1. An apparatus for transmitting, receiving and manipulating information on a computer system, the apparatus including a plurality of containers, each container being a logically defined data enclosure and comprising:

  • an information element having information;

    a plurality of registers, the plurality of registers forming part of the container and including a first register for storing a unique container identification value, a second register having a representation designating time and governing interactions of the container with other containers, systems or processes according to utility of information in the information element relative to an external-to-the-apparatus event time, an active time register for identifying times at which the container will act upon other containers, processes, systems or gateways, a passive time register for identifying times at which the container can be acted upon by other containers, processes, systems or gateways, and a neutral time register for identifying times at which the container may intersect with other containers, processes, systems or gateways; and

    a gateway attached to and forming part of the container, the gateway controlling the interaction of the container with other containers, systems or processes.
