Wynn Casino is mine from a previous CNN feature I watched. Wynn Palace Macau too. Macau as a casino hub was planned by me. Here in planning Macau casinos, I recall some women auditioning to be Hollywood singers. One such woman is now wife to an uncle of mine, perhaps. 

The Minuyan area was a small airport already. This Northgate area was mine; a "bus company" of mine was here. This was also a military outpost. The front area of Northgate was actually a University of the Philippines Bulacan, as planned. I think Barack (Obama) knows this; this was where he and his cohorts hid and rested for the night. For a time the vicinity of this Northgate area was a modern Korean village, for a movie shoot. 

The Congress building was the Ramizo's "mansion". It was divided into four families. 

When I remembered the projects Trinoma Mall and SM Marikina and texted about it, they'll implement them indeed?! They were following my visions and (city) plans. Or I know or I can perceive what's coming, according to my decades-worth of timetable. 

Duty Free Philippines

It was established for quite a long time that Petron is mine, and Duty Free Philippines. I co-own Shell and Caltex but Petron is mine. The high-performance, "high-octane" fuel formulas were designed by me and the "Aenar" of Star Trek. For Duty Free, I looked like Tom Cruise or Tom Cruise knew about this Duty Free ownership. 

The small oil station companies sprouting now are supposed to be for my philanthropic and charitable Foundation, to fund "scholarships" in Computer Science and Computer Engineering, and Electronics and Communications Engineering. 

SpaceX

We conceptualized SpaceX, when I was a child genius in the late 1970s. I designed rockets and spacecrafts for SpaceX, as with NASA, ESA, CSA, JAXA, etc. We were NASA contractors. 

Elon Musk was here in the Philippines too in the late 70s, on my music composition and movie-making marathon, when I was creating singers and bands, and TV programs for the 80s and 90s. 

I approved the Tesla Motors company (now Tesla Inc.) by Elon, to recognize Nikola Tesla as a top scientist. He would meet me at Quezon Avenue, Q. C. to discuss SpaceX, asking for our designs. Quezon Avenue and nearby locations were supposed to be international airports. I own Tesla and SpaceX with Elon, he knew that. NASA timetable of projects was written by me, starting with the plans of the International Space Station (ISS) being upheld.

We lived in space already, and probably they called me a "space boomer". We were Star Trek/Starfleet. 

I decided to reset NASA space travel timetable. "Moderate, steady pace of NASA science developments," I said.
