1. A method to generate recognition, auto-adaptation and self-organizing processes in autonomous systems, including the steps of:

  • a) providing a device for sensing the temporal-spatial variations between the physical state of said system and the physical state of the surroundings of said system, the device comprising;

    sensor means coupled to said system to produce analog signals;

    receiving means connected to said sensor means to receive said analog signals;

    threshold value detector means connected to said receiving means to classify said received;

    analog signals into classes according to signal amplitudes;

    time recording means connected to said threshold value detector means to record elapse times;

    time analyzing means connected to said time recording means;

    b) recording the current elapse times between phase transitions through said threshold values, c) analyzing said elapse times to find covariant elapse time sequences within currently recorded elapse times, said elapse time sequences being covariant with sequences of prior recorded elapse times.
