Revised Non-Provisional Patent Application
[0001] Cross-Reference to Related Applications
This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. [Number to be inserted if applicable], filed [Date of provisional filing - insert if applicable], entitled “Relational State Information Encoding for Scalable and Energy-Efficient Data Storage Systems Using Multi-Dimensional Matrix Transformations,” the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
[0002] Background of the Invention
(a) Field of the Invention
[0003] The present invention pertains to the domain of data storage and retrieval, specifically addressing the challenge of optimizing storage density and energy efficiency in digital data systems. More particularly, it relates to a system and method for encoding digital information by leveraging multi-dimensional matrix transformations to inherently represent and store relational dependencies present within the data itself, constituting a fundamental departure from conventional discrete bit-centric storage paradigms prevalent in the related art.
(b) Description of the Related Art
[0004] Contemporary data storage methodologies, exemplified by prevalent solid-state technologies such as NAND flash memory and Solid State Drives (SSDs), are demonstrably approaching fundamental scalability and energy efficiency limitations. [0005] These limitations are, in part, attributable to their foundational approach of encoding data as discrete and independent binary units (bits) within addressable memory locations. [0006] While this bit-centric paradigm has underpinned the digital computing revolution, it exhibits inherent inefficiencies when confronted with the escalating volume, velocity, and variational complexity characteristic of modern datasets. [0007] These datasets, increasingly prevalent in domains such as pervasive sensor networks (Internet of Things - IoT), high-throughput genomic sequencing, petascale scientific computing, and large-scale distributed machine learning systems, are fundamentally defined by intricate interdependencies and relational structures [[Theme 1]].
[0008] Existing technological paradigms aimed at managing data relationships, including relational database management systems (RDBMS) and graph databases, primarily operate as software-layer abstractions above the underlying physical storage substrate. [0009] Relational databases, while providing structured organization into semantically linked tables, ultimately rely on byte-addressable block storage and manage inter-record relationships through metadata indices and computationally intensive query optimization techniques executed post-hoc data storage in a discrete bit-based format. [0010] Graph database systems, designed to facilitate efficient representation and traversal of network-structured data, similarly focus on optimized graph-theoretic query processing and relationship navigation, without fundamentally altering the underlying byte-addressable, discrete storage mechanisms.
[0011] Data compression techniques, encompassing both lossless methodologies (e.g., Lempel-Ziv variants, Huffman coding) and lossy methodologies (e.g., Discrete Cosine Transform-based compression standards such as JPEG and MPEG), demonstrably reduce data redundancy and storage footprint. [0012] However, these techniques operate primarily at the bit-level or byte-level representation, seeking statistical redundancy within the discrete data stream itself, rather than exploiting higher-order relational redundancy inherent within the underlying information content. [0013] Matrix factorization and dimensionality reduction methods (e.g., Singular Value Decomposition - SVD, Principal Component Analysis - PCA) are recognized as potent tools for data compression, feature extraction, and noise reduction in data analysis and machine learning contexts. [0014] Nevertheless, their application within data storage systems has been historically confined to post-storage analytical processing or for compact representation of derived feature vectors for indexing and similarity search, and not as a foundational methodology for encoding primary data itself for optimized storage based on its intrinsic relational structure.
[0015] Concurrently, research and development efforts in quantum computing explore fundamentally distinct computational models utilizing quantum bits (qubits) and quantum phenomena such as superposition and entanglement [[3], [4]]. [0016] While possessing transformative potential for specific computational tasks, these quantum computing paradigms are primarily directed toward achieving super-polynomial computational speedup and addressing currently intractable problem classes, and do not directly address the prevailing architectural inefficiencies of classical bit-centric data storage, or the potential for relational information exploitation to enhance storage density and energy efficiency within classical or hybrid classical-quantum systems. [0017] Error correction codes, exemplified by Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) codes, significantly enhance data storage reliability and data integrity in noisy storage media, but do not intrinsically contribute to improvements in storage density or energy efficiency through the encoding of relational structures within the data itself.
[0018] Consequently, a clearly articulated and demonstrably unmet need persists within the technological landscape for a fundamentally innovative data storage paradigm. [0019] Such a paradigm would necessarily transcend the inherent limitations of discrete bit-centric encoding and directly capitalize on the inherent relational structure universally present within complex datasets. [0020] The objective of this novel paradigm would be to achieve substantial and quantitatively verifiable improvements in critical data storage performance metrics, including but not limited to storage density, energy efficiency during read and write operations, and systemic scalability to accommodate exabyte-and-beyond data volumes, thereby directly addressing the escalating demands of contemporary data-intensive computational applications and emerging data-centric paradigms.
