Coleman Dimensional Encoding is a framework for making data answer questions faster by encoding records into the right dimensions.
Information that looks missing from one perspective is already there, encoded in a dimension that the perspective doesn't include. Add the right dimensions to a dataset and every query follows a geodesic, the shortest possible path through the structure to the answer.
Three concepts define the framework:
- WASP (Workload-Aware Sufficient Placement). Every true answer is found, every false positive is filtered, work scales with the answer rather than the dataset, and no dimension is wasted.
- CDE (Coleman Dimensional Encoding). Analyze the workload, encode each record as a coordinate, build the index, translate queries into bounded probes.
- MSS (Minimally Sufficient Statistics). Every claim is classified as a definition, guarantee, assumption, or unknown. Nothing is stated without knowing which category it belongs to.
