Abstract: In methods, systems, and computing devices configured to implement methods of conveying a data file from a first computing device to a second computing device. A referential complex dataset (RCD) is stored in memory of a first computing device and a second computing device. The first computing device may compare bit strings within a data file to bit strings within the RCD to identify a matching bit string in the RCD, generate a set of rules for locating the matched bit string in the RCD, and transmit the rule set to the second computing device. The second computing device may receive the rule set, sequentially use each rule in the rule set to identify corresponding bit strings in the RCD in memory, and copy the identified bit strings into a memory to replicate the data file.
