System and method for a recursive cortical network

摘要

A system includes: a recursively architected network of sub-networks organized into a hierarchical layers; the sub-networks including at least a parent feature node, a pool node, a parent-specific child feature (PSCF) node, and a child feature node; the parent feature node of at least one sub-network configured with a selection function actionable on at least two pool nodes connected to the parent feature node of the at least one sub-network; the pool node of the at least one sub-network configured with a selection function actionable on at least two PSCF nodes connected to the pool node of the at least one sub-network; the PSCF node of the at least one sub-network configured to activate a connected child feature node; the child feature node connectable to at least a parent feature node of a sub-network at a lower hierarchical layer.

1. A method for generating patterns with a network comprising:
providing a recursive network of sub-networks with a parent feature input node and at least two child feature output nodes; propagating node selection down the network layer hierarchy in a manner consistent with node connections of sub-networks of the network, the propagation within the sub-network comprising:
at an activated parent feature node of a sub-network, selecting a pool node consistent with a selection function of the parent feature node;at a pool node of a sub-network, selecting at least a first parent-specific child feature (PSCF) node that corresponds to a child feature node of the sub-network; andin response to the selection of a first node of the sub-network, enforcing a selection constraint on at least a second node of a second pool according to a lateral constraint node of the sub-network; and compiling the state of final child feature nodes of the network into a generated output.
