SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR HANDLING DATA

In a system and method for the object-oriented generation, analysis and validation of data within a computer, an input of a logic amplifier (13) receives premises about objects from graphics means (11, 12), and the output of the logic amplifier is connected to a knowledge database (15) and an interpolar (19) incorporating a fractal interpolation functions database (20), the output of the interpolator being connected to display means (22, 23) and to another input of the logic amplifier. The logic amplifier (13) incorporates a binary energy tree (14). The system may handle data concerning real or unreal objects. Events can be described and logged by assigning to each of them, firstly, an index number in the order in which the event is believed to have occurred and, secondly, the time at which the event is believed to have occurred which is symbolised by the truth functional connective '' ''. The fractal interpolation functions (20) may be used to render the energy tree visually on the display means, whereby the fractal dimensions of value 0 to 1 give the probability of an identified node of the energy tree being true, 1 to 2 give the directions of lines, 2 and 3 give the texture of surfaces, and 3 to 4 the shape of objects in the frame of reference.
