1. A method of accessing a memory array implemented in a computer-readable medium, comprising:

  • providing data contained within a one-dimensional array of allocated memory;

    dynamically declaring a dimensional dynamic overlay on the data contained within the one-dimensional array from within a block of statements in a subroutine to initialize attributes within an array attribute storage object, wherein the dynamic overlay is defined within the subroutine and provides a dimensional view on the one-dimensional array, the dimensional dynamic overlay being capable of providing a view of at least two dimensions on the one-dimensional array; and

    accessing the data from within the block of statements as a dimensional indexed array using the array attribute storage object, and wherein the allocated memory of the one-dimensional array remains persistent and is referenced within the array attribute storage object.
