Matrix

A matrix (pl.: "matrices," Latin origin) is a complex ordering, in deliberate fashion, of numerals. In mathematics, a "matrix" is a regular grid of numbers, which may be manipulated and solved through intermediate-level algebra. Matrix algebra is usually taught in sophomore high school level mathematics.

Alternately, a matrix may also be a complex ordering of a group of equivalent objects, especially where the order is imposed to gain incidental benefit from the synergy of the networked objects.
