PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an artificial neuron for solving a scaling problem such as a huge number of input variables. SOLUTION: The artificial neuron 700 includes inputs and dendrites, a respective one of which is associated (associative) with a respective one of the inputs. Each dendrite includes a power series of weights, and each weight in a power series includes an associated count for the associated (associative) power. The power series of weights preferably is a base-two power series of weights, each weight in the base-two power series including an associated count that represents a bit position. The counts for the associated power preferably are statistical counts. More particularly, the dendrites preferably are sequentially ordered, and the power series of weights preferably includes a pair of first and second power series of weights. Each weight in the first power series includes a first count that is a function of associations of prior dendrites, and each weight of the second power series includes a second count that is a function of associations of next dendrites.
