The Standard Odu for IfaCharacter Encoding (SODU)
SODU serves the same purpose for the Ifa Computer, the Odu Ifa, as the Unicode and ASCII Code do for modern computers — translating human languages to machine language and vice versa.
The Odu Ifa is the Ifa Computer, which is the ancient and very first computing technology built by the ancient African mathematicians, Orunmila and Osun.
Also known as IfaScript, SODU is a key element of Ifa Language (IfaLang), providing the Standards for the Odus used for Energy-based communications, Ifa Computing, and the IFA Internet, also called the Theory of Everything (TOE), IFA Mathematics, the Ifa Binary System of Education, or the IFA Body of Knowledge (IFABOK).
SODU is a vital meta-structure of IFA Mathematics and provides the meta-characters used in IfaLang, the TOE Language (TOEL).
Unified Language Framework
Provides a comprehensive system that bridges all fields and disciplines, enabling seamless integration and holistic understanding.
Meta-Structural Clarity
Clarifies complex relationships within the Ifa Language, fostering clarity and deeper insight across all knowledge domains.
Cross-Disciplinary Application
Empowers users to apply the Script’s principles broadly, enhancing coherence and innovation in multiple fields.
IfaScripting
All languages in the world are odus (codes), energies, or conscious entities residing in the language universe, which is called Ifa Language.
When we do operations in IfaLang or the Ifa Binary System of Education, the focus is on the inherent Energy or Odu of any element of nature, or any language, its characters, its script, and its writing system.
IfaMapping is the process of assigning an IfaCode (OduIfa) to an element of nature (or even Nature itself) expressed in IfaLang and following the SODU Coding Standard.
This is also known as Ifassignment operation.
It is based on the fundamental principle in Ifa Sciences that states everything in existence, including Existence itself, has its own Odu that birthed or underlies it.
Ifa-Characters are characters in all world’s languages, including artificial languages, expressed in IfaLang (i.e., in terms of Energy, Ogbe or CEN).
We use IfaCharacters as meta-characters to do Ifassignment and Ifamapping.
IfaScript is the container and fundamental building block of all kinds of scripts.
Unified Scripting Structure
Illustrates Energy or Odu as the point of convergence of all scripting languages.
Energy Dynamics
Explains the flow and interaction of Energy within all scripts.
Linguistic Integration
Details how language elements or linguistic universals unify under IfaScript Principles, which are the 16 Major Odu Ifa.
SODU: The Unicode for Ifa Computers
Just like Unicode and ASCII Code are charts for translating human languages to machine language and vice versa in modern computers, SODU serves the same purpose for the Ifa Computer, providing a formal system for translating Ifa Machine Language (the 256 Ifa Codes) to human languages and vice versa.
Ifa-Operations and Ifa-Variables
IfaVariables are variables expressed in IfaLang. They are metamathematical objects used for operations and meta-operations on Ifa Systems.
