Running With An E-cases File

• Open a new folder on the desktop. Call it MyQFogWork.
• Use TextWrangler to create a new TEXT file entitled KinderEcases.txt that reads as follows:

  

  Store the file KinderEcases.txt inside the folder MyQFogWork. The meaning of this file is that we want to run 3 different e-cases called "case_1", "case_2", and "case_3".

  • For case_1, all node states will be active.
  • For case_2, all states of all nodes except node nz+  will be active. Only state 0 of node nz+  will be active.
  • For case_3, all states of all nodes except nodes nu+  and nz+  will be active. Only state 0 of node nu+  will be active. Only state 0 of node nz+  will be active.
• Now go back to Quantum Fog. Choose Go Back To Initial State in the Go menu.
• Choose TEXT Files Used During Run... in the Prepare menu.
• Click on the Choose Folder button. A "folder-chooser" window will open. Use this window to choose the folder MyQFogWork.
• Type "Kinder" in the blank box after the word "Prefix".
• Put a check mark in the box entitled <prefix>Ecases.txt.
• Put a check mark in the box entitled <prefix>NodeProbs.txt
• Put a check mark in the box entitled <prefix>BinodeProbs.txt
• Put a check mark in the box entitled <prefix>Stories.txt
• Press the OK button of the window entitled "TEXT Files Used During Run..."
• If a check mark does not already appear in front of the Illustrate Stories (ditto, Do One E-Case At A Time) item in the Prepare menu, choose that item.
• In the Main Window, make sure that all nodes are unselected.
• Repeat the following actions 3 times, once for each of the 3 e-cases in the KinderEcases.txt file:
  • Choose Go Forward in the Go menu.
  • Open the Node Prob. window and explore its contents.
  • Open the Bi-node Prob. window and explore its contents.
  • Open the Stories window and explore its contents.
• Choose Go Back To Initial State in the Go menu.
• Look inside the folder MyQFogWork. Open the TEXT files entitled: KinderNodeProbs.txt, KinderBinodeProbs.txt, and KinderStories.txt.

What Next...

The Quantum Fog Distribution contains a folder entitled QFogLibOfNets (contains many examples of quantum nets) and a pdf file entitled QFogLibOfEssays.pdf (contains an essay explaining each net found in the QFogLibOfNets folder). At this point, you might want to look at the examples, and consult this manual whenever you have any questions about Quantum Fog. Or you might want to finish the manual now, and look at the examples later.
