Abstract:
1. A method comprising: receiving information by a processor, the information comprising a plurality of states, each state representable by a number, each state corresponding to a characteristic of a plurality of characteristics, each characteristic assigned an index integer of a plurality of index integers of an index, each characteristic having a plurality of potential states from which the state corresponding to the characteristic is specified within the information; for each characteristic, generating by the processor an engram value for the characteristic, the engram value equal to the number representing the state corresponding to the characteristic multiplied by a state base value for the characteristic, the state base value for the characteristic equal to a base value to the power of the index integer assigned to the characteristic, the base value identical for all the characteristics; generating a first engram by the processor based on the engram values for the characteristics; comparing the first engram against a second engram, by the processor, by, for each characteristic until an end condition has been reached, determining a comparison result equal to the number representing the state corresponding to the characteristic within the information encoded into the first engram with a corresponding number representing the state corresponding to the characteristic within other information encoded into the second engram; and outputting one or more of the comparison results, by the processor.
