Patent ID: 7376553

Claim:
An apparatus for signal processing based on an algorithm for representing harmonics in a fractal lattice, the apparatus comprising: (a) a plurality of tuned segments, each tuned segment including a transceiver having an intrinsic resonant frequency, the amplitude of the resonant frequency capable of being modified by at least one of the group of steps consisting of receiving an external input signal, and internally generating a response to an applied feedback signal; (b) a plurality of signal processing elements arranged in an array pattern, the signal processing elements including at least one function selected from the group consisting of buffer means for storing information, feedback means for generating a feedback signal, controller means for controlling an output signal, connection means for connecting the plurality of tuned segments to signal processing elements, and feedback connection means for conveying signals from the plurality of signal processing elements in the array to the tuned segments; and wherein individual ones of the signal processing elements include a neural-column structure having a plurality of layers, at least some of which layers are capable of functioning as counting circuits.
