Abstract
Information wise, a pattern recognition task starts when a person (or computer) is offered partial information/data about a pattern and is asked to produce the whole information about it. According to Synergetics’ pattern recognition paradigm (Haken 1996), as well as to others (Steinbuch 1961), such a task is implemented by means of associative memory: The partial information/data offered triggers a process of self-organization that gives rise to a competition between several order states represented by “order parameters”.
