306 the input signals serve to address the lines of the characteristic field memory 302 and the data g 1 g 3 serve to address the lines while the data 1 3 relate to the data contents that is the data to be written into the individual addressed memory locations via the external control access or programming plane the type of linkage in the memory 301 can be predetermined and various mathematical linkages summation multiplication or logical linkages can be selected so that the data can be added multiplied or otherwise transferred in accordance with a logical condition the logical conditions may comprise not only and and or or other known linkages performable by logical gates including 34 greater than 34 34 less than 34 or 34 equal to 34 relationships it can also be predetermined that while satisfying the predetermined condition a particular fixed logical value will e output the component group 301 accordingly allows the processing of signals with either a fixed logical level or with a variable level in digital representation the number of planes of the component element 301 increases accordingly if the characteristic field memory 302 is embodied multidimensionally as indicated by the perspective layering in fig3 for each dimension an additional addressing plane is required the illustration in fig3 is accordingly more symbolic in form any other suitable embodiment of the actual memories is also possible following the circuit 302 is a programmable signal processing component group 303 which enables a time dependent linear processing of the signal value while in the component group 302 a non.
