Topic: I am actually a patented inventor now, for real.
I am announcing my creation, a 3 part invention pertaining to a Solid Physical Drive. Physical as in it is made up of small parts, not electronic in manner, but in shapes, colors, and the absence of physical parts (Called Scaling, see below)
After much research I have concluded that a Physical Drive using Colors, Shapes, and a 2 function aspect I call Scaling will greatly increase how much data can be stored in a given inch². It not only represents a means of storage in a smaller space but has strong encryption qualities. Finally it represents a means to replace existing Long-Term storage with a far more stable format.
The theories behind what I do shall be obvious to experts, when they see it. But let me try to describe it for laymen. I take a set of data and make a 3d (or 1d excepting less storage) representation of it. Via Scaling I can change the X axis, the Y axis, or the Z axis to certain extents to change the total possible outcomes. I can also exclude some portions entirely, leaving “Empty spots”.
Adding Colors, which by the way the Human Eye can see 10,000,000 of, we can vastly increase our pool. Colors are very small in size, smaller than the “Pits” in current magnetic based hard-drives. Memory currently takes up a space of about 2.4 microns by 2.1 microns. The visible light spectrum is approximately 400 to 700 nanometers in size. This is .4 to .7 Microns. Light currently affords a far greater potential memory density than standard magnetic memory. However 3D printing is not quite to that point, but we can easily squeeze in about an extra 10% in storage with just light alone at our current tech.
However this Scaling method is not done. Scaling in my invention also allows “empty spots” as defined above. A standard Pascals Triangle will be useful for math here. You can take a given line of binary, and then do the following:
First is the whole of the normal values, if 10 bits, then we have 1024 outcomes. Then we move to 9 bits and take one from the 10 bits. This is 9 bits with 10 possible variations. This is (2^9)*10. Next we move to 8 bits with 45 possible variations. This is (2^8)*45. Next 7 bits with 120 variations (2^7)*120 and then we go on for (2^6)*210, (2^5)*252, (2^4)*210, (2^3)*120, (2^2)*45 and (2^1)*10. We get 58,024 total outcomes or 15.824 (rounded) bits.
We can also just see the empty spots as spacers. Spacing out a sequence of 1mb would mean seeing it increase in size, but the addition of spacers would mean more potential outcomes. This would mean we would have a much larger effective memory size.
More so, we can turn 3D structures into 2D structures by just partitioning the layers separately. This means we can utilize shapes, scaling, and color into standard binary without due issue.
In a physical format we also find that shapes are detectable at very small sizes. For some technical reasons (We need to keep our detector reasonably small) we should keep this near the size of color. Shapes is a way to encode higher amounts of data as well as provide some unusually robust encryption capabilities. In fact the combined whole (Shapes, Colors, Scaling) makes encoded Gigabytes so astronomically huge in complexity that a hacker would need more “known” pages to be printed with the exact same method than has been printed in the entirety of humanity. In short perfect and uncrackable encryption.
Now to return to scaling for a moment. The X, Y, and Z axis can be modified as I stated. This represents a huge modifier. For instance in 5 bits alone there is in excess of 132 possible layouts. (sorry I was very tired while writing this, I know it has to be more, but I cannot formulate all possible layouts with how tired I am (to damned excited!!)). Now there is some 'issues' with 5 bits having “empty spots” if there is this scaling. We cannot possibly get all the different layouts of empty spots due to the inability to tell where they would be. This issue is greatly reduced at larger bit chain lengths. However it would be possible to just run all versions of 4 bits, 3 bits, and 2 bits. In practice it is probably not likely that such small chain lengths will be used, but instead we will see something like a megabyte reduced to as low as half a megabyte for total 'spots' for making something near 2 megabytes in total outcomes.
I also have included in my invention a means to 'subdivide' sections which allows us a greater flexibility in total drive design. Since we can render this into a 2D format this is just a way to make a series of different drives work in line without any serious increases in costs.
Now this physical drive will result in some interesting outcomes. I believe that our human mind is based upon this sort of 'physical drive formation' except that it uses far more 'empty space' and the structures are far more unique. In this case however our drives could be long, wide, or tall compared to an average drive, but will see significant size reductions in general. Simply put we use far less space to store the data, and therefore also we will see weight savings in all probability.
While some unique shapes will happen this will not greatly affect storage as each drive will probably be enclosed in a structure which will allow it to be bar-coded or otherwise identified for use as needed. Not all set ups however will require dramatic size modifications, for instance if converted to a 2D or if it is arranged to have 'white space' via usage of a color (or colors) stretching it to conform to a standardized size.
Amazingly my system can be fully integrated with a number of storage mediums. Take the standard hard drive with the “magnetic pits” they have. On a terabyte drive remove 10 bits or less in specific order, and now you have a potential huge hard-coded drive in addition to your standard magnetic drive. And the difference is fully detectable with everything standard to current drives.
Even theoretical drives such as the Race Track memory (IBM) or Memristor (HP) can be subjected to my system for improved memory capacity (hard-coded). Not only that but Scaling has implications in transmitted data where multiple transmission sources are used or simulated in use.
The upsides is dramatically increased memory capacity, reduced total weight and space requirement's, and ultimately I think GREATLY reduced costs. Add to this long-term storage capabilities, incredible encryption levels, and the ability to add hard-coded data to existing storage mediums.
The downsides include long read times, non-existent write times (up until the ability to recycle the drives is perfected, a 3D recycler?) after the first printing, and possibly large storage requirements if converted to electronic binary.
Potential customers however abound. Banks store financial records for a very long time, as do law firms, security companies, securities companies, financial institutions in general, Governments, Hospitals, and more. Data storage is an expensive field, with typically high power requirements. My method only requires power when the drive is being read. This invention, conservatively, could be worth in excess of many billions of dollars. I won't see that much of course, but I should still see quite a pretty penny.

Avogardo and Noir ignored by me for life so people know why I do not respond to them. (Informational)
