Hexlish Alphabet for English, Constructed Languages and Cryptography: Automatic, Structural Compression with a Phonetic Hexadecimal Alphabet

DOI : https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.13139469

Hexlish is a legible, sixteen-letter alphabet for writing the English language and for encoding text as legible base 16 or compressed binary. Texts composed using the alphabet are automatically compressed by exactly fifty percent when converted from Hexlish characters into binary characters. Although technically lossy, this syntactic compression enables recovery of the correct English letters via syntactic reconstruction. The implementer can predict the size of the compressed binary file and the size of the text that will result from decompression. Generally it is intuitive to recognize English alphabet analogues to Hexlish words. This makes Hexlish a legible alternative to the standard hexadecimal alphabet.

I see "greenprint data" at the end of the PDF, but I don't know what greenprint means. Does it have something to do with DOI?

No. It is a document sorting and collation scheme. The designation 'greenprint' means it contains all necessary information for understanding and doing immediate implementation. It is my attempt to nix to disjointed reference materials and information overload.

The ID is just a hash of document data. I haven't published the scheme for that yet because I am designing a purpose-built hash function made specially for it. I haven't had time to finish it up and write a greenprint for it yet.
