Reversible data hiding scheme based on pixel-value differencing in dual images by Pyung-Han Kim, Kwan-Woo Ryu, Ki-Hyun Jung

“…In the proposed scheme, the cover image is divided into non-overlapping blocks and the maximum difference value is calculated to hide secret bits. On the sender side, the length of embeddable secret data is calculated by using the maximum difference value and the log function, and the decimal secret data are embedded into the two stego-images after applying the ceil function and floor function. …”

FROM PHENOMENA AND LAWS OF NATURE TO INITIAL DATA SYMMETRY PRINCIPLES (EXPERIENCE OF RELATIONSHIP OF NATURAL SCIENCE AND THEOLOGY) by Victor Nikolaevich Pervushin

“…So, in accordance with conformal symmetry, elementary objects of space-time are twistors that mathematically equivalent to cubits or to quantum generalisations of bits – information units. The general theory of knowledge eventually conducts to the fundamental theory of the information which, probably, will accept the name of quantum informodynamics, by analogy with quantum chromodynamics.…”
