Abstract
A variety of applications exploiting the Shapeless language where the geometry of letters is immaterial; their size and proximity deliver their message. These applications span rescue effort, industrial practice, painting, food preparation, authentication of documents, etc. Shapeless language is computer readable and very robust.
Claims9
A system for tracking, finding, monitoring parties in the outdoors, comprised of a balloon inflated by Helium or any other safe light gas, where the balloon is tethered to its user who raises it, to be discovered by rescuers, and where the balloon is marked of all sides with a specific entropic (shapeless) message where two or more colors are painted in a given ratio, and the mixing (entropy) level of the two or more colors is a specific value such that the combination of ratio and degree of entropy identify the so painted surface as a specific written letter of a special alphabet, (the entropic alphabet) and that the painted surface of the balloon can be read from any direction;
- so that the very visible flying balloon will point to the spot where the user of this balloon is to be found, this point may be deep in the forest, lost in the desert, on floating on the high seas, anywhere people move about.
The method in claim 7 where the colors are distinct not similar and applied to foodstuff such that the edible dish is optimized in terms of the ratios between the ingredients and the degree of their mixing, to make the dish as appetizing as possible.
A method to sign printed messages on posters, walls and brochure, by first using a nominal geometric language, then modifying the geometric language with an entropic message of similar colors so that no distinction is visible to the naked eye, but is visible to a camera, and where the entropic message is the hash of the plain message, after it has been encrypted with the private key of the declared author of this message, such that when the camera reads the entropic message it will decrypt it using the pubic key of the author, and compare the decrypted hash to the hash as calculated by the reader of the plain message written with geometric letters, so that upon a match being found, the plain message is considered authenticated as per the identity of its author.
