Abstract:
Results of the theoretical studies of the use of redundant self-organizing elements as a means of providing a reliable self-organizing controller are presented. A mathematical representation of the trainable logical network as a finite state device and an analysis of the organization process as a Markov process is given. Goal functions for control systems are developed from Lyapunov functions. A digital computer study of the self-organizing logical controller and study results are presented. The theory, method of operation, and design techniques of the RELIATRON (Reliable ARTRON) are given.
