System and Method for Persistent Cognitive Machine on Neuromorphic Platform

A computer system configured to execute software instructions that cause the computer system to:

• receive a cognition event from a cognitive edge source;
• convert the cognition event to a vector space representation of the cognition event;
• transform the vector space representation into a geometric representation on a thought manifold wherein:
• the thought manifold comprises a continuous, differentiable mathematical space having a geometric shape;
• the thought manifold comprises a plurality of data points within the continuous, differentiable mathematical space and a plurality of connections between the data points, each of the plurality of connections comprising a timing delay and a connection weight;
• and
• the geometric shape is determined at least in part by the timing delays and connection weights of the plurality of connections;
• and
• process the geometric representation on the thought manifold by following one or more paths along the geometric shape of the thought manifold, each path comprising one or more of the connections between the plurality of data points on the thought manifold, and each path being determined at least in part by the influence of the geometric representation on the plurality of data points;
• wherein the processing of the geometric representation on the thought manifold:
• produces a cognitive output associated with the cognition event;
• and
• changes the geometric shape of the thought manifold to represent the influence of the information contained in the cognition event on the thought manifold by changing one or more of the timing delays or connection weights between two or more of the data points.
