An analytical method and apparatus is provided for analyzing and interpreting signals from unstructured data to identify and reason about underlying concepts. The method and apparatus include functions of generating qualitative and quantitative representations of explicit semantic concepts and implicit related or associated concepts, and defining a Semantic Boundary Index used for real-time processing of unstructured data fields or streams in a manner that characterizes, stores, measures, monitors, enables transactional updates or analyses of implicit and explicit information or evidence to identify explicit and implicit or hidden semantic concept, the semantic boundary index being produced by dynamic partitioning through semiotic-based signal processing. The semiotic-based signal processing occurs through agent-based dynamic sensing, characterizing, storing, monitoring, reasoning about and partitioning of unstructured data into core semantic elements.
