Description
BACKGROUND

Today's researchers, unlike their counterparts of the past, have near real-time access to vast amounts of different types of data. The technologies grouped under the rubric “data mining” enable researchers to plow through data to generate a vast number of hypotheses in a prioritized fashion.


Offset against that advantage are the following caveats: Few data mining techniques are associated with tests of statistical significance: a suggested hypothesis does not usually come with a “p-value.” An observed relationship between an indirect indicator and an event does not, in the absence of additional knowledge, imply cause or effect. Further, because of the problem of confounding variables, the factors that may be predictors may turn out not to be so. That problem has been known since the devising of the Pearson correlation coefficient in the early 20th century. Two variables that were apparently highly correlated were found to be associated only because of a third unconsidered variable. Thus, indirect indicators may not always reflect cause-and-effect relationships.


Previous investigators have attempted to define event evolution as a function of media reporting. Cieri and colleagues (1802) proposed that an event be defined as “a specific thing that happens at a specific time and place along with all necessary pre-conditions and unavoidable consequences.” Makkonen (2003) observed that a seminal event can lead to various related events and outcomes, and the initial cause of these events may become less obvious over time.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In alternative embodiments the invention provides methods, systems and apparatus for data analysis using e.g., at least one event node comprising a plurality of data elements. The methods, systems and apparatus of the disclosure are capable of identifying similar geospatial events. Given that a prediction of related events is important for identifying risks.


Some portions of the detailed description that follows are presented in terms of algorithms and symbolic representations of operations on data bits within a computer memory. These algorithmic descriptions and representations are the means used by those skilled in the data processing arts to most effectively convey the substance of their work to others skilled in the art. An algorithm is here, and generally, conceived to be a self-consistent sequence of steps leading to a result. The steps are those requiring physical manipulations of physical quantities. Usually, though not necessarily, these quantities take the form of electrical or magnetic signals capable of being stored, transferred, combined, compared, and otherwise manipulated. It has proven convenient at times, principally for reasons of common usage, to refer to these signals as bits, values, elements, symbols, characters, terms, numbers, or the like.


It should be borne in mind, however, that all of these and similar terms are to be associated with the appropriate physical quantities and are merely convenient labels applied to these quantities. Unless specifically stated otherwise as apparent from the following discussion, it is appreciated that throughout the description, discussions utilizing terms such as “processing”, “computing”, “calculating”, “determining”, “displaying” or the like, refer to the actions and processes of a computer system, or similar electronic computing device that manipulates and transforms data represented as physical (e.g., electronic) quantities within the computer system's registers and memories into other data similarly represented as physical quantities within the computer system memories or registers or other such information storage, transmission, or display devices.


The invention also relates to an apparatus for performing the operations herein. This apparatus may be specially constructed for the required purposes, or it may comprise a general-purpose computer selectively activated or reconfigured by a computer program stored in the computer. Such a computer program may be stored in a computer readable storage medium, such as, but not limited to, any type of disk including floppy disks, optical disks, CD-ROMs, and magnetic-optical disks, read-only memories (ROMs), random access memories (RAMs), EPROMs, EEPROMs, magnetic or optical cards, or any type of media suitable for storing electronic instructions.


The algorithms and displays presented herein are not inherently related to any particular computer or other apparatus. Various general-purpose systems may be used with programs in accordance with the teachings herein, or it may prove convenient to construct a more specialized apparatus to perform the method steps. The structure for a variety of these systems will appear from the description below. In addition, the present invention is not described with reference to any particular programming language. It will be appreciated that a variety of programming languages may be used to implement the teachings of embodiments of the invention as described herein.


In alternative embodiments, a machine-readable medium includes any mechanism for storing or transmitting information in a form readable by a machine (e.g., a computer). For example, a machine-readable medium includes a machine-readable storage medium (e.g., read only memory (“ROM”), random access memory (“RAM”), magnetic disk storage media, optical storage media, flash memory devices, etc.), a machine-readable transmission medium (electrical, optical, acoustical or other form of propagated signals (e.g., carrier waves, infrared signals, digital signals, etc.)), etc.


In the following description, numerous details are set forth. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art, that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details.


