System and method for structuring and manipulating data that includes a mechanism for processing the data and a mechanism for storing the data. A data structure includes a location structure, a content structure, and a mechanism for mapping each location structure to some or all of the variables within the storing mechanism. The location structure has at least two locators and each of the locators is configurable to have at least one resolution. Each resolution has one or more uniquely identifiable positions, wherein the juxtaposition of one position selected from each of the locators defines a unique location within the location structure. A content structure is provided which is configurable to have variables, wherein each of the variables defines a data item. A mechanism is also provided for mapping each location within the location structure to some or all of the variables within the content structure. A method is disclosed for structuring an manipulating data. A computer implemented process for storing, structuring, manipulating and processing data is also disclosed.
