The paper will present a compression algorithm that will allow for both random and non-random sequential binary strings of data to be compressed for storage and transmission of media information. The compression system has direct applications to the storage and transmission of digital media such as movies, television, audio signals and other visual and auditory signals needed for engineering practicalities in such industries.
The paper will introduce a compression algorithm that will use based number systems beyond the fundamental standard of the traditional binary, or radix 2, based system in use today. A greater level of compression is noted in these radix based number systems when compared to the radix 2 base as applied to a sequential strings of various information. The application of this comrpession algorithm to both random and non-random sequences for compression will be reviewed in this paper. The natural sciences and engineering applications will be areas covered in this paper.
The paper will introduce the quaternary, or radix 4, based system for use as a fundamental standard beyond the traditional binary, or radix 2, based system in use today. A greater level compression is noted in the radix 4 based system when compared to the radix 2 base as applied to a model of information theory. The application of this compression algorithm to both DNA and RNA sequences for compression will be reviewed in this paper.

The paper will introduce the quaternary, or radix 4, based system for use as a fundamental standard beyond the
traditional binary, or radix 2, based system in use today. A greater level of compression is noted in the radix 4 based
system when compared to the radix 2 base as applied to a model of information theory.
A radix 2 based system is composed of two separate character types that have no meaning except
not representing the other character type as defmed by Shannon in 1948. The radix 5 based system
employs five separate characters that have no semantic meaning except not representing the other
characters. Traditional literature has a random string of binary sequential characters as being "less
patterned" than non-random sequential strings. A non-random string of characters will be able to
compress, were as a random string of characters will not be able to compress. This study has
found that a radix 5 based character length allows for equal compression of random and non-
random sequential strings. This has important aspects to information transmission and storage.

The implementation of a ternary or quaternary based system to information infrastructure to replace the
archaic binary system. Using a temary or a quaternary based system will add greater robustness,
compression, and utilizability to future information systems.

Because free lasers offer faster transmittal of data than radio frequency, but are less reliable because of cloud cover or fog, a two stage system can be developed using HALE, high altitude long endurance, platforms as a transitional link between space and terrestrial communication nodes. Because HALE platforms will fly above cloud layers, 35,000 feet, such platforms could use either radio frequency or free space lasers for `air' to `ground' transmissions and free lasers for `space' to `air' phase of transmissions. The use of radio frequency or free laser would depend on the type of environment during operations. Vehicles that are remotely operated, solar powered platforms that function at 100,000 feet indefinitely.
Because of the use of radio frequency, free space lasers and wired terrestrial communication systems are often separate, and at times conflicting systems, a proposed unifying system of all three modes of receiving and transmitting will be addressed under the collective title of Tripartite Systems. Because of the vast network of wired terrestrial communication systems in the Western world communications systems of the future will still use wired systems as the backbone of signal transmission for most data. Such a network does have limits, i.e. the need to replace existing copper wire with fiber optics, but with the advent of free space lasers, lasecom systems, that have bit-error rates at acceptable levels for commercial and military applications, along with radio frequency systems, will give wired systems a `complimentary' competition that will improve the overall efficiency of modern communication systems.
