Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method for analyzing an entity network, the method comprising: receiving input including a first number (E) corresponding to a number of entities in a real entity network to be analyzed, and a second number (R) corresponding to a number of relations per entity in the real entity network; in response to the input, generating (i) E number of entity entries in an entities table, each entity entry including at least an entity identifier and entity metadata, and (ii) a calculations table including the E number of entity identifiers, each associated with a level value of zero; incrementing every Rth level value in the calculations table by one; determining, using one or more processors, whether more than R number of the level values were incremented in a most recent incrementing step, and if so again performing the incrementing step on those level values, wherein such incrementing and determination are repeated until the determination finds at most R number of recently incremented level values; after the incrementing is finished, creating a model entity network that have the E number of entity entries organized according to their respective level values, the model entity network created by generating a relations table with associations between the E number of entity entries; performing one or more tests on the generated model entity network that involve at least some of the metadata; and modifying the real entity network based on an outcome of the performed test.
