First Claim
1. A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for organizing and displaying information elements associated with corresponding characterization attributes on a display, comprising:
- (A) receiving a command to generate a first information element vector grouping a plurality of information elements according to a first predetermined sequence;
(B) receiving a command to select a characterization attribute;
(C) identifying information elements associated with the characterization attribute;
(D) generating a second information element vector grouping a plurality of information elements according to a second predetermined sequence; and
(E) representing the second information element vector non-parallel to the position of the representation of the first information element vector.

Abstract
A system and a method for organizing information elements in a system having a display capability which (a) generates a first information element vector based on a predetermined first characterization attribute, (b) generates a second information element vector based on a second characterization attribute, and (c) display on the display device the first information element vector non-parallel to the second information element vector. Furthermore, the method allows a user to select the characterization attributes and to visualize the information element vectors.

19. A method in a computer system for organizing and displaying information on a display, each information element having a least one characterization attribute, the method comprising:
-
(A) generating a first information element vector based on a pre-determined order;
(B) causing the display to display a representation of the first information element vector;
(C) determining a first characterization attribute based, at least in part, on an action performed on the first information element vector;
(D) generating a second information element vector based on the pre-determined first characterization attribute, the second information element vector comprising a group of information elements having the pre-determined second characterization attribute; and
(E) causing the display device to display a representation of the second information element vector non-parallel to the representation of the first information element vector.

20. In a computer system having a graphical user interface including a display and a user interface selection device, a method of presenting and accessing representations of a plurality of information elements, said method comprising:
-
(A) receiving a command to generate a first information element vector grouping a plurality of information elements according to a first predetermined sequence;
(B) representing the first information element vector on the display;
(C) selecting with the selection device a characterization attribute associated with an information element in the first information element vector;
(D) identifying information elements associated with the characterization attribute;
(E) generating a second information element vector grouping a plurality of information elements according to a second predetermined sequence; and
(F) representing the second information element vector non-parallel to the position of the representation of the first information element vector.
