A self-learning brain-like Autosopher plug-in module
An Autosopher was implemented in hardware to verify theoretical predictions
Demonstration: 1988
Abstract: An Autosopher is a self-learning brain-like device that is expected to replace the programmed data processing Computer. Starting from its invention in 1974 it has slowly evolved through various publications to the construction of a hardware demonstration model in 1988. This model consist of a plug-in module for an IBM PC where the module communicates with the computer by emulating a modem connection. This allowed operating the Autosopher using all the facilities of the computer, including keyboard, display, and disc storage. Extensive research and “teaching” experiments were performed by Eric Holtz in 1988, including a stored book on “Sauces.” These experiments demonstrated the highly superior performance characteristics of the new paradigm.
