Abstract

An inherently, and massively parallel data processing system and methodology is disclosed for evolving relative awareness, and related response states in a computerized environment. Any number of disparate data types can be configured with the goal of evolving complex data patterns involving these data forms across relative time and space. New data processing principles and a methodology are provided based on a new default logic that emulates the logic of the force of gravity as applied to proximity in time, space and form. Data form standards are provided that require time, place, and form factors at every convergent processing step. This system is capable of evolving complex awareness states as represented by ever larger associations of the original data samples without the need for knowledge bases, conditional rules or the like. Patterns are discerned in an emergent manner. Memory resources can pertain and will likewise self organize in association with distributed database memory sites where awareness states, and the data forms that represent those states first evolved. The manner by which memory resources self organize due to this gravity logic represent a new kind of universal relational database methodology.

Claims

1. A computer implemented method in a system for data processing that includes a computer having a memory and at least one processor connected for accessing the memory, the method comprising the steps of:

measuring sensory signals and converting the sensory signals to electronic signals representing data elements in the form of binary signals through an input device, said electronic signals being provided at a predetermined data resolution rate;

conveying the electronic signals from the input device to the computer;

creating pressure based data forms from data elements received from the input device, each pressure based data form having a time stamp element, a spatial address element, and data form element;

iteratively evolving relative awareness by converging two or more pressure based data forms by applying gravitational logic to form new pressure based data forms, each of the pressure based data forms representing specific relative awareness states; and

means for storing said pressure based data forms in said memory.

2. The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein each pressure based data form retains a legacy of evolution.

3. The computer implemented method of claim 2, wherein the step of applying gravitational logic includes the steps of comparing time stamp, spatial address, and data form elements separately between converging pressure based data form elements to obtain relative closeness in time, space, and form gravitational ratings, each of these ratings being provided for determining surviving pressure based data forms by comparative evaluation between pressure based data forms having greatest gravitational relevance.

4. The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein the step of evolving relative awareness includes each specific relative awareness state forming an array representing same, storing said array in memory to retain the location of a node from which the array was formed, and comparing the arrays stored in memory in parallel at the node from which the array was formed to determine the most relevant arrays, said most relevant arrays triggering responses.

5. An inherently, and massively parallel data processing method capable of concurrently evolving relative awareness states, the method comprising the steps of:

measuring sensory signals and converting the sensory signals to electronic signals representing data elements in the form of binary signals through a sensory input device;

conveying the electronic signals from the sensory input device to a computer;

creating pressure based data forms from data elements received from the sensory input device, each pressure based data form having a time stamp element, a spatial address element, and data form element; and

evolving relative awareness by converging two or more pressure based data forms by applying gravitational logic to form new pressure based data forms, each of the pressure based data forms representing specific relative awareness states, the step of applying gravitational logic including the steps of comparing time stamp, spatial address, and data form elements separately between converging pressure based data form elements to obtain relative closeness in time, space, and form gravitational ratings, each of these ratings being provided for determining surviving pressure based data forms by comparative evaluation between pressure based data forms having greatest gravitational relevance, wherein the step of evolving relative awareness includes the step of storing the new pressure based data forms in memory and repeating the step of evolving relative awareness upon the stored new pressure based data forms.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the step of evolving relative awareness includes each specific relative awareness state forming an array representing same, storing said array in memory to retain the location of a node from which the array was formed, and comparing the arrays stored in memory in parallel at the node from which the array was formed to determine the most relevant arrays, said most relevant arrays triggering response signals.

7. A computer for providing parallel data processing comprising:

input means for conveying electronic signals representing data elements in the form of binary signals from an input device to a computer and providing said data elements at a standardized data resolution rate, said input device comprising a sensory measuring device selected from the group consisting of;

a visual digitizing camera, a digitizing pressure sensor, and a digitizing sound sensor;

means responsive to said input means for creating pressure based data forms from data elements received from the input device, each pressure base data form having a time stamp element, a spatial address element, and data form element;

means for evolving relative awareness by iteratively converging two or more pressure based data forms at convergent nodes to form pressure based data forms, each of the pressure based data forms representing specific relative awareness states, each of said convergent nodes having memory means connected with said computer for storing and accessing the pressure based data forms; and

means for applying gravitational logic at each convergent node where the gravitational logic includes comparison means for sorting time stamp, spatial address, and data form elements separately between converging pressure based data form elements to obtain relative closeness in time, space, and form gravitational ratings, each of these ratings being provided for automatically determining surviving pressure based data forms by comparative evaluation between pressure based data forms having greatest gravitational relevance.

8. The computer of claim 7, wherein each pressure based data form retains a legacy of evolution and further comprises response nodes, each response node being connected with a convergent node and has output means for providing and triggering response signals.
