'3D TimeData' and 'Visual Data Intelligence' are my software
prototypes that can process
any numerical data, including time series, and illustrate the
following fundamental innovations:
- in terms of mathematics,
- in terms of software,
- new methods:
- interpolation
- extrapolation
- and layering of multi-dimensional data
- in terms of application,
- the software shows complete
independence of interpretation:
- financial time series can relate shares or indices
- image data can describe any screenshot
- x/y/z co-ordinates can describe any kind of protein data
- multi-dimensional data can be produced by mathematical functions
describing any
theoretical or practical measurements
- in terms of scale,
- the software shows complete independence of length and
time periods:
- share prices can be forecast over short and long time
intervals
- image data can relate to screenshots of any size and any
resolution
- protein data can be of any complexity
- in terms of meaning or interpretation,
- a new
topology is thus on offer:
- numerical quantities can be presented on screen such that
they can be interpreted in new ways because of the
'valued added visualization'
- the software is the precursor for metrical data to be re-evaluated through programming
further '3D measures'
- modelling and simulating can be approached in new ways by my
latest '3D concepts'.

Imagination is more important than knowledge...
Albert Einstein
The imagination necessary to develop my '3D concepts'
for designing software,
required 'computer aided thinking',
using all sorts of software for combining analytical right brain with
conceptual left brain thinking.
The result are images which say more than 1000
words...
In terms of software design, this conceptual and
functional thinking requires the integration of
