Abstract: The invention relates to a relation computer 3 for the simulation of cerebral cortex of a biological brain. The relation computer has a trito counter 4 consisting of several trito cells Zi each having one tritogram Ti associated therewith. Each of these cells Zi is connected to a computer group Si which has number of computer places that is associated with the valuedness of the tritogram. When information is supplied to a computer group Si and then computed, an activity unit 9 of this computer group is activated which supplies a signal to the corresponding trito cell Zi. The tritograms of the instantaneously activated trito cells Zi are stored in a pattern memory 6 in certain time intervals. The most frequently occurring tritogram patterns are counted in an occurrence counter 7. They can then be fed to an action intention computer 1 in order to modify possible action programs. The organization of the relation computer can also .

Abstract: The invention relates to a computer, in particular for simulating biological processes. The essential feature of the computer is a central logic/computing system which is constructed as an n-valent permutograph. The negation network of this permutograph consists of individual nodal computers which are connected with other nodal computers via information or negation lines. Each nodal computer contains the negation network of the permutograph in a subnodal unit. The total computer can be controlled externally or internally, resulting in an intentional computer.

Abstract: A system for simulation of the reticular formation is described. The system comprises as a central processing unit a command computer (4) structured on the basis of a permutograph and comprising a plurality of storage modules (M), with the storage modules (M) corresponding to the elements and the connections between the storage modules to the edges of the permutograph. The connections establish internal circuits which correspond to the negation sequences of the permutograph in the form of Hamilton loops (HK), there being associated with each Hamilton loop a behavior pattern of the reticular formation. The command computer (4) is controlled by input computers (1, 2, 3) in which a preprogrammed intended action is related to environmental information. The possibly new intended action computed therefrom is entered in the command computer (4) as a control command.
