										<h2>Bits Visualized As Color</h2>
										<p>BVAC data storage system</p>
									</header>
									<a href="#" class="image featured">

									</a>
									<h3>Introduction</h3>
									<p>Concept: </br>
									The current version of the BVAC
									system (as of 4/19/21) represents
									every possible combination of binary
									in a file, as color in a photo. For
									example, the current version has the
									ability to represent two bits of
									information for every pixel (We are,
									as of time of writing, making a third
									version, which will enable four bits of
									information to be represented by a
									single pixel), the way we do this is
									quite simple, there are only four
									possible combinations for two bits of
									binary: 1 1, 1 0, 0 1, 0 0. So we have
									four colors represent each possible
									combination of these bits, in our case,
									red represents 0 1, blue represents 1 0,
									black represents 1 1, and white
									represents 0 0. We then tell the wallets
									of our blockchains to write to a .jpg
									according to an array which can be
									located in fractal/fractalbvac.cpp</p>
									<h3>Evolution</h3>
									<p>VERSION 3
									Version Three of this system will involve storing four bits of information per pixel, as
									some of you reading this may know, the formula for how many possible combinations
									for an amount of bits, X, is equal to 2^X. For example, say we want to store 1 byte (8
									bits) per pixel, the equation for how many possible combinations, and by extension how
									many colors we’d need, is 2^8, which equals 256, so we’d need 256 colors to be able to
									represent 1 byte per pixel. The reason as to why this is such a challenge for us will be
									discussed in “Challenges”. Though it is quite difficult to represent 8 bits per pixel, 4 - 6
									bits is perfectly within our limit. How we do this, is by utilizing RGBA values in place
									of regular RGB. By setting the absolute value of an alpha value to either 0 or 1, we then
									double how many colors we can use. For those who don’t know what an alpha value is,
									it’s the transparency of a color on a scale of 0 – 1. So, the possible combinations of
									defined as 2^4 = 16:
									1) 0000
									2) 0001
									3) 0010
									4) 0011
									5) 0100
									6) 0101
									7) 0110
									8) 0111
									9) 1000
									10) 1001
									11) 1010
									12) 1011
									13) 1100
									14) 1101
									15) 1110
 									16) 1111
									We then simply assign an RGB value to half of these with their alpha value being 0,
									then assign the other half with the exact same RGB values, but with an alpha value of 1.</p>
									<h3>Challenges</h3>
									<p>
									The main challenge that we’ve been
									having to deal with would have to be Blueprint of the third iteration of the BVAC system.
									the loss of pixel information due to the
									compression of .jpg images. As a result, we’ve had to stick to absolute values (either the
									max or minimal value, a value can be) that way it doesn’t get in the way. If we wanted
									to represent six bits of
									information per pixel, then
									we’d have to tie in a “middle
									value” that isn’t the lowest a
									value can be, and not the
									highest a value can be. Then on
									top of that, we’d have to tie in
									alpha values as absolute
									values like we did with
									versions two and three.
									If possible we’d like to use a
									new image format to avoid
									these issues and possible store
									as many color combinations as
									possible to represent as many
									combinations of bits as
									possible. However, it seems the .jpg is the most supported image file format, as a result
									we can’t move to a new image format without the risk of secluding potential members
									of the community.
									Next, we will discuss the limits of the technology.</p>
									<h3>Limits</h3>
									<p>As we have discussed previously, the formula for how many possible combinations for
									an array of binary is defined as:
									2
									𝑥 = 𝑃𝑜𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝐶𝑜𝑚𝑏𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠
									Where x is equal to how many bits of potential information you want to store. So,first we calculate howThere are three values in an RGB value; Red, Green, and Blue. Each has an absolute
									value of 255 and a minimal value of 0. Mathematically, we need to account for the lack
									of color (0) as well, so we use 256 as a “real” interpretation to how many values can be
									contained within each RGB value.
									256 x 256 x 256 = 16,777,216.
									So, we have 16,777,216 possible combinations of RGB values. We then adjust the
									formula accordingly:
									2
									𝑥 = 16,777,216 → 2
									24 = 16,777,216
									We have now proven that the maximum number of bits we can represent is 16,777,216
									without use of Alpha values; However, there are two-hundred-fifty-six possible alpha
									values for every color, so if we wanted to talk about the max limit of the system with
									the inclusion of alpha values, we’d adjust the formula so:
									2
									𝑥 = (256 ∗ 256 ∗ 256)256;
									2
									𝑥 = 4,294,967,296
									𝑥 =
									𝑙𝑛(4,294,967,296)
									𝑙𝑛(2)
									; 𝑥 = 32
									For ease of use, we will limit this to 32 bits per pixel. To put into perspective how dense
									this is, it is 4 bytes per pixel. My resume is 163,840 bits in size (20,480 bytes), we divide
									that by 4 (because we can store 4 bytes per pixel) and we get 5,120… we find the square
									root of that, and we get 71.55 x 71.55, we will round that to 72 pixels. So, all we would
									need is a 72x72 image!
									</p>
									<h3>The Future</h3>
									<p>If one were to first obfuscate or encrypt a data string, convert it to binary, then store it
									into string that gets stored as pixels, not only would you have a compression method,
									but an encrypted, compression method, where the
									data is stored locally in the BVAC code as
									instructions. This has many applications ranging
									from a method of block storage for blockchains for
									additional security (unfortunately, at the probable
									cost of disk space, at least until the consensus grows
									wide enough for this to have any actual effect as a
									compression method) to simply inventorying stuff
									like lab equipment and chemicals. This could also be
									used as a method of machine learning, as one could
									dedicate an AI to crunching and storing information
									as a BVAC code, both accomplishing educating the
									AI, and storing the information it has processed.
									To improve the BVAC system further, one can store
									the resultants of compression algorithms to a BVAC
									code, so that they may improve current compression
									techniques, without having to worry about loss of
									data. </p>
