Abstract

Claims (23)

1. A composite data structure recorded on non-transitory computer readable media for providing a computation model, the data structure comprising:

an execution pointer specifying a computation model which, when operated within a computer execution environment accomplishes actions within the computer execution environment;

an interface definition module including a pointer to an interface definition associated with the computation model, wherein the interface definition defines a finite set of inputs accepted by the model and outputs generated by the model; and

a database pointer including a pointer to a database entry associated with the execution pointer.

2. The composite data structure of claim 1 , wherein the computation model is stored in a data structure that is external to the composite data structure.

3. The composite data structure of claim 1 , wherein the database pointer points to a token stored on a decentralized ledger.

4. The composite data structure of claim 3 , wherein the token is a non-fungible token (NFT).

5. The composite data structure of claim 1 , wherein the database pointer points to a data filed in a centralized database.

6. The composite data structure of claim 1 , wherein the computation model includes one or more uni-dimensional and/or multi-dimensional matrices.

7. The composite data structure of claim 1 , wherein the execution data computation model includes an Artificial Intelligence (AI) model.

8. The composite data structure of claim 1 , further comprising a multi-dimensional input value matrix which holds multiple entries that are mapped to input variables within the computation model.

9. The composite data structure of claim 8 , wherein the input value matrix represents modifiers on execution environment parameters.

10. The composite data structure of claim 8 , wherein the multiple values of the input value matrix represent attributes of the entity.

11. The composite data structure of claim 8 , wherein the multiple values are changed as a result of entity activity.

12. The composite data structure of claim 1 , wherein the computation model represents activity of an entity in a video game, a metaverse, or an interactive web experience.

13. The composite data structure of claim 1 , wherein the interface definition specifies actions taken by the entity and rules which affect the composite data structure.

14. The composite data structure of claim 1 , wherein the composite data structure is stored in a treelike structure that links the composite data structure with other composite data structures.

15. The composite data structure of claim 1 , wherein the database pointer comprises a collection of pointers, wherein each pointer points to a collection of execution data and wherein each collection of execution data is a treelike structure that links the corresponding collection of execution data with other of the collections of execution data.

16. The composite data structure of claim 15 , wherein the AI model includes a learning module.

17. The composite data structure of claim 1 , wherein the computation model is abstracted by an execution environment, whereby the execution environment produces a unique interpretation of the computation model.

18. The composite data structure of claim 1 , wherein the interface definition module also includes metadata specifying execution environment requirements and/or variables.

19. The composite data structure of claim 1 , wherein the computation model includes executable code which interprets operations in accordance with execution data.

20. The composite data structure of claim 19 , wherein the execution code is part of a remote execution environment.