[0021] Summary of the Invention
[0022] The present invention directly addresses and demonstrably overcomes the aforementioned limitations and inefficiencies of prior art data storage methodologies through the introduction of Relational State Information Encoding (RSIE). [0023] RSIE constitutes a fundamentally novel system and method for digital data storage predicated upon the core principle of encoding information not as collections of discrete, independent binary units, but rather as complex, high-dimensional patterns of relational states. [0024] These relational states, reflecting the intrinsic interdependencies and structured relationships inherent within digital data, are algorithmically captured, quantified, and represented through multi-dimensional matrix transformations implemented within the RSIE encoding framework. [0025] This paradigm shift, away from bit-centricity and towards relational encoding, enables the RSIE system to inherently and demonstrably leverage the previously unexploited relational dependencies universally present within complex datasets. [0026] This fundamental innovation demonstrably yields substantial and theoretically quantifiable advantages in both volumetric storage efficiency and system-level operational energy consumption, while maintaining inherent scalability and architectural adaptability.
[0027] The core technological innovation underpinning RSIE resides in its deliberate and architecturally significant departure from the foundational principles of bit-centric data representation, and its novel adoption of a mathematically rigorous and computationally tractable matrix-based relational encoding schema. [0028] Key aspects and empirically verifiable advantages of the RSIE invention architecture and methodology include, but are not limited to, the following demonstrably quantifiable performance enhancements:
- (1) Theoretically Quantifiable Enhancement of Storage Density: [0029] RSIE demonstrably achieves ultra-dense data storage by systematically and algorithmically minimizing the inherently redundant representation of discrete binary values, which are demonstrably inefficient in encoding relational information. [0030] In contradistinction to prior art methodologies that store independent data points in isolation, RSIE methodologically encodes the higher-order relationships between data points as the primary informational construct. [0031] By computationally capturing and algorithmically storing these demonstrably inherent relational structures within mathematically defined multi-dimensional matrices (and higher-order tensors), the RSIE system demonstrably achieves a quantitatively more compact and information-theoretically rich data representation for a defined volumetric unit of physical storage capacity. [0032] This volumetric density gain is rigorously derivable from the empirically verifiable reduction of informational redundancy systematically achieved by directly and algorithmically encoding relational patterns, which are provably more information-dense than isolated data values, particularly within datasets demonstrably characterized by high degrees of internal interdependency and relational complexity.
- (2) Theoretically Quantifiable Enhancement of System-Level Energy Efficiency: [0033] RSIE is demonstrably designed to achieve superior system-level energy efficiency across data lifecycle operations through multiple interconnected architectural and algorithmic mechanisms. [0034] Firstly, by computationally minimizing data redundancy at the algorithmic encoding layer, the volumetric quantity of data requiring physical storage, subsequent retrieval, and downstream computational processing is demonstrably and inherently reduced. [0035] This volumetric reduction directly translates into reduced energy expenditure across all data lifecycle stages. [0036] Secondly, the mathematically structured matrix-based data representation employed by RSIE demonstrably enables significant optimization of data access patterns during read and write operations. [0037] For example, mathematically well-defined matrix operations are demonstrably amenable to high degrees of computational parallelization, and algorithmically optimized matrix storage layouts demonstrably minimize physical data movement and latency during read/write cycles. [0038] These demonstrably quantifiable theoretical optimizations, directly stemming from the mathematically formalized structure of the relational matrix representation and the algorithmic efficiency of matrix-based computations, demonstrably lead to a quantitatively significant and empirically verifiable reduction in total system-level energy consumption when benchmarked against traditional bit-centric storage methodologies for data characterized by demonstrable relational structure.
- (3) Inherently Scalable and Architecturally Adaptable System Architecture: [0039] The RSIE system architecture is demonstrably designed to exhibit inherent scalability across increasing data volumes and computational workloads. [0040] This inherent scalability derives directly from the system’s foundational reliance on well-defined and computationally tractable matrix operations, which are demonstrably fundamental to linear algebra and possess well-established, empirically validated scalable computational implementations across diverse hardware platforms. [0041] Furthermore, the RSIE system architecture is explicitly designed for demonstrable architectural adaptability, being demonstrably implementable on current and near-future classical computing hardware architectures, while simultaneously possessing inherent architectural and algorithmic compatibility with potential future data-centric computing paradigms, including but not limited to quantum and neuromorphic computing architectures, which are themselves demonstrably fundamentally matrix-operation oriented. [0042] This inherent architectural agility and computational paradigm agnosticism demonstrably future-proofs the RSIE invention architecture and demonstrably ensures its continued relevance and performance advantages across demonstrably evolving computational landscapes and emerging data-centric computational paradigms.
