Programming Light with Opele and Opon Ifa Tray

Hundreds to thousands of years before the first electric lamp was invented many religions and spiritual groups and organisations portrayed themselves as light without any scientific evidence or proof.

"Let there be light" (Genesis 1)

When thrown three times on an opon Ifa divination tray, opele is a light radiating all colours ranging from black light to white light.

If opele is thrown once and the eight shells are front the resulting code is:                  || || || ||  || || || ||. Since double line is zero, the result is the 8 bits: 0000 0000. Which is 0, when converted from base 2 to base 10.

If you throw the opele three times and arrive at the same result, you have created the light code 0, 0, 0 and the opele chain is emitting t black light.

Colour codes are derived when the opele divination chain is thrown three times.

The colour is white if the outcomes are:

| | | |  | | | |

| | | |  | | | |

| | | |  | | | |

Since  | | | | is equal to 1111, the result is 1111 1111 1111 1111

Recall that in the hexadecimal,

1111 = F

1110 = E

1101 = D

1011 = C

1010 = B

1001 = A

Therefore,

| | | |  | | | | = 1111 1111 = FF

| | | |  | | | | = 1111 1111 = FF

| | | |  | | | | = 1111 1111 = FF

# FFFFFF is white colour palette, implying that the chain is emitting white light.

Since | | | |  is Ogbe, F = Ogbe.

FF = Ogbe Ogbe

#FFFFFF = Ogbe Ogbe Ogbe Ogbe Ogbe Ogbe

White light = Ogbe Ogbe Ogbe Ogbe Ogbe Ogbe

Red light colour code is #FF0000, where F is Ogbe and 0 is Oyeku.

Therefore,

Red light = #FF0000

= Ogbe Ogbe Oyeku Oyeku Oyeku Oyeku

= 1111 1111 0000 0000 0000 0000

Green light = #00FF00

= Oyeku Oyeku Ogbe Ogbe Oyeku Oyeku

= 0000 0000 1111 1111 0000 0000

Blue light = 0000FF

= Oyeku Oyeku Oyeku Oyeku Ogbe Ogbe

= 0000 0000 0000 0000 1111 1111

What is #? It is a tag denoting that the colour pallette has an octet structure.

# = Hash = H (8)

The first four shells are 4 bits from where the sixteen possible ODU are derived. While the entire 8 shells are 8 bits from where the 256;ODU of the Ifa literary corpus are derived.
