Beast Number Factor Project Codes

BNF Code References

Following are descriptions and comments relating to the 60 total code sets employed in the Beast Number Factor (BNF) program. They are grouped in four groups according to their root basis -- Computer Codes, English Alphabet, Miscellaneous, and Trans-lingual. Actual calculations equaling 666 and ratios by code set are shown at the end of each section.

Computer Code Sets

Although in many ways the most natural way of "computing the number of the beast", computer code sets don't seem to get much mention amongst the internet theorists on the beast number. These are the standards by which values are assigned to input characters (alpha, numeric, symbols) for the sake of interfacing with programs and other computers. As truly objective standards, these codes are obviously one of most viable ways of numerically calculating the number of a name when no particular way is specified, and, thus, are perfectly suited to these purposes.

Variations and Factors

There are numerous code sets existing for various purposes, though the most commonly used are ASCII³ and Unicode, which includes the ASCII values plus thousands of others covering most other language and alphabets of the world (including over 20,000 Chinese symbols). Included in the BNF calculations are the ASCII codes plus another lesser known set called EBCDIC³ that is primarily used in mainframe applications. Both are calculated six ways in order to account for variations in capitalization and the inclusion of values for spaces and non-alpha characters.

Using common and established computer codes sets like EBCDIC or ASCII for valuing the letters and name of antichrist candidates has to be given high regard. For one, these are independently existent standards that do, in fact, apply numeric values to modern alphabet characters in every day life, especially ASCII. Every letter, number, character, or space that is typed on a computer, saved in a file, or broadcast across the internet is somehow digitally encoded in a hidden numeric value. Because of its relative obscurity, code factors on the EBCDIC variants are minimally reduced by 10%.

Six variations of both ASCII and EBCDIC-based calculations are done on each name entry. The first group includes the values for blank spaces, hyphens, etc., while the second only includes alpha character values. Each group is figured three ways according to capitalization options. Because of the likelihood of blank space values being omitted in computerized name-numbering schemes, code factors are not affected by these variations, but lower case renditions are reduced by 25%.

Also included are three older code sets, two deriving from older Digital Equipment computers (SIXBIT, RADIX50) plus one that was used in Western Union, military, and newspaper communications dating back to the early 1900's (Baudot) .²⁰ None of these are case-sensitive, but the latter does value blank spaces, so a variant is included that excludes these, as well. All are ranked at 90%.

It would perhaps also be expedient to further calculate options excluding the values of symbols like hyphens and apostrophes, also, but this option is not presently included in the BNF chart. Since relatively few names include non-alpha symbols, this gap can easily be covered by entering alternate renditions of names that include any special characters.
