Method for partial matching of data makes conventional electronic memory addressable via its contents. When implemented by suitable algorithm, method enables computer system containing memory to search memory for datum making exact or best approximate match to datum in query. Advantages are: requires neither long "learning" time nor "retraining" when additional data stored and attaches to each datum relative importance that can change with time without decreasing speed of retrieval. Responses include exact or approximate recollection, indications of ambiguity, avoidance, and even forgetfulness.
