1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer-readable instructions that, when executed by a processor of a computer system, cause the computer system to perform operations on user-selectable elements, the operations comprising:

  • providing a first group of user-selectable elements having a first attribute in common;

    displaying the first group of user-selectable elements in a single row of consecutive user-selectable elements along a substantially rectilinear axis of user-selectable elements, in a first array thereof, in accordance with a first timeline thereof;

    providing a second group of user-selectable elements having a second attribute in common;

    displaying the second group of user-selectable elements in a single row of consecutive user-selectable elements along a substantially rectilinear axis of user-selectable elements, in a second array thereof, in accordance with a second timeline thereof independent from the first timeline, the first array of user-selectable elements and the first timeline thereof being concurrently displayed in a parallel configuration with the second array of user-selectable elements and the second timeline thereof;

    axially aligning the first timeline of the first group of user-selectable elements with the second timeline of the second group of user-selectable elements to transversally align a first specific time of the first timeline and a second specific time of the second timeline; and

    displaying a graphical identification simultaneously interacting with both the first array of user-selectable elements and the second array of user-selectable elements to identify the specific times along the first timeline and the second timeline.
