A computing system architecture that implements a new computational paradigm employing corobs, data processing constructs that represent points in generalized sub-spaces of particular spaces, as the primary data tokens for representing and manipulating information, thereby taking advantage of the unique mathematical and computational properties of corobs, is herein described. An architectural construct, suitable for containing the data of a corob for further use, is described. An architectural construct, called a "corob memory", suitable for use as a memory system in which corobs in a space are associated with arbitrary, but specific, data objects so that each data object can be equivalenced to, and represented by, a corob, is described. An architectural construct, called a "corob cell", is described whose function is to map input corobs to output state values in a manner consistent with corobs and associated state values previously stored in a corob memory in that cell. An architectural construct, called a "corob computing system", is described wherein corob cells are combined into a programmable computing architecture wherein any cell can receive input from any other in the manner of a cross-bar switch, and if desired, input may be obtained through cells designated as sensor cells, and output may be produced through cells designated as actor cells.
