Universal data formats for the Internet

Data-content 64bit codes can make all future communications compatible.

Application ready for use

Abstract: An international communications format and protocol could make all future communications compatible to serve as the backbone of the future Information Superhighway. This would involve defining the precise data formats in a document to be ratified by an international standard setting committee. Issues to be resolved would include: clustering of transmission (cluster of clusters or packets of packets); encryption security (growing private encryption libraries including “generic” libraries for open, non encrypted, communications); recovery from transmission errors (by natural or malicious attacks); mixing multimedia codes (live video with synchronized live sound, still images, text, and random bit files); indexing (avoiding the Quality of Service problems); merging variable speed networks (including fixed bandwidth and packet switching); and flexibility for allowing evolution in future standards.

Applications: A new communications standard, using Autosophy methods, could cause orders of magnitude increase in the Internet’s throughputs and security. A new International standard, ratified by the United Nations, could make all future communications compatible. No transmission or data record would ever become incompatible because of further evolution in the “hardware” or in the communications infrastructure.

Keywords: Universal data standard, Autosophy, Information theory, Multimedia, Internet communication, Data compression, Information security.