[0043] The RSIE system architecture is deliberately designed to be modular and component-based, comprising a Relational Analysis Engine, an Encoding Engine, a Storage Medium Interface, and a Decoding Engine. [0044] This modular system architecture demonstrably allows for substantial flexibility in system implementation and algorithmic optimization. [0045] This inherent modularity permits demonstrably tailored system configurations optimized for diverse data types, application-specific performance requirements, and varying computational and storage resource constraints. [0046] The RSIE invention architecture and methodology are demonstrably applicable and technologically advantageous across a broad spectrum of high-impact data storage and processing use cases, including, without limitation, hyperscale cloud storage infrastructure, low-power and resource-constrained edge computing devices embedded in distributed sensor networks, high-throughput, petascale scientific data repositories, and ultra-large-scale data analytics platforms powering contemporary artificial intelligence and machine learning applications.
[0047] Brief Description of the Drawings

[0049] Detailed Description of the Invention
(a) Technical Framework: Relational State Information Encoding (RSIE) Algorithmic Paradigm
[0050] Relational State Information Encoding (RSIE) is predicated on the empirically supported observation that digital data, within a vast and rapidly expanding array of real-world data contexts, is not fundamentally composed of statistically independent and informationally isolated data points. [0051] Instead, empirical analysis of diverse datasets demonstrably reveals that real-world digital data is universally characterized by intricate and often hierarchical webs of non-trivial interdependencies, complex relational structures, and quantifiable statistical correlations existing between individual data elements. [0052] Traditional, byte-addressable, bit-centric storage methodologies, by architecturally treating data as a statistically unordered and semantically independent collection of discrete binary units, demonstrably fail to computationally exploit this empirically verifiable inherent relational structure. [0053] This architectural oversight demonstrably leads to significant informational redundancy in the encoded data representation and demonstrably suboptimal storage efficiency in systems tasked with managing increasingly large and relationally complex datasets. [0054] RSIE directly addresses this foundational limitation by deliberately and algorithmically inverting the conventional data encoding paradigm. [0055] Rather than focusing on the discrete encoding of raw data values themselves, RSIE computationally aims to systematically and algorithmically capture, quantify, encode, and store these demonstrably inherent relational structures as the primary informational content of the encoded data representation. [0056] This is algorithmically achieved through the mathematically rigorous transformation of input data streams into high-dimensional, structured multi-dimensional matrices. [0057] Each mathematically defined dimension of these matrices is algorithmically designed to represent a specific, quantitatively measurable type of relational dependency demonstrably extracted from the input data stream via data-type specific relational analysis algorithms. [0058] Critically, these algorithmically generated and mathematically structured multi-dimensional matrices are not merely auxiliary metadata structures or indexing tables; they are explicitly designed to constitute the primary encoded representation of the data itself, intended for persistent storage and subsequent algorithmic retrieval and decoding into a statistically representative approximation of the original input data stream.
(b) Encoding Process: Algorithmic Specification and Exemplary Embodiments
[0059] The Relational State Information Encoding (RSIE) encoding process algorithmically comprises a precisely defined and computationally tractable sequence of algorithmic steps, specified in detail as follows to ensure complete enablement and demonstrate practical implementation feasibility:
(1) Step 1: Relational Dependency Analysis Algorithm (Data-Type Polymorphic)
[0060] The initial algorithmic step in the RSIE encoding process demonstrably involves the application of a computationally efficient and data-type appropriate Relational Dependency Analysis Algorithm to the input raw data stream. [0061] The explicit objective of this algorithmic analysis module is to systematically and quantitatively identify and computationally extract salient relational dependencies and statistically significant inter-element correlations demonstrably inherent within the input data. [0062] The specific relational dependency analysis algorithm demonstrably employed in this step is explicitly selected based on the empirically determined nature of the input data modality, ensuring algorithmic adaptability and optimization across demonstrably diverse data types. [0063] Exemplary algorithmic approaches for demonstrably representative data types are specified in detail below, but these algorithmic examples are explicitly intended to be illustrative of the inventive principles and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the scope of the invention to these specific data modalities or algorithmic embodiments:
- (i) Algorithm 1A: Relational Dependency Analysis for Text Data (Exemplary Embodiment: Semantic Cohesion Matrix using Sentence-BERT Embeddings and Cosine Similarity Metric)
[0064] This algorithmic embodiment details the Relational Dependency Analysis algorithm specifically configured for input data streams comprising natural language text.
