1. An apparatus for compressing information, comprising:

  • means for receiving information from an information source and providing a stream of unprocessed information;

    planar atomize means for reducing the stream of unprocessed information into an atomized data stream comprising component elements of the unprocessed information;

    means for calculating entropy of arrangements of the stream of unprocessed information and providing coefficients to the planar atomize means wherein the planar atomize means creates the atomized data stream such that the atomized data stream has a greater number of recurring patterns than the stream of unprocessed information;

    planar formation means for arranging component elements of the atomized data stream of unprocessed information into a plurality of data planes;

    planar combination means for converting the plurality of data planes into a combined planar data stream having a length;

    data compression means for receiving the combined planar data stream, reducing the length of the combined planar data stream, and providing a compressed information stream; and

    means for receiving the compressed information stream.
