Cognitive cell with coded chemicals for generating outputs from environmental inputs and method of using same

A synthetic cognitive system for automatically generating outputs, comprising:

• at least one environmental input;
• and
• synthetic cognitive cells, each synthetic cognitive cell comprising:
• an operator comprising a chemical agent;
• and
• a coded chemical comprising polymers, each of the polymers comprising a sequence of affinity blocks of molecular groups arranged in predetermined patterns to define a multi-layered base code, each of the affinity blocks comprises a monomer with a sidechain, the sidechains having affinities to each other, at least a portion of the affinity blocks forming a gate switch defining a bridge between the environmental inputs and the chemical agent whereby, upon exposure to the environmental inputs, the gate switches trigger the chemical agent to perform an operation.

A method of making a synthetic cognitive cell for automatically generating an output based on an environmental input, the method comprising:

• providing an operator comprising chemical agents;
• providing polymers comprising monomers;
• forming a coded chemical by:
• selectively forming affinity blocks by modifying the monomers with sidechains, the sidechains having an affinity to each other;
• and
• arranging a sequence of the affinity blocks of the polymer into predetermined patterns of molecular groups defining a multi-layered base code and into gate switches defining a bridge between the environmental input and the chemical agent such that, on exposure to the environmental input, chemical reactions between the chemical agent and the coded chemical perform an operation;
• mixing the operator with the coded chemical to form a coded mixture;
• and
• applying the coded mixture to a membrane.
