Version Control

Same principles used for version controls in computer science and software engineering can be applied to any form of science. The diagrams above undergo controlled form of modification and “purification” in which each error is fixed by adding either 0.2 or 0.5 to the previous. In an event of a complete overhaul, the version number will be jumped to the next integer addition. This is great for rapid interval updates. Please send me the version number when you find an error. THANK YOU.
