Parallel propagating embedded binary sequences for characterizing and parameterizing two dimensional image domain code patterns in N-dimensional address space

A process for constructing a machine readable N-dimensional address space comprising

• registering a two dimensional code pattern with a two dimensional lattice of generally uniformly spaced centers to identify at least one set of parallel, transversely spaced apart lines within said code pattern:
• encoding first and second cyclically interleaved unique numeric sequences on at least certain of said lines of said code pattern;
• at least certain instances of said second sequence being a selection made from a plurality of candidates in accordance with a predetermined metric, with neighboring instances of said second sequence being phased relative to each other so that there is a phase difference therebetween that incrementally increases transversely of said code pattern;
• all instances of said first sequence being a prespecified sequence, with neighboring instances of said first sequence having a constant phase relationship that is set to identify all selected instances of said second;
• whereby said instances of said second numeric sequence parameterize one dimension of said code pattern, the relative phase difference between neighboring instances of said second sequence parameterizes a second dimension of said code pattern, and said selected instances of said second sequence further parameterize said code pattern with respect to said metric.
