<p>An optically readable record (35) for storing encoded information comprises (1) a recording medium (35), (2) a self-clocking data code (32) for encoding the information, with this data code (32) being composed of glyphs (34) that are written in a bounded two dimensional code field on said recording medium (35) on centers that are spatially distributed in nominal accordance with a predetermined spatial formatting rule, and the glyphs (34) being defined by respective symbols that are selected from a finite set of optically discriminable symbols to encode said information, and (3) a self-clocking address pattern (33) written on said recording medium (35) to extend across said code field along at least one axis, with this address pattern being composed of unique a glyph patterns (37) that disambiguates spatiallogical position within said address pattern (33) to a subpattern precision. <IMAGE></p> |
