DIGORGAO - A Digital Problem Solution Concept

A concept for the solution of problems at the digital processor has been developed, which is based on a four level approach of attacking a problem. It concerns the abstract, concrete, active and heuristic level of problem solution. Dialectic pairs of notions have to be defined, in order to specify separation and connection relations at each level and from level to level. The precise reference structures of DIGORGAO support the potential for self organization. A digital organ virtuscope has been implemented at the PC according to the DIGORGAO concept. It offers full functionality for the solution of computer vision problems. 1 Dialectics of digital problem solution DIGORGAO constitutes a concept for the solution of problems at the digital processor. It is based on • the functionality of digital processing and • the organic character of problem solution. It opens new ways for self organising problem solutions. Four levels have to be distinguished in digital problem solution. Each level is governed by a dialectic pair of basic concepts. Abstract level: attribute & creator Concrete level: item & functor Active level: object & process Heuristic level: action & reactionlevel: attribute & creator Concrete level: item & functor Active level: object & process Heuristic level: action & reaction The dialectic pairs establish the theoretical background of DIGORGAO technology for digital problem solution. In the course of the problem solution there is an intrinsic separation and connection between coding of the problem, i.e. creation of the objects, i.e. analysis of the problem and composition of the solution, i.e. creation of the processes, i.e. synthesis of the solution.
