Abstract
An improved system and an improved method are provided for organizing and managing a dataset using an ordinal system based on an optimized indexing tree, such as a Stern-Brocot tree. The ordinal system employs unique fractional numbers in the Stern-Brocot tree as indices, which are assigned to data entries of the dataset to locate and access these data entries quickly. Thus, the present disclosure provides an improved data management strategy with improved space complexity, improved comparison operation performance, simplified implementation, and reduced storage growth size/rate, compared to its predecessors.
