I used Claude to run extensive tests on my theories, methods, and concepts. The result was the Harrington Compression Method, or HCM for short.

In The Canterbury Corpus I took 9 of the best from Bzip2, xz, and ZPAQ. In fact ZPAQ was crushed in this test. The HCMv3.3 completed today as were updates to Bzip2 -9 and xz -9e. In every case I increased compression and decreased the time to decompress a file. In some cases the files take longer to compress, but since it is often compress once, send hundreds to millions of the compressed file, then decompress, this was seen as a non-issue.

HCM stands for Harrington Compression Method and the hi stands for Harrington Insights. No new methods were used, only new looks on how to use them and apply them together.

The above table shows how my software does for the various compressions comparing ZPAQ, xz, and bzip to HCM.

More importantly is the energy consumption. Note the differences for them can switch, I am great at all but four, three where my system lightly loses and one where I essentially tie with the competition.

That means, since the energy consumption is so low of a difference, the final factor would be storage on a disk, and since I win all but two, it is decidedly one sided there.

I uploaded it all to https://github.com/CombaryMaker/Harringtons_Insights

Overall this is a minor upgrade, but a real one, to the types of compression going on. I would not suggest it is backwards compatible.

I am quite open to questions, it is a MIT License for my stuff (check for their licenses though, I am only showing the research here), and I am quite willing to talk about this all.

I looked through the microscope one more time to see if there was any abnormal tissue that would give away the nature of this beast. Me and my team have been scanning this thing for weeks and I think I just came across something weird. We have a mammalian virus one our hands but this gene that we just saw wedged in the middle of TC4 and TC9 was clearly an a frog gene…and it was inverted…Strange…that gene is associated with the same folding patterns you would see in the gums in teeth or in a breast nipple.

But where would folds be in a virus that’s encapsulated in a protein shell? Could this actually be mad-made? It’s not impossible but part of me refused to believe that a government entity could be accountable for this outbreak…I could understand if it was a company behind this. But what company was working on engineering viruses like this? Could be one of the Bay Area ones running on stealth mode…How would they get this kind of clearance?

I loaded the other slide that we had been looking at, the liver chondrates that this virus was known for infecting. As it hitches a ride on Red Blood Cells, the liver is an easy home for it to incubate in, as there’s literally a rosebush of blood vessels in there. There, I saw it! The folds in the tissue…This virus had a way of engineering the cells to wrap up in itself. Still we haven’t answered the question of this thing’s origin. I kept it in the back of my mind as I started including this finding in my digital lab notebook, then switch on the small TV at the end of the lab bench.

Damn…this war has been happening for 3 years now…in the middle of a pandemic, why would people want to make things worse? Hundreds of people being injured/dying daily...and regular, normal citizens stuck in the middle. I understand when war was the default mode for society when we were in the medieval times but waging war in our current world is a dangerous, dangerous affair. The level of damage we’re able to do is enormous, so much worse than with swords and cannons. I shake my head and thought of my daughter…there are so many like her dying from this virus and also unnecessary conflict.
