          Appeal No. 1996-3706                                                        
          Application 07/854,921                                                      


          perspectives of the database (specification, page 6, lines 1-               
          4). Access is provided between presentations (Figure 4) so                  
          that subsidiary presentations can be derived from a first                   
          subsidiary presentation progeny, or presentation ancestry from              
          which the accessing subsidiary presentation was derived                     
          (specification, page 6, lines 10-14).                                       




                    Mutual coupling (Figure 4, numeral 400) is provided               
          among the variables in the same or different presentations,                 
          and occurs if a relationship exists between the displayed                   
          variables, points, or other information, either within the                  
          same presentation, or in different presentations                            
          (specification, page 6, lines 23-25). If two variables are                  
          related, a change in the first will cause a change in the                   
          second, according to a relationship between them                            
          (specification, page 5, lines 26-29).                                       
                    In an embodiment of the invention, color can be used              
          to visualize the effects of application of logical                          
          mathematical operations to displayed data (specification, page              
          6, lines 30-34) and perform logical color operations                        
                                          3
