A reconfigurable, associative network apparatus and method. During a configuration phase of the associative network apparatus, active signals corresponding to wanted input patterns are configured as an associative network and distinguished from signals corresponding to unwanted input patterns; wanted input patterns can be further associated with output patterns corresponding to wanted responses. During an operational phase of a previously configured associative network, input patterns are formed from signals produced by one or a plurality of activated inputs. Selected input patterns are then filtered from a set of possible input patterns, and output patterns are obtained in response to a particular set of connections between input and output signals. An adaptive chord keyboard system, representative of a large class of polymorphic control systems, is disclosed as an illustrative embodiment permitting dynamic association of key codes to symbol sets for readily adapting to user capabilities, limitations, and preferences. |
