In this paper we describe how to use the bifurcation structure of static localized solutions in one dimension to store information on a medium in such a way that no extrinsic grid is needed to locate the information. We demonstrate that these principles, deduced from the mathematics adapted to describe one-dimensional media, also allow one to store information on two-dimensional media
