System information management

A method for displaying information using a computing device having an associated display, the method comprising:

• storing a plurality of nodes in a database on a non-transitory computer readable medium and accessible by a processor,
• wherein each node includes or references at least one data element, and wherein each node relates to an order and a subspace and is implicitly linked via the order and subspace to at least one other of the plurality of nodes such that the order and subspace imply a relationship between the data element and at least one other data element included in or referenced by the at least one other of the plurality of nodes;
• displaying a plurality of information areas on the display each information area showing stored information stored in one of the data elements, and each information area positioned on the display relative to the plurality of information areas based on the implied relationship, wherein the plurality of information areas are positioned on the display such that a final portion of stored information shown in a first information area is aligned with an initial portion of stored information shown in a next information area;
• selecting an input source;
• and
• inputting information into the plurality of information areas from the input source.

A computing device having an associated display for displaying information comprising:

• a processor in communication with a non-transitory computer readable medium;
• an input interface configured to create a plurality of nodes in a database stored on the non-transitory computer readable medium, wherein each node includes or references at least one data element, and wherein each node relates to an order and a subspace and is implicitly linked via the order and subspace to at least one other of the plurality of nodes such that the order and subspace imply a relationship between the data element and at least one other data element included in or referenced by the at least one other of the plurality of nodes;
• a display configured to display a plurality of information areas each information area showing stored information stored in one of the data elements, and each information area positioned relative to the plurality of information areas based on the implied relationship, wherein the plurality of information areas are positioned on the display such that a final portion of stored information shown in a first information area is aligned with an initial portion of stored information shown in a next information area;
• an input interface configured:
• to select one of the plurality of information areas,
• to input information into the selected information area, and
• to store the input information from the selected information area to a data element of the at least one data element which corresponds to the selected information area.
