Abstract
A novel method of adapting Fibonacci number weighting to raw binary code data of variable length to use the code as a fixed length code by using only those code sequences with a fixed number of cells rather than a fixed number of bits, converting the code to a continuous numerical sequence useful particularly for linear media and data transmission. Encoder and decoder systems useful to enable storing or recording and reading or utilization of the Fibonacci code in bar code, magnetic and other media.
