This is related to the bug report #457--which was intended to be a demo of this desired feature before the bug.
This tool would enable a user to create an array of data within Ravel, rather than having to import data all the time. In the case I was using, I wanted an index dimension (in this case, from index 1 to 50--could starting with 1 instead of 0 have been a cause of the bug?), with a linked data dimension based on a formula.
The formula here was quite simple: each data entry equalled its index value. But this could be a constant, or a square of the index, or some more complex a formula.
I used this array as a pseudo output number for a pseudo firm, but we could have a quadratic formula, or something more complicated, being generated from the array and then used in a model like the one I attached with bug #457.
I'd say this functionality is already there. To create a vector of values 0..49, create a parameter, and set the init field to "iota(49)". Then you could wire it up to the + operator, and add 1. If you want to square it, feed the parameter to both sides of a * operator.
To do a constant, you can employ 'zero' and 'one' appropriately. See https://minsky.sourceforge.io/manual/minsky/node109.html for more details.
I’ll check it out. And we need something that is easy for neophyte users,
once we go commercial.
Best, Steve
