adlai: http://www.loper-os.org/?p=1545#reffn:14 << I recommend against attempting to linearize suspected provenance, due to the trivially nonlinear geometry of the globe
adlai: however, picking some reasonable resolution is possible; and I strongly recommend ignoring national affiliations, so that you -- or any other signer who chooses a point-otherthan-infinity for such a signature -- can distinguish between, e.g., langley and utah
adlai floats additional dimension 'haste'
adlai: oughtta be computationally difficult to compute a hasteless signature
adlai: e.g., surgeon attesting that operation was performed under duress
adlai: dpb's suggestion is equivalent by the class of perfect implementation, although leads to plethora of different failure modes
adlai: much value can be found in explicitly designating that the vectored dimensions are non/linear, use 2/1's-complement, and that their magic values signify various operator-significant soggy eggnogs
adlai: ("non/linear, use 2/1's" expands to four different options)
adlai comments -- here, not there, due to... friction, for lack of a better metaphor -- that one byte is excessively modest, and his estimate of reasonable allocation should be enough bits for five heptary dimensions, which is negligible considering the size of your typical vpatch
adlai: five = five, lol ; heptary < nybble ; three bytes
adlai remisses towards group theory text ; goodnight!
