1. a transformation system for transforming target data into target' data by the execution of transform functions on the target data, comprising: a transform register which stores UIDs for providing transformation instructions to effect the transformations of target data into target' data; the transform register having a target column of rows at least some rows of which store target UIDs identifying target data to be transformed; the transform register having a function column of rows, at least some rows of which store function UIDs identifying transform functions, each transform function for execution on a target datum identified by the target UID stored in the target column along the same row therewith; the transform register having a target' column of rows, at least some rows of which store target' UIDs, each target' UID identifying a target' datum transformed from a target datum by the execution of the transform function identified by the function UID stored in the function column along the same row therewith on the target datum identified by the target UID stored in the target column along the same row therewith; and each row of the transform register which stores a target UID in the target column thereof and a function UID in the function column thereof and a target' UID in the target' column thereof, provides a transformation instruction for transforming a target datum into a target' datum by the execution of a transform function.
