Abstract
This work contains a theoretical study and computer
simulations of a new self-organizing process. The
principal discovery is that in a simple network of
adaptive physical elements which receives signals from
a primary event space, the signal representations are
automatically mapped onto a set of output responses in
such a way that the responses acquire the same
topological order as that of the primary events. In
other words, a principle has been discovered which
facilitates the automatic formation of topologically
correct maps of features of observable events. The
basic self-organizing system is a one- or
two-dimensional array of processing units resembling a
network of threshold-logic units, and characterized by
short-range lateral feedback between neighbouring
units. Several types of computer simulations are used
to demonstrate the ordering process as well as the
conditions under which it fails.
