Funded Activity Summary

The Physics of Network Computation. This project combines expertise in nonlinear soliton physics and computational sciences in order to provide new insights into the physics of network computation. Our proposal addresses the mathematics and computer modelling underlying nonconscious problem solving. We develop a new template concept, the meta-mode, which embodies the network structure of knowledge and the linking mechanisms, which underpin human creativity. We establish the optimal connectivity distributions to preserve distinct pattern classes yet allow model radical shifts in paradigms, and develop algorithms for autonomous connectivity optimisation. We investigate nonlinear process such as solitons and random Boolean networks as realisations of these principles.
