In light of the recent posts...
Yes this has nothing to do with Rebol in the
strictest sense.
Mea Culpa.
Regarding this whole interleaving
debate might I submit that I never intended
to seed a thread around the validity of interleaving as an optimal method of
performing complex and or seamless geospatial calculations. But while I'm here
and the thread is active I'll mention that I just needed some Rebol code to
explore the concept on a practical and or intellectual level. The method I
described is only one variation on this theme, as some of you
illustrated by recasting it in different forms. What I described was
actually a bastard child from a specific method involving binary interleaving
along with some other features that I could not possibly explain off the top of
my head without the original source material. I truncated the method description
intentionally for the sake of being able to pose my real request for Rebol
parsing methods. And yes the method does break down across boundaries and goes
for a tilt in a big way at the poles. In the absence of higher level support the
concept fails in a variety of ways that make it a poor contender for
a fully functioning GIS. Do not attempt to do anything more serious
than a napkin sketch of this method without the supervision of an adult or
perhaps an attending physician unless you wish to go numerically mad with
something akin to a division by zero.
Thanks for the feedback, it was most enlightening
and informative.
Sincerely,
Jim
