US Patent 11188812 System and method for a recursive cortical network

A system includes: a recursively architected network of sub-networks organized into a hierarchical layers; the sub-networks including at least a parent feature node, a pool node, a parent-specific child feature (PSCF) node, and a child feature node; the parent feature node of at least one sub-network configured with a selection function actionable on at least two pool nodes connected to the parent feature node of the at least one sub-network; the pool node of the at least one sub-network configured with a selection function actionable on at least two PSCF nodes connected to the pool node of the at least one sub-network; the PSCF node of the at least one sub-network configured to activate a connected child feature node; the child feature node connectable to at least a parent feature node of a sub-network at a lower hierarchical layer.
