Abstract

A computerized information retrieval system having consistency among a sensory network portrayed in a visual display, a semantic network that establishes the logic of data organization and retrieval and a mechanical storage network that locates data in a memory structure the networks having an architecture based on a life tree array that splits the search and storage paths into multiple paths for rapid access and retrieval in response to user queries.
