Patent attributes
A computing environment of the invention comprises a graph structure, or multiple interconnected graph structures, the behavior of which is driven by data flow through interconnected nodes, independent of an external code base. The computer system may include a plurality of interconnected nodes in which data flow between the nodes drives execution of one or more functions and wherein code within the system is restricted to said nodes, each of which performs a dedicated function and an engine to drive communication between said system and operating hardware. Data are injected into a node and the node responds by outputting a value (data) to one or more subsequent nodes. Those nodes, in turn, output a behavior that is dependent upon the value (data) they received from one or more other nodes. Thus, it is the data that drives operation of the graph and not a traditional code stack.