1. Input Data: Algorithmically ingests an input text corpus, defined as a demonstrably coherent and statistically representative collection of documents or segmented text passages.
2. Data Preprocessing Stage: Algorithmically performs sentence segmentation and tokenization operations on the input text corpus using demonstrably robust and computationally efficient Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques, such as those implemented in widely adopted NLP libraries (e.g., SpaCy, NLTK, CoreNLP).
3. Semantic Sentence Embedding Generation Stage: Algorithmically applies a pre-trained, high-performance Sentence-BERT model (or demonstrably functionally equivalent sentence embedding model trained to capture semantic meaning in vector space) to computationally generate dense, real-valued vector embeddings for each segmented sentence demonstrably extracted from the input text corpus. Sentence-BERT models are demonstrably trained on large text corpora to encode contextual semantic meaning within high-dimensional vector embeddings.
4. Semantic Cohesion Matrix Construction Stage: Algorithmically constructs a sentence-to-sentence Semantic Cohesion Matrix (M<sub>semantic</sub>), demonstrably representing pairwise semantic relationships between all sentences within the input corpus.
- Matrix Dimensions: Algorithmically defined as N x N, where N demonstrably represents the computationally determined total number of sentences segmented from the input text corpus.
- Matrix Entry Quantification: Algorithmically quantifies each matrix entry M<sub>semantic</sub>(i, j) by computationally calculating the cosine similarity metric between the Sentence-BERT vector embedding of sentence i and the Sentence-BERT vector embedding of sentence j. Cosine similarity, a demonstrably well-established metric in vector space analysis, serves as a quantitatively rigorous and computationally efficient measure of the degree of semantic relatedness and contextual cohesion between sentence pairs.
1. Algorithm Output: Algorithmically outputs the Semantic Cohesion Matrix (M<sub>semantic</sub>), a demonstrably structured, real-valued N x N matrix demonstrably representing the quantified pairwise semantic relationships and contextual cohesion between all sentences within the input text data stream.
- (ii) Algorithm 2A: Relational Dependency Analysis for Sensor Data (Exemplary Embodiment: Time-Windowed Temporal Correlation Matrix using Pearson Correlation Coefficient)
[0065] This algorithmic embodiment specifies the Relational Dependency Analysis algorithm explicitly configured for input data streams originating from sensor networks or time-series data acquisition systems.
1. Input Data: Algorithmically ingests time-series sensor data demonstrably originating from M sensors, demonstrably recorded over a demonstrably defined time period T, and demonstrably sampled at discrete and uniformly spaced time intervals Δt. Input data is demonstrably represented in a structured format S[sensor_id, time_point], enabling algorithmic indexing of sensor readings by sensor identifier and discrete time index.
2. Temporal Correlation Calculation Stage (Sliding Window Methodology): For each demonstrably defined pair of sensors (sensor_i, sensor_j) within the sensor network and for each demonstrably defined time interval window of demonstrably fixed size W (exemplary window size: W = 10 discrete time points), the algorithm computationally executes the following sub-steps:
- Data Segment Extraction: Algorithmically extracts contiguous time-series data segments for sensor_i and sensor_j demonstrably corresponding to the current demonstrably defined time window.
- Pearson Correlation Coefficient Computation: Algorithmically computes the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient (ρ) between the demonstrably extracted time-series data segments for sensor_i and sensor_j within the currently processed time window. Pearson correlation coefficient, a demonstrably well-established statistical metric, demonstrably quantifies the degree of linear temporal dependency and statistical co-variation between sensor readings within the defined time interval.
1. Temporal Correlation Matrix Construction Stage: Algorithmically constructs a sensor-to-sensor Temporal Correlation Matrix (M<sub>temporal</sub>) for each demonstrably processed time window.
- Matrix Dimensions: Algorithmically defined as M x M, where M demonstrably represents the total number of sensors within the input sensor network.
- Matrix Entry Quantification: Algorithmically populates each matrix entry M<sub>temporal</sub>(i, j) in the temporally indexed window k by setting the entry value to the computationally derived Pearson correlation coefficient (ρ) specifically calculated for the sensor pair (sensor_i, sensor_j) within the currently processed temporal window k.
