Photography principle, data transmission, and invariants of manifolds

In the present paper we develop the techniques suggested in \cite{ManturovNikonov} and the photography principle \cite{ManturovWan} for constructing an invariant of 3-manifolds based on Ptolemy relation. We show that a direct implementation of the techniques leads to a trivial invariant and discuss how this approach can be improved to circumvent the difficulties encountered.
