Self organizing model for artificial life
First Claim
1. An architecture for a self-organizing robotic system comprising:
- an input system which comprises;
sensory organ means for receiving information from the environment and translating the information into an information pattern; and
input receptive organ means for receiving each information pattern and converting each information pattern into a geometric connection;
an output system which comprises;
output receptive organ means for receiving geometric connections; and
effect organ means for receiving the geometric connections from the output receptive organ means and for causing an effect in response;
a mind system for receiving geometric connections from the input system, processing the geometric connections and transmitting the geometric connections to the output system, which mind system comprises;
an advanced mind subsystem comprising an advanced neuro-matrix means for providing consciousness; and
a primitive mind subsystem comprising;
a primitive neuro-matrix means for providing subconsciousness;
instinct means for storing causal relationships to provide a geometric connection output according to a geometric connection input;
instinct for survival means for prioritizing each input and output in terms of comfortable and uncomfortable; and
instincts arbiter means for controlling future actions through promotion and inhibition of the output geometric connection according to status of the instinct for survival means;
wherein the output geometric connection observes conditions expressed by the instinct for survival means and the instincts arbiter means.

Abstract
A new architecture overcomes the limitation of conventional robotic technologies. Named the Self Organizing Model (“SOM”) it includes a method that allows systems to learn, grow and continually evolve without outside control. This technology enables Artificial Life, one aspect of which is robotic “life.” If this system is compared to a real living thing, the hardware is like the body and the potential instinct and habits and related data are like the DNA. The hardware includes memory which contains the instinct and related data. Algorithms and organizations are provided so that the hardware forms an adapting and evolving brain that senses the environment and formulates actions to improve the survival of the Artificial Life according to predetermined rules. The organism can learn and become more complex all without complex software programs that attempt to anticipate all possible situations.