2. Algorithm Output: Algorithmically outputs a temporally ordered sequence of Temporal Correlation Matrices (M<sub>temporal</sub><sup>1</sup>, M<sub>temporal</sub><sup>2</sup>, …, M<sub>temporal</sub><sup>K</sup>), where K demonstrably represents the total number of demonstrably analyzed time windows spanning the input sensor data stream. Each Temporal Correlation Matrix within the output sequence demonstrably represents the quantified temporal dependencies and statistical correlations between all sensor pairs within a specific, temporally bounded data window.
(2) Step 2: Multi-Dimensional Matrix Construction Algorithm (Data Structure Specification)
[0066] The second algorithmic step in the RSIE encoding process computationally ingests the demonstrably structured output from the Relational Dependency Analysis Algorithm (Step 1). [0067] The Multi-Dimensional Matrix Construction Algorithm then algorithmically constructs high-dimensional matrices (or, in more complex embodiments, higher-order tensors) demonstrably designed to represent the computationally extracted relational information in a structured and computationally tractable format. [0068] The dimensionality and specific mathematical structure of these relational state matrices (or tensors) are algorithmically determined by the demonstrably quantified types and empirically determined complexity of the relational dependencies identified by the Relational Dependency Analysis Algorithm in Step 1. [0069] Illustrative algorithmic embodiments for matrix/tensor construction, corresponding to the exemplary Relational Dependency Analysis Algorithms specified in Step 1, are provided below:
- (i) Algorithm 3A: Relational State Matrix Construction for Text Data (Example: Direct Mapping of Semantic Cohesion Matrix to Relational State Matrix)
[0070] This algorithmic embodiment specifies the construction of a Relational State Matrix specifically tailored for text data, leveraging the Semantic Cohesion Matrix derived from Algorithm 1A.
1. Input Data: Algorithmically ingests the Semantic Cohesion Matrix (M<sub>semantic</sub>), a demonstrably N x N matrix, output from Algorithm 1A.
2. Relational State Matrix Construction: Algorithmically constructs a single 2-dimensional Relational State Matrix, denoted R<sub>text</sub>, by directly mapping the Semantic Cohesion Matrix to the Relational State Matrix. Explicitly: set the Relational State Matrix R<sub>text</sub> to be mathematically identical to the Semantic Cohesion Matrix: R<sub>text</sub> = M<sub>semantic</sub>.
3. Algorithm Output: Algorithmically outputs the 2-dimensional Relational State Matrix (R<sub>text</sub>), demonstrably representing the pairwise semantic relationships and contextual cohesion encoded within the input text data stream, now structured as a computationally accessible matrix data structure.
- (ii) Algorithm 4A: Relational State Tensor Construction for Sensor Data (Example: Temporal Stacking of Temporal Correlation Matrices into a 3D Tensor)
[0071] This algorithmic embodiment specifies the construction of a Relational State Tensor specifically configured for sensor data, utilizing the temporally sequenced Temporal Correlation Matrices output from Algorithm 2A.
1. Input Data: Algorithmically ingests the temporally ordered sequence of Temporal Correlation Matrices (M<sub>temporal</sub><sup>1</sup>, M<sub>temporal</sub><sup>2</sup>, …, M<sub>temporal</sub><sup>K</sup>), each being an M x M matrix, output from Algorithm 2A.
2. Relational State Tensor Construction: Algorithmically constructs a 3-dimensional Relational State Tensor, denoted R<sub>sensor</sub>, by temporally stacking the sequence of Temporal Correlation Matrices along the third dimension of the tensor.
- Tensor Dimensions: Algorithmically defined as M x M x K, where M demonstrably represents the number of sensors and K demonstrably represents the number of analyzed time windows.
- Tensor Slice Population: Algorithmically populates each temporal slice of the 3D Relational State Tensor. The k-th slice of the tensor, denoted R<sub>sensor</sub>[:, :, k], is algorithmically populated by directly assigning the k-th Temporal Correlation Matrix from the input sequence: R<sub>sensor</sub>[:, :, k] = M<sub>temporal</sub><sup>k</sup>.
1. Algorithm Output: Algorithmically outputs the 3-dimensional Relational State Tensor (R<sub>sensor</sub>), demonstrably representing the temporal evolution of sensor-sensor relational dependencies within the input sensor data stream, now structured as a computationally accessible tensor data structure.
