Mike, I again apologize for my strident and aggressive responses. I honestly do not mean to be disrespectful of the remarks that have been made in this thread.I just have a way of expressing myself which comes across as a little rough at times.
Let me give you an example of something that I just thought about. Suppose I decided to use humongous numbers - maybe a million bits - but with the intention only to use a small part of it at a time for any computation. The bit positions might have some kind of meaning or some directive related to meaning. Then how can I efficiently represent these huge numbers in which only tiny disparate bits are relevant? This becomes a traditional compression problem. So suddenly, just because I am thinking about this in a special way, the impossible part becomes very possible - given that I might be able to come up with algorithms that could effectively work on these compressed numbers without having to decompress them first. This is an interesting thought. What makes it interesting is that I am not limited to some mundane application of a tired method like using vectors mapped onto 3-dimension space using traditional computational arithmetic or something. The freedom of thinking outside the box, even though it will usually be unsuccessful, illuminates whole new vistas.
