About Us

Platonite will exploit a very rare opportunity: the opening-up of a vast
new technological field. This is made possible by the discovery of the
true data structure used by the brain. This neural code has the form of
rapidly switchable net fragments acting as puzzle pieces to compose the
representations we experience in our mind. This neural code will open
the door to autonomous intelligence in artificial systems.

Platonite’s immediate concern will be working towards human-level
artificial vision. This is urgently required for realizing
situation-cognizant autonomous cars, service robots and security
surveillance systems, a goal that so far has been blocked by fundamental
conceptual maladjustment both in computer vision and in neuroscience.

Net fragments are able to express the data structures and processes used
by computer graphics in generating complex visual scenes from a toolbox
of simple structural elements, the novelty being that they are able to
also invert those processes to extract intrinsic scene properties from
camera input. This opens the way for proof-by-reconstruction as the
ultimate basis for reliable sensation.

In distinction to current systems, Platonite’s technology can recognize
objects or situations after single inspection instead of thousands of
hand-labeled examples, and as it doesn’t require double-precision
connection weights it is a natural basis for neuromorphic implementation.

As first step we will construct a relatively simple prototype
demonstrating all necessary functionality.
