Abstract
Systems and methods for generating clock signals using analog recursion are provided. In some embodiments, an analog recursion system includes an analog recursion device and one or more recursion loops. The recursion loops interact to form periodic phenomena within the analog recursion device, which may be sampled to generate clock state. By tuning settings of the analog recursion device, the clock state generated by the analog recursion system may be tailored for a variety of purposes.

A recursion loop system for generating a clock signal, the system comprising:
- a mixing device including:
- a set of input channels configured to generate a set of input signals;
- a mixing circuit configured to receive and combine the set of input signals from the set of input channels into a mixed harmonized input signal;
- a splitter circuit configured to receive the mixed harmonized input signal and to provide a set of output signals;
- a set of output channels configured to receive output signals from the splitter circuit and to generate output signals based on the input signals;
- and
- a clock output channel configured to output a mixed harmonized periodic signal based on the mixed harmonized input signal, wherein the mixed harmonized periodic signal is usable as a clock signal;
- a set of output devices coupled to the set of output channels and configured to generate output based on the output signals;
- and
- a set of input devices coupled to the set of input channels and configured to generate input signals based on the output generated by the set of output devices, thereby forming a recursion loop.
A method performed by a recursion loop device of producing a clock signal, the method comprising:
- receiving a set of input signals;
- mixing the set of input signals into a mixed harmonized input signal;
- splitting the mixed harmonized input signal and producing a set of output signals based on the set of input signals;
- transmitting the set of output signals to affect the set of input signals;
- and
- sampling a state of the recursion loop device to generate a mixed harmonized periodic clock signal based on the mixed harmonized input signal.
An analog recursion device, comprising:
- a mixing circuit;
- and
- a set of recursion loops coupled to the mixing circuit;
- wherein the analog recursion device is configured to:
- receive a set of signals via the set of recursion loops;
- process the set of signals using the mixing circuit to produce a mixed harmonized input signal;
- provide the processed set of signals to the set of recursion loops;
- and
- provide a state to be sampled to generate a clock signal, wherein the clock signal is a mixed harmonized periodic signal based on the mixed harmonized input signal.
