A wavefront vector correlation processor (10) for providing rapid, weighted correlation of a given vector with other vectors in a given vector space. In one embodiment the processor (10) includes an interconnected two-dimensional array of simple processing elements (12) that is an electronic analogue of the X,Y plane. Each processing element (12) is connected to neighboring processing elements (12) and is capable of transmitting a pulse to its neighboring processing elements in response to an input pulse. An initial pulse initiated at a processing element (12) having a first classification causes electronic ripples to spread out in chain/reaction among neighboring processing elements (12). …
