System and method for creating and manipulating information containers with dynamic registers
DC CAFCFirst Claim
1. An apparatus for transmitting, receiving and manipulating information on a computer system, the apparatus including a plurality of containers, each container being a logically defined data enclosure and comprising:
- an information element having information;
a plurality of registers, the plurality of registers forming part of the container and including a first register for storing a unique container identification value, a second register having a representation designating time and governing interactions of the container with other containers, systems or processes according to utility of information in the information element relative to an external-to-the-apparatus event time, an active time register for identifying times at which the container will act upon other containers, processes, systems or gateways, a passive time register for identifying times at which the container can be acted upon by other containers, processes, systems or gateways, and a neutral time register for identifying times at which the container may intersect with other containers, processes, systems or gateways; and
a gateway attached to and forming part of the container, the gateway controlling the interaction of the container with other containers, systems or processes.

Abstract
An apparatus for transmitting, receiving and manipulating information on a computer system, the apparatus including a plurality of containers, each container being a logically defined data enclosure and comprising an information element, a plurality of registers, and a gateway. The plurality of registers, form part of the container, and include a first register for storing a unique container identification value; a second register having a representation designating time and governing interactions of the container with other containers, systems or processes according to utility of information in the information element relative to an external-to-the-apparatus event time; an active time register for identifying times at which the container will act upon other containers, processes, systems or gateways; a passive time register for identifying times at which the container can be acted upon by other containers, processes, systems or gateways; and a neutral time register for identifying times at which the container may interact with other containers, processes, systems or gateways. Additional registers designate space for container interactions.

2. An apparatus for transmitting, receiving and manipulating information on a computer system, the apparatus including a plurality of containers, each container being a logically defined data enclosure and comprising:
-
an information element having information;
a plurality of registers, the plurality of registers forming part of the container and including a first register for storing a unique container identification value, a second register having a representation designating space and governing interactions of the container with other containers, systems or processes according to utility of information in the information element relative to an external-to-the-apparatus three-dimensional space, an active space register for identifying space in which the container will act upon other containers, processes, systems or gateways, a passive resister for identifying space in which the container can be acted upon by other containers, processes, systems or gateways, a neutral space register for identifying space in which the container may interact with other containers, processes, systems, or gateways; and
a gateway attached to and forming part of the container, the gateway controlling the interaction of the container with other containers, systems or processes.
