The differences method

In addition to the above two methods, one can also store the difference of the current object from a master. A comparison is made with the five nearest neighbours which are not themselves updates. The differences are then made against that neighbour for which the minimum number of words are required. The user may select that the user keys must also match during the search for nearest neighbours.
