System and method for structuring data in a computer system

A method for generating a data structure comprising:

• creating a parent node in a first memory, a first child node in a second memory, a second child node in a third memory, and third child node in a fourth memory;
• and
• linking said parent node to said first child node by creating a first pointer directing a program from said parent node to said first child node and a second pointer directing a program from said first child node to said parent node;
• linking said first child node to said second child node by creating a third pointer directing a program from said first child node to said second child node and a fourth pointer directing a program from said second child node to said first child node;
• linking said second child node to said third child node by creating a fifth pointer directing a program from said second child node to said third child node and a sixth pointer directing a program from said third child node to said second child node;
• and
• linking said parent node to said second child node.

Computer executable software code stored on a computer readable medium, the code for creating a data structure, comprising:

• code for creating a parent node in a first memory, a first child node in a second memory, a second child node in a third memory, and a third child node in a fourth memory;
• code for directing a program from said parent node to said first child node and from said first child node to said parent node;
• code for directing said program from said first child node to said second child node and from said second child node to said first child node;
• code for directing said program from said second child node to said third child node and from said third child node to said second child node;
• and
• code for directing said program from said parent node to said second child node.

The data structure for organizing data, comprising:

• a parent node stored in a first memory location;
• a first child node stored in a second memory location;
• a second child node stored in a third memory location;
• and
• a third child node stored in a fourth memory location;
• wherein said parent node comprises a pointer to each of said first, second and third child nodes;
• said first child node comprises a pointer to said parent node and said second child node;
• said second child node comprises a pointer to said parent node, said first child node, and said third child node;
• and said third child node comprises a pointer to said second child node and said parent node.
