Abstract: A chronology-centric, defined-knowledge-domain information-handling methodology supported by a system featuring (a) a dynamic EDP data repository, (b) plural EDP case-entity chronologies stored in the repository in the forms of respective, internally time-stamped and chronologically-organized groups of EDPs that effectively define, case-entity-specific, respectively different stage-and-time EDP-condition identities of particular domain-associated subject matter, and (c) data-processing engine structure connected to the repository for recurrently and progressively interacting with the data repository in relation to at least one of constructing, re-constructing, accessing, and reporting the respective organizations, contents and significances of, selected case-entity chronologies, as well, if user requested at a particular point in time, as performing, and output reporting user-sought information associated with, relevant, selected, time-and-stage EDP-content registry alignments between different case-entity ch

Abstract: A computer-based method and apparatus for assessing problems and situations in a defined knowledge domain, employing both (a) an inferential database of elemental data components, as domain-wide as possible, which are relevant to the domain, and (b) periodic statistical reviews of reported assessment results in relation to that database to establish the certainty levels of such results. The invention employs nonlinear assessment techniques likenable to human reasoning, and thereby, as well as in other ways, conducts assessment tasks in a manner that differentiates it from conventional, machine-based, linear problem resolution.
