Framework of Information Processing Using the Vibrating Potential Field : Theories and Applications

Abstract

This paper presents a new information processing model for engineering using a vibrating potential field. In the field of engineering, the conventional information processing models are based on central control processing and parallel distributed processing. Such conventional models are programmed by a sequence of procedures through internal connections between specified processing units, and for this reason it is difficult for all the units to express unity of purpose, enlarge of the system and observe the status of internal connections. However, information exchange between all depends on using field information and information processing of living units is a self-organizing process that can be achieved using field information. Many examples are found in nature where high-performance information processing can be attained without supervision. An analogous model of this self-organized information processing can give a useful control mechanism for PDP. This paper proposes a new information processing model using the vibrating potential field and discusses the results of computer simulations using this model.