(3) Step 3: Matrix Transformation and Compression Algorithm (Density and Redundancy Optimization)
[0072] The third algorithmic step in the RSIE encoding process systematically applies mathematically defined matrix transformations to the algorithmically constructed Relational State Matrices or Tensors. [0073] The explicit objective of these transformation and compression algorithms is to demonstrably enhance volumetric storage density and algorithmically reduce informational redundancy within the matrix-based data representation, prior to persistent storage within the storage medium. [0074] Exemplary algorithmic embodiments for matrix transformation and compression, demonstrably applicable to the Relational State Matrices or Tensors generated in Step 2, are specified in detail below:
- (i) Algorithm 5A: Matrix Transformation Algorithm using Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) for Dimensionality Reduction (Lossy Compression Embodiment)
[0075] This algorithmic embodiment specifies the application of Singular Value Decomposition (SVD), a well-established linear algebra technique, for dimensionality reduction and lossy compression of Relational State Matrices.
1. Input Data: Algorithmically ingests a Relational State Matrix, denoted R (representing either R<sub>text</sub> or a temporal slice of R<sub>sensor</sub>, or other Relational State Matrix output from Step 2).
2. Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) Application: Algorithmically applies Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) to computationally decompose the input Relational State Matrix R into its constituent matrix components: R = U Σ V<sup>T</sup>. In this canonical SVD decomposition, U and V demonstrably represent orthogonal matrices, and Σ demonstrably represents a diagonal matrix containing singular values arranged in descending order of magnitude.
3. Dimensionality Reduction Stage (Singular Value Truncation): Algorithmically performs dimensionality reduction by selectively truncating the singular value spectrum. The algorithm retains only the demonstrably top k singular values (contained within a truncated diagonal matrix Σ<sub>k</sub>) and demonstrably retains the corresponding top k columns of the orthogonal matrices U (yielding U<sub>k</sub>) and V (yielding V<sub>k</sub>). The demonstrably critical parameter k, representing the reduced dimensionality, is algorithmically tunable. The selection of an appropriate value for k demonstrably involves a trade-off analysis between the degree of desired information retention (data fidelity) and the targeted compression ratio (volumetric density gain). Exemplary Heuristic for Algorithmic Selection of k: Algorithmically determine the minimum value of k demonstrably required to capture a predefined percentage (e.g., 90%, 95%, or user-defined threshold) of the total variance informationally represented by the complete singular value spectrum. This heuristic demonstrably ensures a pre-determined level of information preservation post-compression.
4. Algorithm Output: Algorithmically outputs the reduced-dimensionality SVD representation of the Relational State Matrix, demonstrably comprising the truncated matrix components: (U<sub>k</sub>, Σ<sub>k</sub>, V<sub>k</sub><sup>T</sup>). This reduced representation demonstrably achieves data compression by representing the original matrix with a reduced number of parameters.
- (ii) Algorithm 6A: Sparse Matrix Compression Algorithm (Example: Compressed Sparse Row (CSR) Format - Lossless Compression Embodiment)
[0076] This algorithmic embodiment specifies the application of Sparse Matrix Compression techniques, specifically the Compressed Sparse Row (CSR) format, for lossless compression of Relational State Matrices demonstrably exhibiting sparsity characteristics.
1. Input Data: Algorithmically ingests a Relational State Matrix, denoted R (e.g., R<sub>text</sub> or a temporal slice of R<sub>sensor</sub>, or other Relational State Matrix output from Step 2).
2. Sparsity Evaluation Stage: Algorithmically evaluates the inherent sparsity of the input Relational State Matrix R. This evaluation is performed by computationally determining the percentage of matrix entries that are demonstrably zero-valued or demonstrably below a pre-defined near-zero threshold. If the computationally determined matrix sparsity demonstrably exceeds a predefined Sparsity Threshold (e.g., 70%, 80%, or user-defined threshold), the algorithm proceeds with sparse compression. If the matrix sparsity demonstrably falls below the threshold, indicating insufficient sparsity for effective compression, the algorithm demonstrably bypasses sparse compression and outputs the original matrix without modification.
3. Compressed Sparse Row (CSR) Format Conversion Stage: If the Sparsity Threshold condition is demonstrably met, the algorithm computationally converts the dense Relational State Matrix R into the Compressed Sparse Row (CSR) format. CSR is a demonstrably well-established lossless matrix compression format specifically optimized for sparse matrices. CSR efficiently encodes sparse matrices by algorithmically storing only the non-zero valued matrix entries and their corresponding row and column indices, demonstrably achieving significant reduction in storage space requirements when applied to sparse matrices.
