Features of Single Value Coordinate System (SVCS) for Earthquake Forecasting using Single Layer Hierarchical Graph Neuron (SLHGN)

In order to increase its accuracy, the earthquake forecasting using the Single Layer Hierarchical Graph Neuron (SLHGN) requires particular capabilities related to earth coordinates. As the current coordinate system cannot provide the SLHGN with such capabilities, this work has developed the Single Value Coordinate System (SVCS) as a solution. The main principles of the SVCS that are different to the current coordinate system are: 1) The SVCS coordinate points to an area, not to a dot (point), therefore it is suitable for the SLHGN; 2) The SVCS only utilizes basic mathematical operations, therefore it is fast; 3) The SVCS treats each area on the earth equally, therefore it is reliable. Based on these, the work has successfully discovered three main features of the SVCS that will be beneficial for the SLHGN. The SVCS provides earthquake forecasting using the SLHGN with these three main features: 1) Conversion from current coordinates to the SVCS coordinates; 2) Shortest distance calculation in different areas; 3) Simplest direction formulation between two areas.
