The AC28R reduces months of intricate software coding down into seconds. This AI breakthrough promises to reshape how businesses develop and maintain enterprise software applications. The system comes with over 1,200 special visual components that combine to create sophisticated applications. With this tool, users can build application software of incredible complexity without needing any coding expertise. The system smoothly and securely connects with corporate databases by dynamically generating special Inverts that are integrated into the overall Invert structure. It can even build financial models based on three-level Monte Carlo simulations with up to 45 different probability distributions.
Once the visual specifications have been built, The Ac28R then analyses the resulting structure, builds the software and executes it. With The Ac28R, organisations can easily share and discuss application software requirements to minimise miscommunication and confusion. The quick turnaround also makes it easy to validate that the finished software is what they wanted.
This article details The Ac28R’s system architecture and special Invert design. It also covers the implementation methods, performance, and the impact of this tool on the client organisation itself.
AC28R System Architecture Overview
The Ac28R uses a sophisticated architecture with visual components called Inverts that are used to specify the desired software application. This architecture brings a significant advancement to software development, as it lets you completely specify a software application with no ambiguity.
Core Components Of The Ac28R Platform
The platform’s architecture features over 1,200 simple Inverts organised in specialised libraries. These components support complex numerical structures like arrays, tables, matrices and triangles as well as sophisticated set manipulation and Monte Carlo models. A software application can be fully specified by connecting together structures of Inverts. There is no need for logic or algorithms since they are intrinsic to the Inverts and their connections. The system’s proprietary logical engine analyses these Invert structures, builds the software, and executes it directly, eliminating the need to generate intermediate source code.
The platform consists of three distinct components:
- Visual 3D Invert components.
- The Invert Builder tool, enabling you to connect Invert structures to build specifications.
- Logic engine, for immediate building and execution of your software.
More about the Invert specification system
The visual components, known as Inverts, each represent a template of a specific type (encapsulating the underlying functionality). A simple Invert like a Ratio requires only that you specify two attributes – the numerator and denominator. Other Inverts can represent components with more complex behaviour, for example, a RandomNumber requires only that you specify the particular probability distribution.
The Ac28R monitors your actions every step of the way to make sure that you don’t inadvertently try to specify something that is logically impossible.
The company says that the system of Inverts is built upon the principles of the Declarative Paradigm by allowing you to specify a software application from the outputs and work backwards. This allows you to avoid getting bogged down in logic and algorithms, as you would do if starting from the inputs.
There are sufficient Inverts of each type that you can practically specify anything that would be possible using a common programming language like Python or C++. The Inverts are as small and flexible as possible, allowing you to quickly specify different variations of complexity with just a few Inverts. To illustrate this, the company claims to have almost 60 different Date Inverts allowing you to specify just about any kind of adjustment, comparison or rounded anniversary.
Real-time Data Processing Capabilities
The platform’s logic engine assesses the Invert structure and instantly builds the corresponding software code. This feature enables:
- Feedback on the design
- The ability to test different variations
- Instant response to changing external needs, whether related to products, markets, or regulation
The architecture includes reliable security measures with data encryption and secure protocols for data transmission. The system also has built-in guardrails that protect against human error during configuration, which ensures reliable and secure operation throughout its deployment.
Special Cases
Most Inverts are fairly simple to look at; for certain special cases The Ac28R uses some small tweaks to the basic design in order to accommodate their special behaviour.
Extensible Inverts
Certain Inverts may have an indeterminate number of attributes (e.g., a file definition might have any different number of individual fields of different types). The Ac28R uses flexible Inverts that allow you to customise such Inverts to your exact needs.
Numerical structures
The Ac28R has almost a hundred different Inverts covering numerical structures such as arrays, tables, matrices, cubes, etc. These Inverts allow you to easily specify one structure in terms of another and even to combine them through arithmetic or a variety of mathematical functions. Because each structure can be viewed as a single entity with multiple elements, there is no need to worry about the underlying mechanisms for combining them.
Singletons versus Sets
Inverts can be categorised as representing Singletons or Sets. The Ac28R uses a simple double-border mechanism to distinguish between them. This mechanism allows the user to avoid the complex logical loops seen in traditional specifications based on pseudocode or flow diagrams. Sets can be of any type (i.e., number, date, array, etc.) and there are special controls to make sure they are used properly.
The Ac28R also provides an extensive facility for manipulating and combining sets – everything from subsets, sorts and set matching to subgroupings based on multiple sets.
Database Integration
The Ac28R easily accommodates enterprise databases by making use of the special security and security controls offered by “Stored Procedures”. To incorporate a stored procedure into an application, you simply select it and the Ac28R dynamically builds the corresponding Invert structure. No special knowledge of databases or SQL is needed.
Implementation Methodology
The company says that their objective is to implement The AC28R platform with minimal disruption to the client and with maximal security and flexibility. This would allow organizations to try the software on a limited basis before deciding whether to make a larger commitment.
System Requirements and Prerequisites
The company has not specified a single deployment mechanism. It will most likely be made available via SaaS either through secure servers at the company site or at the client site.
A client would interact with the tool using a standard PC or laptop (perhaps with an ultrawide monitor).
Deployment Process Timeline
The Ac28R is currently operating at approximately TRL (Technology Readiness Level) 7 and anticipates having the product commercially available by summer 2025. The approach has already been validated through extensive testing and demonstration of a comprehensive working prototype to selected industry experts, with a series of detailed demonstration videos available online.
CyberSecurity
The Ac28R team has developed an energy-efficient scalable SaaS infrastructure that will enable the deployment of the Ac28R to customers of all sizes. This architecture has been built through “secure by design” principles that satisfy NCSC guidelines and relevant ISO standards (ISO/IEC 270001, 27002, 27005, and 22301).