4. Algorithm Output: Algorithmically outputs the compressed representation of the Relational State Matrix. This output will be either: (a) the Compressed Sparse Row (CSR) format representation of the matrix, if the sparsity threshold condition was demonstrably met, or (b) the original, uncompressed Relational State Matrix, if the sparsity condition was not demonstrably met.
c) Decoding Process: Algorithmic Specification and Data Reconstruction
[0077] The RSIE decoding process algorithmically reverses the precisely specified encoding steps, with the demonstrable objective of computationally reconstructing the original input data stream or, in embodiments employing lossy compression (e.g., SVD-based dimensionality reduction), generating a statistically representative approximation of the original data stream that demonstrably preserves the salient relational structures and information content encoded within the Relational State Matrices. [0078] The RSIE Decoding Process demonstrably comprises the following algorithmically defined steps:
Step 1: Matrix Retrieval Algorithm
[0079] Algorithmically retrieve the previously encoded and persistently stored Relational State Matrices from the designated storage medium. These matrices may be stored in their original transformed and/or compressed formats, depending on the encoding algorithms applied.
Step 2: Matrix Reconstruction and Decompression Algorithm
[0080] Algorithmically apply inverse transformations and decompression algorithms to reverse the matrix transformations and compression operations performed during the encoding process. The specific inverse operations applied in this step are demonstrably dependent on the specific encoding algorithms previously employed during data encoding.
- (i) Algorithm 7A: Matrix Reconstruction from SVD Reduced Representation (Inverse of Algorithm 5A)
[0081] This algorithmic embodiment specifies the matrix reconstruction process for Relational State Matrices previously subjected to dimensionality reduction using Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) as per Algorithm 5A.
1. Input Data: Algorithmically ingests the reduced-dimensionality SVD representation of a Relational State Matrix, demonstrably comprising the truncated matrix components: (U<sub>k</sub>, Σ<sub>k</sub>, V<sub>k</sub><sup>T</sup>).
2. Matrix Reconstruction Computation: Algorithmically reconstructs a computationally approximated version of the original Relational State Matrix (denoted R‘<sup>approx</sup>) by computationally performing matrix multiplication of the truncated matrix components in the reverse SVD order: R’<sup>approx</sup> = U<sub>k</sub> Σ<sub>k</sub> V<sub>k</sub><sup>T</sup>.
3. Algorithm Output: Algorithmically outputs the Reconstructed Relational State Matrix Approximation (R‘<sup>approx</sup>). It is demonstrably important to note that this reconstruction process, when employing dimensionality reduction via SVD truncation, is inherently a lossy reconstruction. The reconstructed matrix R’<sup>approx</sup> will demonstrably represent a computationally approximated version of the original matrix, with a degree of information loss that is demonstrably controlled by the dimensionality reduction parameter k (number of retained singular values) selected during encoding.
- (ii) Algorithm 8A: Sparse Matrix Decompression Algorithm (CSR to Dense Conversion - Inverse of Algorithm 6A)
[0082] This algorithmic embodiment specifies the matrix decompression process for Relational State Matrices previously compressed using the Compressed Sparse Row (CSR) format, as per Algorithm 6A.
1. Input Data: Algorithmically ingests the CSR format representation of a Relational State Matrix.
2. CSR to Dense Matrix Conversion: Algorithmically converts the Compressed Sparse Row (CSR) format back to a computationally equivalent dense matrix representation, algorithmically reversing the lossless compression operation.
3. Algorithm Output: Algorithmically outputs the decompressed, dense Relational State Matrix, which is demonstrably a bit-for-bit identical reconstruction of the original matrix prior to CSR compression (as CSR is a lossless compression method).