By analogy the methods, systems and devices of the disclosure convert information available from any number of various databases to a data structure similar to biological DNA, the genetic code of life. DNA is made up of a sugar backbone having various nucleotide bases (A, G, T, and C) that are in a sequence along the backbone to encode key structures of life (e.g., proteins). DNA normally exists in the human body as a double-stranded helix, wherein bases of A match with T and bases of G match with C. When a single strand of DNA matches a second strand of DNA the strands are said to be complementary (i.e., the bases align along the backbones).


In alternative embodiments, “complementarity” can be defined as a percent identity, e.g., in alternative embodiments, two strands are 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or more, or completely (100%) identical, or 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or more, or completely complementary. The more complementary two strands, the more likely the resulting code is to encode a particular protein, or in the case of the present invention, an event.


In alternative embodiments, the invention provides methods, system and device tools that aid data fusion, pattern recognition, and geo-spatial visualization leveraging tools from biologically inspired computing, computational neurosciences, persuasive science, and behavior modeling.


In alternative embodiments, a server collects data from either a data mining process or user input. This information is transformed into a Data Node Analysis sequence. The information is updated in real-time for changes that may occur within the data sets.


In alternative embodiments, the Data Node Analysis creates a detailed structure for data and offers the ability to visualize them. Data Node Archive (DNA) is a method of information indexing of all known data. This structure is designed very similarly to human DNA structure to identify the makeup of data with variables similar to that of human DNA, however in the DNA data structure of the disclosure the data form the “bases” or rungs.


In alternative embodiments, Data Node Archive is a coded blueprint with instructions to construct predictive analysis, information mining, and geo-spatial visualization. Referring to FIG. 2, the system consists of repeating structural units known as nodes attached to a backbone. The arms that extend out from the bone are categorized data elements. The code is read and translated within e.g., the program BRAIN (Binary Risk Analysis Intelligence Network), or equivalent, which in one embodiment is the reader that translates binary instructions (on/off or true/false).


In alternative embodiments the database stores information and provides the variables for generating the Data Node Analysis Strands to conduct pattern recognition or detailed analysis. The connections are based on similarity in entire content or a single variable. In a few of the nodes, most of the variables may match. The structure is based on nodes (stem-category) and arms (variables) that are attached to the nodes—thus, these objects can vary greatly in size, shape, and volume.


In alternative embodiments, Data Node Analysis of the invention comprises seven steps to generate and process the stages starting with the inception of data and finishing with a complete application-generated double-helix image (each helix represents a separate incident).


In alternative embodiments, the data is collected and input into the database or generated from a new event, which is activated and produces initial results (see, e.g., FIG. 2A). Data gets added in real-time as it becomes available. Data may be obtained from any number of existing databases, news reports, business information, personal information, financial information, medical information, vehicle information and the like. Generally the data can take any form currently available and identified for various purposes.


In alternative embodiments, the data being collected has stabilized or the activated event is forced to process the acquired data. The strands with most complete nodes and variables are selected and aligned based on similarity, e.g., as illustrated in FIG. 2B.


In alternative embodiments, the data is prepared for analysis and nodes are verified for accuracy and errors. Similar structures are checked and geospatial information is gathered and distributed. Archive data structures or library are referenced, e.g., as illustrated in FIG. 3A.


In alternative embodiments, the system corrects and realigns the nodes, if needed, and produces geo-spatial processing of data with location, time, and variables. This process curves the processed data sets and sections creating a visually similar structure to the biological DNA strand (FIG. 3B). Non-matching (non-complementary) strands are removed and used for realignment with other strands.


In alternative embodiments, upon identification of a pattern then the system begins to process all the information associated with the strands and gathers information from alternate sources (if available) and restructures the strands for stability, e.g., as illustrated in FIG. 4A.


In alternative embodiments, the strands when complete are reproduced for BRAIN (Binary Risk Analysis Intelligence Network) to process and IAN (Information Analysis Network) to store. The replicated information begins to be received in stage 1 and continually adds additional information until stage 5. The two strands generally will have shifted in shape and similarity. The percentage of similarity in general and core variables are marked for reference and added to the strands with the identity of each partner marked into the other for future reference, e.g., as illustrated in FIG. 4B.


In alternative embodiments, Stage 7 splits the data structures back and stores them into the database (replacing the original—shorter data). The process repeats itself and provides IAN with content and BRAIN with preliminary data and probability, e.g., as illustrated in FIG. 4C.



