Although it is built up from virtual objects that each represent a single
macrological unit, a database, when considered as a macrological structure
itself, exceeds the informational content of all its individual logic units
added together. This is so because the individual macrological units are
now ordered or combined in relation to each other by a macrological
structure not represented by any virtual object within the database itself,
rather the new macrological structure is implicit in the database. The real
object that is the source of this implicit macrological structure is of
course the human brain as expressed by its logical instructions that have
ordered together the database's objects. Phrased differently, man's
macrological structure is evident as instructions at every level of the
database's logical structure, from its individual logical units to the
totality of those units. At the total-database level, a superimposition
exists that orders together all the database's logical elements into a
cohesive integrated whole for the purpose of producing information,
information that cannot be ascertained or discovered by an examination of
the database's constituent objects. When taken all together, the individual
or discrete implicit instructions of each object form what is called an
implicit instruction set.
