1. A method for signifying information objects comprising the steps: obtaining a plurality of information objects; providing the plurality of information objects to an indexer for signification; providing the indexer with a deliberately ambiguated signifier prompt; wherein the deliberately ambiguated signifier prompt comprises one of a one-dimensional figure and a multi-dimensional figure, the figure having a plurality of labeled points specifying attributes, and wherein none of the labeled points comprise a desired response, and wherein the indexer signifies each of the information objects by indicating a position on the deliberately ambiguated signifier prompt to represent the information object; and storing in a computer system each of the information objects with the indexer's response to the deliberately ambiguated signifier prompt.