FIG. 7 is a flow chart schematically illustrates and describes an exemplary computer-implemented embodiment of the invention, including in one alternative embodiment: steps: “start”, to “read in data”, to “sequence data into nodes”, to “create nodes with speciation”, to “RENUKA” (regulations, guidelines, speciation), then either to “extract pattern” then to “strand created”, or to “output result”, or to “strand created”. In one embodiment, “strand created” step” goes to “IAN (storage of all data)”, which either goes to “create library”, then to “RENUKA”, which can feed back to “create library”, or to a “create library” to “access library” to “strand matching” to “output result” path (which alternatively can be either: a “create library” to “access library” to “operation validity check” to “output result” path; or, a “create library” to “access library” to “connecting the dots” to “RENUKA” path).


Data Node Archive (DNA) and BRAIN


In alternative embodiments, the computer-implemented methods of the invention comprised use of Data Node Archive (DNA), which comprises a method of visual information indexing of any type of data. This structure is designed very similarly to that of a human DNA structure for identifying the makeup of data with variables transforming into nodes. In alternative embodiments Data Node Archive becomes a coded blueprint with instructions to construct predictive analysis, information mining, and geo-spatial visualization. The patterns generated from DNA are referred to as strands. The system consists of repeating structural units known as nodes attached to a backbone (Species). The arms that extend out from the bone are categorized data elements. The code is read and translated within BRAIN, which is the reader that translates binary instructions (on/off or true/false). Binary Risk Analysis Intelligence Network (BRAIN) filters DNA; it is an application that is able to check the DNA strands for similarity and variation. The BRAIN accesses a library stored in the Information Analysis Network (IAN)—a network of libraries that store various DNA strands.


The BRAIN program has three modes—operation validity check, strand matching, and connecting the dot:

    • OPERATION VALIDITY CHECK
    • IF THE [INPUT STRAND]=[GD12312,2B,1] THEN THE DATA READS AS “The team has entered the building, the building is vacant, and bad intelligence was provided.”
    • ELSE
    • IF THE [INPUT STRAND]=[GD12312,3A,1] THEN THE DATA READS AS The team has entered the building, the building is partially occupied, and the intelligence provided is accurate.
    • ELSE
    • IF THE [INPUT STRAND]=[GD12312, X] OR [OTHER] THEN THE DATA
    • READS AS “The data received is not functional” or “Error”.
    • STRAND MATCHING


BRAIN searches the speciation for the arms that can accept the possible strand. For example a strand coming back with a format GD123XX, X, A32 will be searched across the GD stream to the entire possible message that could be translated from the message. Then refines it based on the probability based on guidelines set forth in regulatory library known as (RENUKA).


The server collects data from either a data mining process or user input. The information is updated in real-time as changes occur within the data sets. The Data Node Archive creates a detailed structure for data and offers the ability to visualize them in a geo-spatial context. The database stores information and sorts the variables to generate the strands for pattern recognition and data analysis. The matches are based on similarity in complete pattern or amongst arms of the strands. In a few of the nodes, most of the variables may match, however a slight difference can even make a difference.


An example would be the births of two identical twins that share exact genes produce a match of only 98% based on 100 variables in the Node Archive Strand because the time of birth and the name given at birth is different. As they grow older their similarity level becomes less and the variables go up. At the age of one (1) the child could have a 95% similarity with 10,000 variables logged—however that doesn't change the fact they are identical twins and at the first glance even their own parents cannot tell them apart.


Another use of this technology is to communicate battleground information for the troops. The patterns are transmitted as DATA NODES and a line with two vertical lines are transmitted as 1,1A,2B. The first number one (1) represents the line and one A (1A) refers to the first vertical line, and one B (1B) refers to the second vertical line. The transmission of 1,2B could translate into “Abort” and 1,1A could mean “Engage”. The strand 1 can be an instruction for an operative in a particular operation (known as “Species” in the DNA). The structure is based on nodes (stem-category) and arms (variables) that are attached to the backbone (Species); hence, these objects may vary greatly in size, shape, and volume.


In alternative embodiments, the strands when complete are reproduced for BRAIN (Binary Risk Analysis Intelligence Network) to process and IAN (Information Analysis Network) to store:

The information processed internally is that the team has entered the building, the building is vacant, and bad intelligence was provided. If the code were to omit the one (1) at the end then the “bad intelligence was provided” would not be included.


