Abstract Critical cascades are found in many self-organizing systems. Here, we examine critical as a design paradigm for logic and learning under the linear threshold model (LTM), simple biologically inspired variants of it sources computational power, efficiency, robustness. First, show that LTM can compute logic, with small modification, universal Boolean examining its stability cascade frequ...

A neutron monitor (NM) is, since the 1950s, a standard ground-based detector whose count rate reflects cosmic-ray variability. The worldwide network of NMs forms rough spectrometer for cosmic rays. Recently, brand-new data acquisition (DAQ) system has been installed on DOMC and DOMB NMs, located at Concordia research station Central Antarctic plateau. new DAQ digitizes, 2-MHz sampling rate, rec...
