Abstract: — The next leap forward in Internet performance
is expected to come from a combination of better search engines, higher
bit-rate channels, and more mobile computing. However, there could also be an
easier way to improve the Internet. The Autosophy information theory, first
developed in 1974, has the potential to radically transform all Internet
communications. Autosophy techniques are already widely used on the Internet;
for example, in the GIF and TIF standards for lossless still-image compression
and in the V.42bis data compression standard found in virtually all modems.
Those early applications are rapidly being superseded by more advanced
algorithms. A television system based on the Autosophy information theory has
recently been demonstrated. Applications include High Definition Television,
movies, and teleconferencing over the Internet. Preliminary software
simulations show the way to extremely high lossless video compression.
Compression ratios are dependent only on the video content, i.e., motion and
complexity within the images. Autosophy communication protocols are especially
suited to the packet-switching Internet environment, being highly immune to the
Internet’s current Quality of Service (QoS) problems. Packet latencies, dropped
packets, unpredictable bit-rates, and insecure networks may all cease to be
significant issues. The practical transmission of video and synchronized sound
over unpredictable channels like the Internet may even require the use of
Autosophy protocols. The new techniques also yield a hardware-independent
protocol that can mix all different data types (including video, still images,
sound, text, and random bit files) in the same packet stream. Other
applications of the Autosophy information theory include self-learning
databases with the potential to replace the programmed data processing
computer.
