A system and method for computer modeling (10) and for creating hyperstructures (51) which are to be contained in a computer memory, which obtains measurements of physical objects and activities which are related to the entity to be modeled in the computer hyperstructure (51). The measurements are transformed into computer data which corresponds to the physical objects and activities external to the computer system (10). A plurality of independent dimensions (54) are created, where each dimension (54) includes at least one element (58). A plurality of cells (56) are created, each of which is associated with the intersection of two or more elements (58), each cell (56) being capable of storing at least one value. At least one rule domain (60) is associated with at least one cell (56), the rule domain (60) including at least one rule for assigning values to the associated cells (56). A domain modeling rule set (126) is prepared (300), which determines which of the rules will provide the value associated with each of the cells (56) wherein application of the domain modeling rule set (126) to the hyperstructure (51) causes a physical transformation of the data corresponding to said physical objects which are modeled in said hyperstructure (51). Also disclosed is a method for querying computer hyperstructures (51), a Hyperstructure Query Language, and a "cell explorer", which allows direct viewing of the applied formulas that produce a specific value for a cell (56).
A method of modeling a plurality of variables in a hyperstructure in a computer modeling system having at least one data storage means, a data processing means, input means, and output means, the steps comprising:
A method of querying a multidimensional computer modeling data structure in a computer system having at least one data storage means, data processing means, input means, output means, a hyperstructure constructed in one of said data storage means, a calculation engine, a domain modeling rule set preparation module, a query engine, and an evaluator which communicates with an SQL generator, a math library, a cache retrieval device and a sort and search processor, comprising the steps of:
A computer system for modeling a plurality of variables in a hyperstructure comprising:
