1. In a computing system environment, a method of differentiating files stored on one or more computing devices, comprising:

  • over a sequence of rounds, grouping together files compressed according to an original relationship of highly occurring patterns in all bits of binary data of the uncompressed data of the files without any prior classification scheme nor metadata analysis of said files, the original relationship including a distance value between said compressed files in a multi-dimensional space;

    determining a tolerance value for the sequence of rounds based on a minimum and a maximum said distance value; and

    applying a stopping function to the grouping together.
