Computer architecture for mapping analog data values to a string correlithm object in a correlithm object processing system

A method for emulating a string correlithm object, comprising:

• generating a string correlithm object comprising a plurality of sub-string correlithm objects, wherein each sub-string correlithm object is adjacent in n-dimensional space to a preceding sub-string correlithm object and a subsequent sub-string correlithm object to form a string;
• receiving a plurality of data values;
• storing a node table, wherein:
• the node table associates sub-string correlithm objects with the data values such that a first sub-string correlithm object is associated with a first data value and a second sub-string correlithm object is associated with a second data value;
• the first sub-string correlithm object is represented by a first n-bit digital word;
• and
• the second sub-string correlithm object is represented by a second n-bit digital word that differs from the first n-bit digital word by a predetermined number of bits;
• receiving a third data value that is between the first data value and the second data value;
• determining a third sub-string correlithm object that is interpolated between the first sub-string correlithm object and the second sub-string correlithm object, by:
• determining a first difference between the third data value and the first data value;
• determining a second difference between the third data value and the second data value;
• and
• interpolating a distance in n-dimensional space between the third sub-string correlithm object and each of the first sub-string correlithm object and the second sub-string correlithm object based on the first difference and the second difference;
• and
• associating the third sub-string correlithm object with the third data value;
• wherein the distance in n-dimensional space is represented by a number of bits that are fewer than the predetermined number of bits;
• and
• wherein interpolating the distance in n-dimensional space further comprises:
• copying the n-bit digital word of the first sub-string correlithm object into the third sub-string correlithm object;
• starting from one end of the n-bit digital word of the first sub-string correlithm object, identifying the first bit that is different between the first sub-string correlithm object and the second sub-string correlithm object;
• changing that first bit from a zero value to a one value or from a one value to a zero value in the corresponding bit of the third sub-string correlithm object;
• continuing from the same end of the n-bit digital word of the first sub-string correlithm object, identifying the next bit that is different between the first sub-string correlithm object and the second sub-string correlithm object;
• and
• changing that next bit from a zero value to a one value or from a one value to a zero value in the corresponding bit of the third sub-string correlithm object.

A computer program comprising executable instructions stored in a non-transitory computer readable medium that when executed by a processor causes the processor to emulate a string correlithm object generator in a correlithm object processing system configured to:

• receive a plurality of data values;
• store a node table, wherein:
• the node table associates sub-string correlithm objects with the data values such that a first sub-string correlithm object is associated with a first data value and a second sub-string correlithm object is associated with a second data value;
• the first sub-string correlithm object is represented by a first n-bit digital word;
• and
• the second sub-string correlithm object is represented by a second n-bit digital word that differs from the first n-bit digital word by a predetermined number of bits;
• receive a third data value that is between the first data value and the second data value;
• determine a third sub-string correlithm object that is interpolated between the first sub-string correlithm object and the second sub-string correlithm object, by:
• determinin a first difference between the third data value and the first data value;

• interpolating a distance in n-dimensional space between the third sub-string correlithm object and each of the first sub-string correlithm object and the second sub-string correlithm object based on the first difference and the second difference;
• and
• associate the third sub-string correlithm object with the third data value;
• wherein the distance in n-dimensional space is represented by a number of bits that are fewer than the predetermined number of bits;