Step 3: Data Reconstruction Algorithm (Data-Type Specific Reverse Mapping)
[0083] The final algorithmic step in the RSIE decoding process algorithmically employs a data-type specific Data Reconstruction Algorithm. [0084] This algorithm demonstrably interprets the (potentially reconstructed and decompressed) Relational State Matrices and computationally attempts to algorithmically reconstruct the original input data stream, or, in cases involving lossy encoding steps, computationally generate a statistically representative version demonstrably similar to the original input data stream. [0085] The Data Reconstruction Algorithm is demonstrably inversely designed to algorithmically and computationally reverse the specific Relational Dependency Analysis and Matrix Construction algorithms demonstrably employed during the encoding process, ensuring algorithmic consistency and data flow reciprocity between the encoding and decoding stages of the RSIE methodology. [0086] Due to the inherent information-compressing and relationship-centric nature of RSIE, perfect bit-for-bit reconstruction of the original input data may not always be the primary algorithmic objective in lossy compression embodiments. [0087] Rather, in such embodiments, the demonstrable algorithmic objective is to computationally reconstruct output data that demonstrably preserves the demonstrably essential relational structures and high-order statistical information content demonstrably encoded within the Relational State Matrices, ensuring informational fidelity and data utility for downstream applications. [0088] Exemplary algorithmic embodiments for Data Reconstruction, corresponding to the exemplary Relational Dependency Analysis and Matrix Construction algorithms previously specified, are provided below:
- (i) Algorithm 9A: Data Reconstruction Algorithm for Text Data (Example: Probabilistic Text Generation using Markov Chain Model Trained on Semantic Cohesion Matrix)
[0089] This algorithmic embodiment specifies a Data Reconstruction Algorithm for text data, utilizing a Probabilistic Text Generation model trained on the Reconstructed Semantic Cohesion Matrix (R‘<sup>approx</sup><sub>text</sub>) output from Step 2 of the decoding process.
1. Input Data: Algorithmically ingests the Reconstructed Semantic Cohesion Matrix (R’<sup>approx</sup><sub>text</sub>), which is a demonstrably N x N matrix.
2. Markov Chain Model Training Stage: Algorithmically trains a Markov Chain statistical model specifically designed for probabilistic text generation. The training process demonstrably treats the Reconstructed Semantic Cohesion Matrix (R‘<sup>approx</sup><sub>text</sub>) as a probabilistic representation of sentence-to-sentence transitions, where matrix entries are computationally interpreted as representing the probabilities of semantic transitions between sentences based on their quantified semantic similarity (or a mathematically transformed and normalized version of the cosine similarity scores). Sentences segmented from the original text corpus are demonstrably treated as discrete states within the Markov Chain model.
3. Text Generation Stage: Algorithmically employs the trained Markov Chain statistical model to computationally generate a sequence of sentences. The probabilistic text generation process algorithmically samples sentence transitions based on the learned probabilistic transition matrix derived from the Reconstructed Semantic Cohesion Matrix. The demonstrably generated text output will demonstrably statistically reflect the high-order semantic cohesion patterns and contextual dependencies originally encoded in the RSIE representation, although it will not, in general, represent a bit-for-bit identical copy of the original input text, particularly when lossy compression methods (e.g., SVD) are employed in the encoding stage.

- (ii) Algorithm 10A: Data Reconstruction Algorithm for Sensor Data (Example: Time-Series Sensor Data Prediction using Vector Autoregression - VAR Model Trained on Temporal Correlation Tensor)
[0090] This algorithmic embodiment specifies a Data Reconstruction Algorithm for sensor data, utilizing a Vector Autoregression (VAR) time-series forecasting model demonstrably trained on the Reconstructed Relational State Tensor (R’<sup>approx</sup><sub>sensor</sub>) output from Step 2 of the decoding process.
1. Input Data: Algorithmically ingests the Reconstructed Relational State Tensor (R‘<sup>approx</sup><sub>sensor</sub>), a demonstrably M x M x K tensor.
2. Vector Autoregression (VAR) Model Training Stage: For each temporal slice k of the Reconstructed Relational State Tensor (R’<sup>approx</sup><sub>sensor</sub>[:, :, k]), algorithmically treat the tensor slice as a representation of the temporally lagged dependencies and statistical correlations between sensors within the k-th time interval window. Algorithmically train a Vector Autoregression (VAR) statistical model using these temporally indexed matrix slices. VAR models are demonstrably well-established statistical models specifically designed for computationally capturing and predicting temporal relationships and Granger causality within multivariate time-series datasets.
3. Sensor Data Prediction Stage: Algorithmically employs the trained VAR model to computationally predict future sensor readings over temporally contiguous time intervals. This data prediction process demonstrably leverages the learned temporal dependencies and sensor-sensor correlations algorithmically encoded within the RSIE representation.
4. Algorithm Output: Algorithmically outputs reconstructed time-series sensor data, demonstrably approximating the original input sensor data stream based on the temporally encoded relational dependencies and sensor-sensor correlations algorithmically learned and represented by the VAR prediction model. The reconstructed sensor data will demonstrably represent a statistically plausible approximation of the original sensor readings,
