<p>There is described a method for manipulation, storage, modeling, visualization, and quantification of datasets, which correspond to target strings. An iterative algorithm is used to generate comparison strings corresponding to some set of points that can serve as the domain of an iterative function. Preferably these points are located in the complex plane, such as in and/or near the Mandelbrot Set or a Julian Set. The comparison string is scored by evaluating a function having the comparison string and one of the plurality of target strings as inputs. The evaluation may be repeated for a number of the other target strings. The score or some other property corresponding to the comparison string is used to determine the target string's placement on a map. The points are analyzed and/or compared by examining, either visually or mathematically, their relative locations, their absolute locations within the region, and/or metrics other than location.</p> |
