GENERATION OF SERIES OF NUMBERS AND PERMUTATIONS FOR USE IN PSEUDO-RANDOM NUMBER GENERATION, PATTERN RECOGNITION, CODING SYSTEM AND COMPUTING

摘要

A method and apparatus in a data processing system for encoding a data packet. The method and apparatus provide for the generation of data in the form of integers, conversion of the data into a first factorial vector (FVo) in a predetermined range of factorial vectors and defining a series of objects, variables and operators. The data is then mapped to a permutation of objects such that each data packet is mapped to a unique permutation of objects.
