The Arizona Calculator: A Royal Instrument for the Future of Measurement

By Jonathan Olvera | Phoenix, Arizona


What if a calculator could do more than just math?
What if it could monitor cattle, map the oceans, sense sky shifts, and even express creativity? Jonathan Olvera’s Arizona Calculator isn’t just a device—it’s a multidimensional innovation. Rooted in desert pragmatism and royal futurism, this hybrid system is being developed with fiber-optics, negative magnetic polarity, and visual intelligence as its foundation.



🔍 Vision: Measuring the Invisible

At its core, the Arizona Calculator proposes a sensory and computational platform designed to interact with the natural world. This includes:

  • Water Location & Seismic Monitoring

  • Nano & Sky Movement Detection

  • Cattle, Livestock, & Agricultural Tracking

  • Oceanic Mapping & Canal Flow Regulation

  • Workforce and Stock Input Recording

The system will operate using ISO-negative sphere polarity, fiber-based conductivity, and a display unit formed around a "dimensional cube." This cube—rendered visually in yellow-green—serves as both metaphor and module.




⚙️ Design Components and Input Schema

On the left (IN) side of the schematic, we see color-coded units (Black, Yellow, Blue, White, Brown, Green) feeding into a 3D cubic conductor. This cube translates environmental and coded input into electric signals that are then processed by a Board of Elements.

On the right (OUT), these signals emerge from a visual and data interface composed of magnetic plates, color prisms, and crystalline circuits. This is not a computer—it’s a computational environment.

📏 Volume Ratio: 1 × .25³ — A nod to nano-processing density.


🧠 Dimensions of Computation

Olvera outlines seven distinct dimensions for this machine:

  1. Information

  2. Color or Units

  3. Display Conductor

  4. (reserved)

  5. Board of Elements

  6. Audio Input/Output

  7. Video Input/Output

The architecture integrates audio-visual mapping, static signal transformation, and negative/positive numerical logic to power both technical and expressive outputs.


🛠️ Hardware and Material Goals

  • Magnets for directional logic and board feedback

  • Cellulose Adhesive for sustainable bonding

  • Crystal prisms to interact with data as both physical and digital spectrum

  • Double negatives and mixed number logic to allow dynamic calculation and data reversal

Each Element Board is built to last, inspired by the durability of mechanical typewriters, but aimed at the intelligence of modern sensors.


🎨 The Creative Future: Tech as Art

Olvera’s goal is not just functional—it’s artistic. The Arizona Calculator will also include:

  • Expressive Rendering Tools

  • Aesthetic Display Logic

  • User Experience Design Centered in Human Calibration

He envisions it used in medical diagnostics, culinary polymer production, and even entertainment graphics, with dynamic sensitivity to human input and intuitive feedback.


🏛️ In Royal Service: A Monarchy of Precision

This entire concept, while rooted in innovation, also pays homage to Spain’s monarchy and dynastic engineering legacy, now revived in Arizona’s heat and vision. As an artist and historian, Jonathan Olvera names this project in symbolic continuity with Spanish royal service, uniting tradition, technology, and territorial care.


📜 Conclusion: A Calculator for Civilization

The Arizona Calculator is not a product—it’s a philosophy. It proposes that every input—be it water, light, livestock, or signal—can be measured, interpreted, and re-imagined through geometry, magnetism, and art.

In the coming months, as designs are tested and boards built, Olvera continues to shape the desert’s future—one dimensional algorithm at a time.
