Interleaved processing of non-numerical data stored on a cyclic memory.

• The memory access delay, caused by the ’emulation’ of the random access capabilities on a sequential access memory type, is stated as a problem in Non-Numerical Data Processing and the motivation for a problem solution is provided. An adequate storage data representation and the proper organization of processing algorithms are introduced, in order to take advantage of the natural sequential access of a Cyclic Memory. In support of this approach, two published works were produced. The first paper entitled "The Utilization of Controllable Cyclic Memory Properties in Non-Numerical Data Processing" defines the conditions for the sequential evaluation of a given query. The second work "Sequential Evaluation of Boolean Functions" was derived originally as a supporting theory for the concepts presented in the first paper; namely in order to enable the sequental (per Boolean function argument) evaluation of a verification expression of a query, given as a Boolean expression of predicates of attributes of given data type. The last method however, has much broader application area e.,g., time efficient real time decision making.
