1. A reference system comprising:
(a) a color or pattern code system comprising the association of a plurality of n colors with n designated numerical indices; (b) said color or pattern code system being applied to a plurality of conduits and to a plurality of bundles of n conduits, and also to any number of higher order pluralities of bundles of n conduits, such that each conduit may be given a unique numerical count determined by its color or pattern and the colors or patterns of all of the bundles containing it, according to said color or pattern code system; (c) said color or pattern code system being applied to generate at least one table; (d) each of said at least one table comprising an n-by-n matrix; (e) said n×n matrix being filled with sequential numbers, each corresponding to a conduit count, and positioned in order along each column or each row of said n×n matrix; (f) each of said at least one table comprising a set of bundle labels; (g) said set of bundle labels being positioned adjacent to said n×n matrix such that each of said set of bundle labels functions as a header of one column or one row of said n×n matrix containing sequential conduit counts; (h) each of said set of bundle labels designating one color or pattern of said color or pattern code system and an index identifier designating the particular count of said at least one table in which the particular one of said set of bundle labels is located; and (i) each set of n of said sequential numbers with one column or one row of said n×n matrix being mapped to said color or pattern code system. |
