Information is stored in a data structure as an item element and an association element. The item comprises a content attribute. The association comprises a count attribute and a sign attribute, and represents a relationship between two items. The data structure itself is an occurrence of a storage model that conforms to axioms of information that define characteristics common to all forms of information. The elements of the data structure can be added, deleted and/or edited and such modifications of the data structure are validated before being applied. Explicit and implicit constraints are also enforced during modification. An item can represent a factual or an expectational object. Informational processes may be executed to generate real objects from corresponding expectational objects. An association element has a directionality representing the creation sequence of the items it associates. Output from the data structure is generated in response to a query. |
