Codes

Codes are combined to create software programs.

Code List

1. Financial spreadsheet code
2. Signal processing code
3. Statistical analysis code
4. City map code
5. Physiology scan code

Obtained

Codes may be obtained by using Vlad's Decryptonomicon software on an electronic computer or a Positronic computer to decrypt a mangled data plate. The chances of getting the various codes are currently unknown, but are believed to be 20% each.

Another way to obtain codes is to transform a pre-existing code by decrypting it with Vlad's Decryptonomicon software. Unlike the mangled data plate technique, this method is deterministic: it transforms each of the codes into another specific code. The transformation is cyclic: financial spreadsheet code decrypts into signal processing code; signal processing code decrypts into statistical analysis code; statistical analysis code decrypts into city map code; city map code decrypts into physiology scan code; and physiology scan code decrypts into financial spreadsheet code. Thus with some patience any code may be converted into any other.