Different Implementation alternatives
Rather than a one-size-fits-all offering, The Ac28R allows for several different levels of client engagement and budget. At the simplest and least expensive level, a client could use The Ac28R to validate their existing legacy software. At the highest and most expensive level the client could use it to build their own software. There will also be an option to build custom software on a consulting basis. The Ac28R may also be offered on a trial basis or for one-off applications that might be needed urgently.
Staff Training Requirements
Since it is possible to specify and build software applications in a fraction of the time required using traditional approaches, The Ac28R allows large organisations to manage their applications with a smaller number of highly skilled business experts and system architects. An online user guide will be provided with detailed information and examples for the various Invert libraries and the Inverts themselves.
Most clients will be able to begin developing software applications right from the start; more sophisticated applications might require more familiarity with the Ac28R’s advanced features. The company anticipates offering a 2-day course for such power users and would be available for follow-up support.
Performance Metrics and Benchmarks
The company has not provided any specific benchmarks; however, due to the nature of the tool, it appears that savings in energy, time and cost would be significant.
Energy Consumption
This solution builds software much faster than software engineers and can be run on a laptop. When considering the high energy requirements of a typical software development operation, the savings from using The Ac28R will clearly be significant.
Recently, there have been efforts to use LLMs to build software code. When compared to LLMs, the reduction in energy demand from The Ac28R becomes even more dramatic. Although it is difficult to quantify the exact energy demand of LLMs, the energy required to train models and power their data centres is evidently enormous. Additionally, LLMs require significant human engineering to train the AI to think like programmers, verify their outputs and build newer models, incurring further energy costs.
System Response Time
Time savings appears to be the biggest argument in favor of this solution since it is so fast that it promises to change perceptions of what is feasible. The company says that a software application that might otherwise take a team of coders 6 months could now be completed in seconds.
Cost Savings Metrics
When using The Ac28R, companies will be able to dramatically reduce their software development costs. Not only will the coding time reduce almost to zero, but there will be far fewer areas for opportunities for miscommunication and wasted work. The power and flexibility of The Ac28R also opens up new uses – for example, using it to validate existing legacy software or to develop new applications that might otherwise have been impractical from a time or budget perspective.
Market Analysis and Impact
Potential Market
The most likely addressable market is organisations with large complex business applications. There has been clear evidence in recent years that businesses and governments face immense difficulty developing complex, reliable, and transparent software without errors (e.g., The UK Post Office scandal, faulty covid models, various airport glitches).
The Ac28R practically eliminates most of the causes of software unreliability. Inverts are flexible enough to allow complex applications to be completely specified down to the smallest detail. In addition, the Invert structure provides transparency and quick feedback. Finally, the Ac28R generates highly reliable software since it is a logical machine. It is not susceptible to many of the errors introduced by human coders and users since its own software only had to be created and tested once.
Operational Challenges
Mitigating Implementation Issues
The only potential risk in deployment relates to privacy and safety of users information, a concern that the company takes extremely seriously.
To mitigate these concerns, the software will be delivered through a highly secure environment hosted on dedicated servers. Pre-registered client machines will connect to their environments through two-factor authentication (2FA) and military-grade cryptographic protocols (RSA 4096 / AES-256). Additionally, stored procedures will be utilised to access client databases through secure access keys under client control. Full compliance with applicable data protection regulations, including the EU GDPR and UK Data Protection Act, has been ensured wherever applicable.
Making Modifications
Compared to traditional methods of modifying software that rely on large teams, project management protocols, documentation, and testing protocols, The Ac28R will make modifications easy and without needing to involve the vendor. The client changes the Invert structure and the software is ready in seconds.
Customer Support
Because client organisations would be able to maintain their own software applications and have extensive verification tools, the customer support needs are much reduced. The company anticipates that much of their effort would be spent in training, education, troubleshooting, and building of additional Invert libraries.
Conclusion
The Ac28R appears to offer a compelling alternative to current approaches to building software applications. The tool is sufficiently advanced and accompanied by a number of lengthy demonstration videos, clearly demonstrating how it would have significant applicability in the market.
This represents a groundbreaking advancement in software development, one that combats the common issues that organisations face when developing complex applications. Through eliminating the need for manual coding, The Ac28R will dramatically reduce development time, while also enhancing the reliability and transparency of software.
By removing significant obstacles that are currently faced by various roles in the current development process, The Ac28R also promises to change the way that software is developed. With lower future costs, it also promises to open up new avenues for software applications.
FAQs
1. How does The Ac28R compare to Low-Code No-Code tools?
No-code Low-code solutions cannot handle complex software; they’re limited to simple applications (e.g. the presentation of information in dashboards). In contrast the Ac28R is capable of building complex industrial strength software applications.
2. How is The Ac28R better than an LLM?
Large Language Model (LLM) code generators rely on structured human prompts and ambiguous user specifications. They trawl the internet for code snippets and use flawed logic to stitch these snippets together, ultimately still requiring a software engineer to review the output and fix the errors.
In contrast, The Ac28R allows you to completely and unambiguously specify software requirements. The software then generated by The Ac28R exactly matches the specifications.
3. What makes The Ac28R Bulletproof?
The Ac28R generates software using a purely logical engine with firm guardrails built directly into the underlying logic, mitigating many of the errors human coders are susceptible to (e.g., invalid types, invalid values, circular references).
Every part of The Ac28R’s logic engine only had to be corrected once; after that, its logic is reproducible so it will never repeat a mistake.
Finally, the tool comes with diagnostic popups that allow you to verify every element of the software. Thus, not only can you validate the output, but you can also validate every step that got you there. This feature gives comfort that the tool is working the way that it is supposed to.
