| 1. A system for transmitting data over a network to at least one client having a latency time to initiate transmission of
said data to the client, including:
at least one anti-latency signal generator for generating a plurality of anti-latency data streams containing at least a leading
portion of data for receipt by a client; and
at least one interactive signal generator for generating a plurality of interactive data streams containing at least a remaining
portion of said data for the client to merge into after receiving at least a portion of an anti-latency data stream, wherein:
said data has a length R, and is fragmented into K segments each requiring a time T to transmit over the network;
the interactive data streams include N interactive data streams, wherein each of the N interactive data streams is repeated
continuously within said interactive data stream, and wherein each successive interactive data stream is staggered by an interactive
time interval =
 the anti-latency data streams include M anti-latency data streams, wherein the anti-latency data streams 1 to M are generated
such that an mth anti-latency data stream has Fm segments, wherein Fm is an mth Fibonacci number; and
the Fm segments are repeated continuously within the mth anti-latency data stream, wherein each of the N interactive data streams contains the remaining portion of said data only.
