Programming bored him: more strings of symbols that seemed unnecessarily obfuscatory.
Arithmetic coding encodes strings of symbols as ranges of real numbers and achieves more nearly optimal codes.
Those strings of symbols seem to have been in widespread use 30,000 years ago, as modern humans spread through Europe, having finally seen off the Neanderthals.
These computational methods entailed the creation of increasingly sophisticated techniques for the comparison of strings of symbols that benefited from the formal study of algorithms and the study of dynamic programming in particular.
The person in the room, using the manual, acts as a kind of computer program, transforming one string of symbols introduced as "input" into another string of symbols issued as "output".
This converts it into an obscure string of symbols, or a "hash", that offers no clue as to the original input.
Ciphers, as in the case of codes, also replace a piece of information (an element of the plaintext that may consist of a letter, word, or string of symbols) with another object.
Being a terminologist, I care about word choice. Ludwig simply helps me pick the best words for any translation. Five stars!
