a plurality of bytes assembled from said discrete bits, wherein each of said bytes corresponds to at least one aspect of human status.

4522. The method of claim 4521, wherein more than one byte is organized into a byte sequence.

4523. The method of claim 4521, wherein the status information is selected from the group consisting of:

physiological data, contextual data and environmental data.

4524. The method of claim 4521, wherein the status information is selected from the group consisting of:

derived data, analytical status data, contextual data, continuous data, discrete data, time series data, event data, raw data, processed data, metadata, third party data, physiological state data, psychological state data, survey data, medical data, genetic data, environmental data, transactional data, economic data, socioeconomic data, demographic data, psychographic data, sensed data, continuously monitored data, manually entered data, inputted data, real-time date, feedback loop data, relative level data and changes in levels data.

4525. The method of claim 4521, wherein the status information consists of at least two types of data selected from the group consisting of:
