Generalized self-synthesizer

Claim 1

APPARATUS ADAPTIVE TO FORM M SELECTED LOGICAL FUNCTION OF N BINARY INPUT VARIABLES, WHERE M AND N ARE INTEGERS GREATER THAN ONE, COMPRISING, IN COMBINATION: A MAXIMUM OF M GROUPS OF 2N STATISTICAL SWITCH ELEMENTS, EACH GROUP ASSOCIATED WITH THE FORMATION OF A SEPARATE ONE OF SAID M LOGICAL FUNCTIONS, EACH SWITCH ELEMENT HAVING A PLURALITY OF POSSIBLE OPERATING STATES CORRESPONDING TO RESPECTIVE DISTINCT AND DIFFERENT LEVELS OF PROBABILITY OF BEING OPEN OR CLOSED DURING ANY GIVEN INTERVAL OF TIME, WHEREBY THE PROBABILITY THAT INPUT LOGIC APPLIED INTO ANY SWITCH ELEMENT WILL BE SUPPLED AS OUTPUT LOGIC THEREFROM CORRESPONDS TO THE LEVEL OF PROBABILITY SET BY THE OPERATING TO THE LEVEL OF SWITCH ELEMENT DURING THE INTERVAL OF APPLICATION OF SAID INPUT LOGIC; MEANS RESPONSIVE TO SAID INPUT VARIABLES FOR GENERATING NON-REDUNDANT FUNCTIONS THEREOF AS INPUT LOGIC TO SELECTED ONES OF THE SWITCH ELEMENTS OF EACH GROUP; M MEANS, EACH ASSOCIATED WITH A RESPECTIVE SEPARATE ONE OF SAID GROUPS OF SWITCH ELEMENTS, FOR PERFORMING ARITHMETIC OPERATIONS ON THE OUTPUT LOGIC SUPPLIED BY ITS ASSOCIATED GROUP OF SWITCH ELEMENTS TO PROVIDE M LOGICAL OUTPUT FUNCTIONS OF SAID OUTPUT LOGIC; MEANS FOR IDENTIFYING A CORRESPONDENCE OR A LACK OF CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN EACH OF SAID M SELECTED LOGICAL FUNCTIONS AND RESPECTIVE ONES OF SAID M LOGICAL OUTPUT FUNCTIONS AND FOR GENERATING TRAINING SIGNALS INDICATIVE OF SAID CORRESPONDENCE OR LACK CORRESPONDENCE, AND MEANS FOR APPLYING SAID TRAINING SIGNALS TO SAID SWITCH ELEMENTS TO CONTROL THE STATES THEREOF AND THEREBY TO ENHANCE THE PROBABILITY THAT THE OUTPUT LOGIC SUPPLIED BY SAID SWITCH ELEMENTS TO SAID MEANS FOR PERFORMING ARITHMETIC OPERATIONS WILL RESULT IN THE GENERATION OF SAID M SELECTED LOGICAL FUNCTIONS AS OUTPUTS THEREFROM.
