Patent attributes
Described herein are nodes, sub-systems and systems of nodes for use in a dynamic node based computer. In some embodiments, nodes include: one or more signal receivers for detecting or receiving one or more input signals from one or more signal sources, one or more signal transmitters for selectively connecting and transmitting signals to one or more other nodes; and a threshold device configured to control the selective operation of the signal transmitter based on a threshold derived from one or more characteristics of the input signals. More complex variations of the nodes include the addition of threshold manipulation devices, signal amplifiers or dampeners, control devices, or computational devices. Also described herein are machines or devices built from one or more such nodes.
