Abstract
A neural-model computational method and architecture structure based on connectionism featuring broadcast-hierarchical, locality-of-communication-dominant operation. According to the hierarchical nature of the invention, the system thereof is organized into plural communication levels, wherein what might be thought of as a lower level handles all communications that take place solely on that level, and what might be thought of as a higher level handles "long-distance" communications interlevel. Communication takes place in what is referred to herein as a braodcast manner in the sense that a communicating source broadcasts its communication simultaneously to the entirety of that part of the system wherein expected recipients are located. The locality-of-communication-dominance feature groups and organizes the various communication sources generally in accordance with their respective frequencies of communication, assigning addresses, respectively, whose lengths generally relate in an inverse proportion to these frequencies.
