Today I am releasing my personal Major system toolkit to the general community. It has helped me build better systems by having many digit to keyword conversion options.
In it you will find 1-, 2- and 3-digit conversions for
15,130+ terms
700+ first names
2,225+ proper names sorted in three different ways
1,110 default keywords
Here are a few screenshots of the document: Default keywords:
Watch for new releases periodically. I’m at 1.0.2 since yesterday because of a few additions. If you would like to offer something to add or recommend a removal, other than a name, please let me know.
I have have a major system 0 to 1000, I have been using for a few years now. You have some better images for some and I think I may have some better ones for others. I will send you a spreadsheet of my ideas and images when I clean it up (Take what you want, if you want anything). This is great. Look forward to reading through your PDF. Thanks for the effort.
I never found a need for 00 to 09 or 010 to 099. Might be helpful, but never had a need or ran into a wall of any kind not having them.
@thinkaboutthebible did you checked my this topic yet
I created this topic long time ago, basically collection of all available major system, ben system list images.
yeah, anyway it took me a lot of time to check all words in that sources as well, haha.
the difference in my system is that I have only about 25 % English words that is most commonly used
Particularly liked the last pages containing names using Major System. Whilst I use Dominic System myself there is definitely an overlap where both systems use the same letters only to signify different numbers, according to the systems’ individual codes. Thus Sammy Davis in Dominic = 64 and Sammy Davis in Major System = 01. I like the fact that Ozzy Osbourne works in both Major System and Dominic Systems as 00 (Major system using the phonetic sounds o(Z)zy o(S)bourne (vowels have no value) hence ZS = (00), whilst Dominic system uses the OO to represent 00.
@fred2, thanks! I looked for any overlap areas with non-Major systems. I also can generate an easy initial sort of 26x26 pegs (AA, AB, AC, etc.) but I didn’t include it because it didn’t use the Major system. If anyone wants it, I’ll put it out there.
Also, I forgot to add an example screen shot of that last sort you liked so here it is:
@Rajadodve786, I don’t plan on adding any more names to my list and just letting other people add what they need. But in this case, I do know this mathematician having been a math major in college at the start but not having the discipline to continue, and I’d like to honor him by adding him in my list. It’s also an honor to add him for you and your contributions to the forum. Look for update 1.0.4 tomorrow. Thanks!
@thinkaboutthebible I’m a bit confused. If you are using the standard Major System as described in Harry Lorayne’s book: You have coded 345 as Emerald. However, doesn’t Emerald code for 3451?
Doesn’t Marshmallow code as 34635?
Or are you just using the first 3 sounds because you have chosen to limit the word to the first 3 sounds? How would you know it was meant to be a 3 digit number and not a 5 digit number?
If you are doing this, it seems to violate the principles of the major system.
@Celtic, you’re right about converting the words into the digits but as far as a system for using the Major system, a sound-to-digit conversion, you can do whatever you like. I chose, as you suspected, to limit my system at 3 digits, limiting my 1-digit and 2-digit entries to use no extra letters, but freeing up the 3-digit words to have no limit in length.
No principles were violated in the construction of the system. It was my game, and I made up the rules. Actually I followed the lead of Berol’s system who did the same.
If someone read my number system, I guess he will die by laughing because I don’t follow system letters exactly. I have lot’s of variation , technically my own understanding rules.
and let’s say I violated some kind of rule, still my speed is good so I think that’s fine. Doug thinks the same I guess.
@thinkaboutthebible
Yes. That’s what I thought. Which is if course ok, since you know that marshmallow is your word for 346. I just wanted to clear up that this is what you were doing. Anyone using the standard system as outlined in Harry Lorayne’s ‘the memory book’ would decode Marshmallow as 34635. I believe your statement:
does violate the principles of the major system that I specified in my question to you.
I agree that you can create any system that modifies the major system I specified as you said here:
and
To me this means you are recognizing that you are not using the major system as specified in Harry Lorayne’s book in the standard way.
Nevertheless. Thank you for the clarification.
However you’ll probably have to use a new word for your 100,000 list
And thank you for putting your system out to the general community!
