Data Analyzer Prototype Using a K Data Structure Based on the Phaneron of C. S. Peirce

Analyzing large data sets has always been a challenge. This paper describes a prototype of a data analyzer which uses a new data structure technology to organize a data set for analysis. This data structure, called a K or Knowledge Store, is not a copy of the data set but a recording of the relationships between the elements of the data set. The K data structure resides in memory and is capable of supporting all analytic functions.
