Subsumptive Regular System - Definition

Subsumptive Regular System (RSR): A subsumptive spiking neural network with inputs, hard-wired processing, and outputs; combined with a regular (uniform) 3D array of learning and pattern recognizing neurons that is trying to predict the next state of the subsumptive, all asynchronously free running.
The subsumptive system is the cerebrum, and the regular system is the cortex.

Avalanche Pattern Recognition

One feature of an SRS (see previous post) is that the 3D regular array of neurons (the cortex) can recognize a fragmented pattern in the subsumptive system, stimulate the subsumptive system into that pattern to a small degree, and then on the next time tick, recognize the now stronger pattern and repeat the process.  The entire system will rapidly avalanche into the state where the pattern is fully matched and the subsumptive system is fully in the match state. This system will then be locked into that state. Several factors can get the system out of the state and allow 'thinking' to continue. The pattern matcher will recognize the locked in state and begin predicting the next state. If one simulates the neurons getting 'tired' or 'bored' they can stop matching the locked in state and more easily match to the next state.  I call this Neural Fatigue.  An analog in biological neurons is the refractory period (maybe). Some external stimulus to the system li...

Subsumption and Neural Hiding - The 'Object Oriented Paradigm' of Artificial Intelligence

In computer programming Object Oriented Programming (OOP) gave programmers a neat way to compartmentalize programs, rather than having a mess of disorganized code and data.  One can neatly make an object, treat it as a black-box and reduce the cognitive load on the programmer.  Nifty. In reactive neural networks where one is taking world inputs and generating response outputs Subsumption vastly simplifies the work of designing the neural processing. From dictionary.com: verb (used with object),   sub·sumed,   sub·sum·ing. to  consider  or  include  (an  idea,   term,   proposition,   etc.)  as  part  of a  more   comprehensive   one. to  bring  (a  case,   instance,   etc.)   under  a  rule. to  take  up  into  a  more   inclusive   classification. Subsumption in the context of neural networks is where some ...
