1. A system for arrangement of documents, comprising:

  • a document repository storing a plurality of documents; and

    an arrangement engine coupled to the document repository, the arrangement engine operable to;

    build a plurality of symmetric matrices based upon a plurality of identified arrangements of the plurality of documents in the document repository, each symmetric matrix structured such that each row and corresponding column are associated with a particular document;

    fill each cell of each symmetric matrix with a relevance value representing a relevance between a document associated with the row of the cell and a document associated with the column of the cell;

    generate a fitness value for each symmetric matrix based upon a magnitude and a position of each relevance value by analyzing each symmetric matrix using a fitness function;

    identify an optimal arrangement of the plurality of documents based upon the fitness value of each symmetric matrix; and

    provide an optimal arrangement of documents as system output.
