Abstract: Information is analyzed and developed by creating consolidated representations of groups of data, which are associated with context information, comprising information about relationships between the groups of data, to create representations of the groups of data. The context information is embedded as symbols in descriptions of at least some of the groups of data. The symbols are used in mapping hierarchical relationships between the groups of data. Representations having commonalities are consolidated. A data network structure having network components comprising groups of data, representations and/or consolidated representations is stored. A data network structure display is created with sounds, light, forms, textures and/or colors, and is analyzed using signal processing or mathematical techniques to review context information associated with the network components without reference to groups of data in the network components.
