ABSTRACT:
A system that passes algorithms or functions between dependency nodes of a dependency graph in a graphic creation process system using a pointer or by passing a self-evaluating data structure. An evaluation process associated with the graph includes an ability to distinguish between passed parameters based on type where one of the types allowed is a function type and types are identified dynamically as the dependency graph is executed. The node receiving the algorithm executes the received algorithm along with it's own algorithm avoiding the necessity of traversing the graph multiple times when a data series is executed. The system also provides a mapping that allows parameters of the function to be reordered to match the source and destination function requirements. Default values allow evaluation even when less than all parameters associated with the function are passed. Mapping flags allow passed parameters to be ignored.
