Claim Text:
1. A system comprising: a first module of a hierarchical network, wherein the first module includes a first array of bits and a second array of bits, wherein a first value stored in the first array of bits represents a concept state, and a second value stored in the second array of bits represents an expectation state, and wherein the first module receives a third value that represents an input state; a second module of the hierarchical network that has a higher hierarchy than the first module, wherein the second module receives the first value from the first module; a third module of the hierarchical network that has a lower hierarchy than the first module, wherein the third module receives the second value from the first module, and wherein the first module derives the third value depending at least in part from the third module; a concept memory that contains concept information, wherein the first value is computed using the third value and the concept information; an expectation memory that contains expectation information, wherein the second value is computed using the first value, the third value and the expectation information; and an actuated mechanism that receives a signal derived from the second value, wherein an operation of the actuated mechanism is influenced by the signal.
