MULTI-STRUCTURAL, MULTI-LEVEL INFORMATION FORMALIZATION AND STRUCTURING METHOD, AND ASSOCIATED APPARATUS

Systems and methods are provided for structuring information, including analyzing an original digital information file (DIF) to determine an information quantity (IQ) and an information value (IV). An initial manipulation process is applied to the original DIF to form a first resulting DIF, and a subsequent manipulation process applied to the first resulting DIF to form a second resulting DIF, wherein each manipulation process removes at least one element of the processed DIF and/or represents a combination of elements with a representative element and a first indicia of an interrelationship between the representative element and one or more elements in the combination, to reduce the IQ of the processed DIF, while retaining the IV thereof within a threshold. Manipulation processes are successively applied to the previously resulting DIF until successive applications do not achieve a threshold reduction in IQ. The last resulting DIF has a primary structure with a reduced IQ and an IV within the threshold of the original IV.
