ABSTRACT:
Microprocessor assemblies are disclosed, which include a plurality of preprogrammed, cellular automaton microprocessors, a common radiant energy data waveguide into which said microprocessors can emit and from which said microprocessors can absorb modulated radiant energy signals, and a power supply radiant energy waveguide. Means are provided for each microprocessor to demodulate the absorbed signal and to modulate the emitted signal according to codes assigned to each said microprocessor. The common data waveguide provides for exchange of signals among the plurality of microprocessors. The relative degree of communication between two given microprocessors is determined by the degree to which the respective codes match. Said codes are subject to change. The change is determined by the demodulated inputs of the microprocessors. Means are provided for selective activation and deactivation of microprocessors through selective activation power supply. Changeability of the codes and the selective power supply provide for the means to induce a wide range of the desired patterns of connectivity and the desired degree of connectivity among the plurality of the microprocessors. There are also disclosed methods for making such microprocessor assemblies.
