Bundling

Bundling

new Bundling(nameopt, …symbol)

Description:

  • Implements a macroscopic ersatz of a VSA bundling.

    • A bundling or superposition is created adding new symbols.
    • The bundling belief tau = tau_1 tau_2 ... and sigma = sigma_1 + sigma_2 + ... is calculated from its member belief.
Parameters:
Name Type Attributes Description
name string <optional>

An optional name. By default, a #index unique name is generated.
symbol Symbol <repeatable>

Symbol added to the bundling from 0 to 8 in this implementation

Methods

add(symbol) → {Bundling}

Description:

  • Adds a new symbol to the container.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
symbol Symbol

The symbol to add.
Returns:

A reference to this bundling, allowing to chain add methods:

macrovsa::Bundling bundling;
bundling.add(symbol_1).add(symbol_2). ../..
Type
Bundling

erase(symbol) → {AssociativeMap}

Description:

  • Erases a symbol in the container.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
symbol Symbol

The symbol to erase.
Returns:

A reference to this associative map, allowing to chain add methods.

Type
AssociativeMap

get()

Description:

  • Defines an iterator over the bundling symbols, used in a construct of the form:

     for(auto it = bundling.Bundling::get().cbegin(); it != bundling.Bundling::get().cend(); it++) {
   // unsigned int symbolID = it->first;
   const Symbol& symbol it->second;
   ../..
 }
    • The bundling.Bundling::get().size() construct returns the number of symbols in this bundling.
    • The bundling.Bundling::edit() construct returns a modifiable std::map <unsigned int, Symbol&>& allowing to edit the underlying structure.
Returns:

A const std::map < Symbol* >& reference for bundling iteration.

asString() → {String}

Description:

  • Returns the value as a string.

Returns:

A string of the form bundling_symbol [ symbol ... ].

Type
String
