Abstract: A Chart of accounts (COA) is maintained as a logical set of constraints, criteria, and relationships and does not persist any of the valid combinations until a first time a particular combination is used. When any business logic or properties need to be set or referenced on an individual combination, that combination is physically persisted “just in time” and then becomes a physical combination that may be used going forward. A hash value is associated with each combination such that lookups are simplified.

Abstract: A cryptographically secure keystream generating process includes an expanding amorphous process. A seed key is expanded into a partition index that is carved into elements (parameters) by a parallelizable process. A dispersing value is derived from the partition index to de-cluster subsequent partition indexes. The process operates with constant entropy by “recarving” elements and employs block holdbacks for increased variance during multiplexing. Internal emissions are derived from the amorphous process itself, which provide secure random sources for subsequent use within the keystream generation process. Seed key expansion and dispersing value computation both use cyclic redundancy code evaluation employing multiple polynomials. A public (mono) base key family is defined with three preferred modes, two of which are specialized for software implementation. Two private base key embodiments are included that constantly morph the base key.

Abstract: A computer-based accounting system has sub-ledgers, a general ledger and centralized distributions. The sub-ledgers are adapted to record transaction information. The general ledger is adapted to record transaction information from general ledger transactions and information representative of the transaction information from each of the sub-ledgers. The centralized distributions is a repository of distribution lines corresponding to the transaction information contained in the general ledger and the sub-ledgers. The centralized distributions is adapted to associate each distribution line with an originating transaction, allowing the originating transaction to maintain control of its distribution lines.

Abstract: A computer-implemented financial system that includes a user interface for entering transaction header data, which includes a transaction header amount. The financial system also includes a distribution type component that associates the transaction header amount with at least one distribution type (named category with associated characteristics) of multiple distribution types. The distribution type component also utilizes the at least one distribution type associated with the transaction header amount to build at least one transaction distribution line corresponding to the transaction header amount. Additionally, the distribution type component links the at least one distribution type with the at least one distribution line. The linked at least one distribution type dictates what actions can be performed on the at least one distribution line.
