SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT AND FUNCTION

The first part of the plan was realized as a piece of software based on the principles of the Adaptive Resonance Theory (A.R.T) and the Fuzzy A.R.T [17], [18], [19], [20], [26], [37], [47]. It is constructed on two layers. Examples formed in real time because of actual or potential changes of the built environment, are developed and represented in the first layer (Feature Layer). The second layer constitutes a field for the development of Knowledge and conclusions, outlining a "preceding-image" of real space-time. These two layers communicate through bi-directional connections: each result of the second layer is fed back into the first, in a procedure of a mutual absorption of characteristics among stored images and entering examples. After "resonance" is completed, the most significant characteristics of the first layer are presented intensified in relation with the activity of the second layer, so that the whole system is trained to learn and memorize the best possible relations among inputs and outputs.

The benefit of this procedure is the development of proposals for the realization of space that attain the adaptation of local choices and demands to the whole of expressed choices and resolutions and vice-versa. In order to understand the function and the particular benefits of this program we introduce some crucial notions, terms and conditions.
