; This file is ungoverned by the Cypherpunks' Anti-License ; Do with it as you will. ; This is to adapt the notation ; introduced at brightidea.com (which is now called "swar schema") ; to the graph representation schema introduced in utgraph.lsp ; http://www.brightidea.com/ob_view_idea.asp?idea_id={9CBDBD6F-BCB9-11D4-9F90-00A0C932F0D2}&bucket_id= ; http://geocities.com/n8chz/utgraph.txt ; http://geocities.com/n8chz/tweak.txt ; this maps the brightidea codes to the numbers ; representing connectivity in the ut graph. ; (graph as upper triangular matrix) ; We introduce what will be termed the "swar schema," ; which is offered as a sort of markup language ; for proximity modeling. ; As with the "maxhi schema," ; (http://geocities.com/n8chz/PubwanWiki/MaxhiSchema.html) ; the swar schema involves sorting objects into five categories. ; The swar schema is also like the maxhi schema ; in that one of the five states represents neutrality, ; with the other four being a cartesian product of pairs. ; The five states of the swar schema are as follows: ; "sa" (strong attraction) ; "sr" (strong repulsion) ; "wa" (weak attraction) ; "wr" (weak repulsion) ; nil (no attractive or repulsive force) ; In the swar/utgraph schema, ; graph vertices represent pubwan virtual objects (PVO's). ; (http://geocities.com/n8chz/pvo.htm) ; Swar entries represent edges of an utgraph, ; which in turn represent attraction or repulsion ; between PVO's. ; In this file, the representation of a swar entry ; is as follows: ; '("pvo1-name" "sa" "pvo2-name") ; indicating that pvo strongly attracts pvo2. ; In the original brightidea article, ; repulsive forces are represented ; by positive numbers, and attractive by negative. ; This reflects the idea that ; the second derivative of distance with ; respect to time is negative if ; two objects are accelerating ; toward each other, and of course ; force is directly proportinal to acceleration. ; Since we are adapting the swar schema ; to a graph theoretic model, ; we will use the convention in graph theory ; of representing adjacency (akin to attraction, no?) with positive numbers. ; Hopefully this will not cause too much confusion. ; Without further adieu, here is our first functional code: (defun swar->adj (swar) (cdr (assoc swar '(("sa" . 1) ("wa" . 1/2) (nil . 0) ("wr" . -1/2) ("sr" . -1)) :test #'string=))) ; Likewise, a whole graph can be represented by a list of swar entries.
