The Updated Bottom Up Solution (UBUS)

This report was the first generalization of the BUS. This simplified six Cases into two Cases three levels deep. 
Critical Limits of Critical Ratios form Fibonacci Ratios. 


The Updated Bottom Up Solution (UBUS2)

This article took "the road not previously taken" in the Updated Bottom Up Solution as well as the normal path. Using both approaches, the two halves could be united into The Simulacrum.

The Simulacrum System

The Simulacrum System is a new function that describes the sum of all possible solutions for the sum of two values expressed as a value and a ratio of the values.
