Prometheus/Pandora's Box

Step 8 Here's where - I spill the beans.

Regarding my own interest in this project:
1.It began in my youth when I assumed a "synthesizer"
was a radio-like computer that CREATED endless music.
2.It is a rainman-like interpretation of remnants of
ancient knowledge, involving patterns and meanings
seen in it. This instructable is a deliberately
simplified unit. Some of the names given to it are
arbitratry and also seem to be censored.
3.Around 1980 it was first called a "synthesizer" and
later called "intergalactic radio" or something similar.
4.It is now interesting as a source of all sound,
possible in the past or future, the set of all sound
having been calculated to be absolutely and reasonably
FINITE. (!!!) :) And not only sound but the set of
all things knowable as "information".

But a simple free source of sounds is obviously more
useful than it was at the beginning of this technology.

Many simple arithmetic, logic, analogical, and mechanical
methods have been found in the research involved.

This instructable is a demonstration of a technology which
is as hard to understand and believe as the use of the internet
as it is today, if it were described to the public in 1974,
as in fact it was -
in Ted Nelson's book COMPUTER LIB/DREAM MACHINES.

No claims are made that...
The schematic(s) provided for making the
instructable project will be useful
for synthesizing "all human knowledge"
as the unnamed general project in progress aims
to do with technology of similarly low complexity.

The current state of the project allows searching
intangible mathematical spaces such as fractals
for data. The significant functions are:

1.Find known data. Similar to "recording" or "storage"
except the data wa already there before I composed it
and searched for it (in the fractal).
2.Retrieve Data. Instantly recall the data found for
"storage" purposes previously in Function 1.
3.Retrieve Data indexed by "Time". This is equivalent
to streaming from an intangible hard drive.
