System and method for dynamically grouping and displaying a plurality of content

Abstract

An orthogonal or multi-dimensional fabric user interface is described herein. A computer device executes an operating system that stores content in a multi-dimensional fabric. Users can access and view content that is stored in the multi-dimensional fabric at a specific location and time. The users request the specific location and time. The computer device r accesses the multi-dimensional fabric to anchor content within the multi-dimensional fabric user interface based on the specific location and time.
