Proposal for a new data structure that extremely reduces data sizes for data in which two item types
Have you ever seen the show Silicon Vally? I feel like they came up with a similar idea.

Edit: Because I should likely mention NSFW, but 'aight if you've got something of a wrong sense of humor.

Thank you for your reply to my submission. I regret the Yutube URL you mentioned cannot seen in my environment. I would like to emphasize that the technologies I submitted is not a simple idea but US patent already registered and published. T.Kuwabara- VirileSep 14, 2022Brass Contributor
I went and read the overview, not in its entirety as I'm just kind of checking some notifications and trying to move on to a project. I downloaded the paper to read-at later. Just wanted to say that I had thought similar to 'storage and time' while getting fairly deep into playing with Javascript, specifically in regards to its prototyping (I still have my test scripts around here somewhere) I found that I could, via prototypical inheritance, allow an object to be 'knowledgeable' of and read values from both its 'past' prototypical state to and from its own 'future' states. Future states could reach back to a previous state and read from it. I could write, overwrite, and recall prototype constructors and then recall them from a past state, as well as being able to roll them up and roll them back out again* (I'd figured this out while attempting to convert these objects to valid JSON strings (because, obviously, having so much chained structure disallowed conversion to and from in any normal way). *Can't remember if I was completely successful)
Disclaimer, what looked something like time-like data traversal really might have just been typical proto behavior (have never found a needed to use the behavior in the extent I was playing with then (AngularJS had some issues with the way it handled data flow some while back, did some fairly deep trickery there to patch it for a project but the trickery was only similar in nature the these prior objects, Angular mostly fixed the issue themselves and is not much of a problem any longer).
- I moved on to another project and stored the script. Best to let smarter people handle such things, I'm sure I had no idea what I was doing. 😉 I do always intend to get back to experimenting with the things I play with. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't.

Thank you for your comments.
I understand that you are interesting in the data structures and treatment. I also suppose that it can become very flexible to treat data by using JSON.
My proposed method is aiming to reduce data sizes compared with the conventional method and not to flexibly treat the data including the treatment of states, past state and future state and so on. However, I believe that my proposed method does not prevent the flexible data treatment.
My proposed method is only a basic idea. How to implement the method to the practical system is the future problem. I am searching the partners to install my proposed method to practical systems.
- VirileSep 14, 2022Brass ContributorAwe, that's unfortunate. It is hilarious. You could just search for Silicon Vally and the Middle Out skit.
Thank you for the corrected understanding.
