Abstract
Cells of an n-dimensional object are indexed. A plurality of indexing digits are grouped for each axis of the n dimensions of the n-dimensional object. A first indexing digit of a given group is allocated to each of at least two cells resulting from at least one subdivision of the dimension of the object along the axis of the given group; and an mth subsequent indexing digit of the given group is allocated to any subsequent at least two cells resulting from any subsequent at least one subdivision of at least one cell of the at least two cells resulting from the m−1th subdivision of the dimension of the object along the axis of the given group.
