1. A data visualization method for use in a computer simulation of response of a computerized agent archetype of behavioral expression to real-world input data, comprising:

  • (a) modeling the behavioral expression of an agent as an archetype of behavioral characteristics corresponding to likely responses to real-world input data as measured across a plurality of predetermined scales of agent perception,(i) wherein said scales represent respective pre-defined behavioral modalities of agent perception across a given perceptual range;

    (ii) wherein each of said scales is graded into a plurality of levels of resolution ranging from most abstract to the agent to least abstract to the agent;

    (iii) wherein said agent archetypal behavioral expression is modeled as an expected progression in sequence across a selected series of scales according to a particular mode of progression uniquely representing the agent'"'"'s archetypal behavior, and includes an associative data matrix comprising a list of keywords for each scale of the selected series of scales that are deemed likely to have an influence on the agent'"'"'s archetype of perception on each such scale of perception, and each keyword of the list for each scale being rated for a level of resolution on which the keyword is deemed likely to have an influence on the agent'"'"'s perception on that scale;

    (b) running a computer simulation of an agent'"'"'s modeled behavioral expression against input text data from real-world information sources, and tracking the numbers and levels of matches of keywords in the input text data to the associative data matrix of keywords for the chosen series of scales, and(c) providing a visual display of a pattern of responses of the agent'"'"'s archetype of behavioral expression using the numbers and levels of keyword matches and their progression in the selected series of scales as a visualization of computer simulation data uniquely representing the response of the agent'"'"'s archetype of behavioral expression to the real-world input data,wherein said plurality of scales of agent perception is defined across a perceptual (1) range of most internal to the agent to most external to the agent;

    (2) range of smallest area of agent perception to largest are of agent perception; and

    (3) range of most temporal to the agent to most enduring to the agent.