An example of DNA STRAND [GD12312] within IAN: for processing by BRAIN for a Binary Data Matching is illustrated in FIG. 5, which can be visualized in 3D.


BRAIN Matching:


The tag [GD12312,2B,1], will cross reference all [GDXXXXX,2B,1] to see all operations within the network that had a team enter a building, the building is vacant, and bad intelligence was provided. The ability to pick and choose patterns of failure and errors can help connect the intelligence “dots” to strengthen national security and defense.


Implementation:


DNA can be implemented for wide range of information exchange ranging from counter terrorism to unencrypted data transfer of classified information. The OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) can generate patterns that can be matched with Closed Source Intelligence systems for information dominance.


The possible implications make DNA a valuable tool for government, non-governmental agencies, private organizations, and interest groups alike. An example of private organization use is an energy company offering tools for consumers to be more active of their power efficiency without sacrificing user privacy and security with implementation of things such as “smart meter”.


Speciation (RENUKA):


The categories of data within libraries are generated through speciation (splitting of lineages). The regulations for speciation are stored within RENUKA (Regulatory Environment Norms Under Known Adaptation). RENUKA is an evolving library of species and regulations (both local and global) and the values of nodes. Like nature there are four geographic modes of speciation—they are allopathic (a population splits into two geographically isolated populations), peripatric (a subform of allopatric speciation where a new species are formed in isolated), parapatric (there is only partial separation of the zones of two diverging populations afforded by geography), and sympatric (species diverge while inhabiting the same place).


Example of [GD12312] DNA Strand Stored Inside IAN:





    • [GD12312]=The team has entered the building.

    • [GD12312,1A]=The team has entered the building, the building is occupied.

    • [GD12312,2B]=The team has entered the building, the building is vacant.

    • [GD12312,2B,1]=The team has entered the building, the building is vacant, and bad intelligence was provided.

    • [GD12312,3A]=The team has entered the building, the building is partially occupied.

    • [GD12312,3A,1]=The team has entered the building, the building is partially occupied,

    • and the intelligence provided is accurate.


      *Such communication limits the information leak and protects privacy of the operators or individuals that the data is being communicated about.





Dimensions


The dimensions are created for tiled searching of strands. The DNA strands are aligned using a relationship tool. Each has a 360-degree tilt. Each degree or sub degrees take the relationship into a new direction. An example of a dimensions chart is in FIG. 6. The grey strand represents the Species and the two orange is the intersection point (shared feature from another species). Tiling on (zooming in to) any of these points can change the course of the search into another relationship. This helps to “connect the dots”.


Structured Altering


In alternative embodiments, structured altering of processes and computer implemented methods of the invention can produce robust encryption techniques as altering of the data output via a mutually agreed upon sequence, shift, or algorithm for processing would completely change the apparent “species” of the information. Structured alteration of the workflow at almost every point and then re-alteration on the client side or with variables such as user name/password so that only certain people see the correct workflow or level of exactness according to their pre-agreed role such as security clearance or role in project.


Because the answers are provided out as species, which in nature are identified by things like form (e.g., cat with colors, size, hair, eye color—host of features), the information can also be transformed into actual species that could be discerned by someone who is a “cat person” who is visually interrogating a picture or image and obtaining the critical information components that can be used as encryption components.


Using real species and relationships such as could be best understood by a biologist, botanist, or paleontologist, it would be possible to both encrypt and decrypt data by marrying real species and relationships to Data Node Archive relationships.


Much like DNA can be compared and relative closeness and relationships determined, the shapes and relationships (categories) of data can be defined to produce a multi-dimensional (3D plus time plus other attributes like color, transparency, sound, brightness) display of relationships to data. As an example, data patterns equated to sound can be compared with other data patterns to show similarity or differences (same tune, similar tune, enhanced tune like jazz). All of these are simply variations on the DNA pattern and can be altered in a structured way to produce a potent encryption and cybersecurity set of tools. Similarly, data can be hidden in the data (as using the spaces in a message as an additional message besides what the letters and words say). So, adding data to data such as adding a bug on the back of a cow would provide a separate pathway to move information, much as the DNA of the bug provides different information than the cow, but both are DNA and are together. Nested data, such as DNA in the bacteria of a cow's stomach, could be contained with DNA (Data Node Archive) “wrappers” covering smaller nodes inside the larger node. This is functionally using DNA as building blocks to build large DNA components.
