1. A method for execution by a computing device, the method comprises:
determining a set of identigens for each word of a first claim element of a claim to produce a plurality of first sets of identigens, wherein a set of identigens of the plurality of first sets of identigens represents one or more different meanings of a word of the first claim element, wherein each identigen of the set of identigens includes a meaning identifier, an instance identifier, and a time reference, wherein each meaning identifier associated with a particular set of identigens represents a different meaning of one or more different meanings of a corresponding word of the first claim element, wherein each time reference provides time information when a corresponding different meaning of the one or more different meanings is valid;
interpreting, based on identigen pairing rules of a knowledge database, pairs of sequentially adjacent identigens of adjacent sets of identigens of the plurality of first sets of identigens to determine a most likely meaning interpretation of the first claim element and produce a first claim element entigen group, wherein the first claim element entigen group represents the most likely meaning interpretation of the first claim element, wherein each entigen of the first claim element entigen group corresponds to a selected identigen of one of the plurality of first sets of identigens having a selected meaning identifier of the one or more different meanings of a corresponding word of the first claim element words that represents a most likely meaning interpretation of the corresponding word, wherein each selected identigen corresponding to the first claim element entigen group favorably pairs with at least one corresponding sequentially adjacent identigen of an adjacent set of identigens in accordance with the identigen pairing rules, wherein each entigen of the first claim element entigen group represents a single conceivable and perceivable thing in space and time that is independent of language and corresponds to a time reference of a corresponding selected identigen associated with the first claim element entigen group, wherein the knowledge database includes a plurality of records that link entigens having a connected meaning;
obtaining a comparison matter entigen group, wherein the comparison matter entigen group represents a most likely meaning interpretation of corresponding comparison matter;
determining a level of match between the first claim element entigen group and the comparison matter entigen group; and
when the level of match between the first claim element entigen group and the comparison matter entigen group is greater than a threshold level, performing a value-added function including one of:
indicating potential utilization of the claim by the comparison matter when a priority level of the claim is greater than a priority level of the comparison matter, and
indicating potential prior art status of the comparison matter when the priority level of the claim is less than the priority level of the comparison matter.
