ABSTRACT:
A method and system is presented for storing data in data cells containing only a single element of data. Each data cell includes four components: an Entity Instance identifier (“O”), an Entity Type identifier (“E”) an Attribute Type identifier (“A”), and an Attribute Value (“V”). Groups of cells with identical O and E values constitute a cell set. Every cell contains a unique combination of O, E, A, and V. Relationships between cell sets are established by creating two synapse cells. The first synapse cell has O and E values of the first cell and has A and V values equal to the E and O value, respectively, of the second cell. The second synapse cell, has O and E values of the second cell, and has as its A and V values the E and O value, respectively, of the first cell set.
