Streams


The Fanily is the conception of Chinese ancient family name Fan·范 derived from a tribe living in a manor with the same name.

Historically, population migration of Fanily was principally initiated from North (Central China) to South (South-east China and Overseas) by wars. Such tree-shaped migration roadmap determined the scattered population distribution and independent development.

To classify Fanily streams, we define the node as a data structure Node(Time, Location) or nₒ(tₒᵉ, lₒᵉ) → nᵢ(tᵢᵒ, lᵢᵒ) where,

tᵢᵒ - tₒᵉ ≥ 1 year
lᵢᵒ - lₒᵉ ≥ 100 km
nᵢ ≥ 100

The root node(s) is(are) nᴿ(tᴿ, lᴿ), while the leaf nodes are nᴸ(tᴸ, lᴸ).
