A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code for inferring a probability of a first inference related to a chaotic event. Each datum of the database is conformed to the dimensions of the database. Each datum of the plurality of data has associated metadata and an associated key. The query is used as a frame of reference for the search. The database returns a probability of the correctness of the first inference based on the query and on the data. The probability of the first inference relates to a cause of the chaotic event, an affect of the chaotic event, an effect of the chaotic event, whether an event is related to the chaotic event, a whether an object is related to the chaotic event, and combinations thereof.
