Abstract
A system of data storage tables (10A) include an extendable subject table (12) for storing subject UID entries, and an extendable element table (16) for storing UID element entries and aggregate UID entries and role UID entries. The UIDs stored in the tables specify relationships between the UIDs, and collectively define a tangle (10B) of connecting paths. The tangle spreads out between subject nodes corresponding to subject UIDs, and aggregation nodes corresponding to aggregate UIDs, and role nodes corresponding to role UIDs. Each subject node and aggregation node and role node is path connected through the tangle to other subject UIDs and aggregate UIDs and role UIDs defining the relationship between the UIDs in the tables.
