Abstract :
Intelligent processing systems have the potential to create a completely productive, high quality and stable society with several orders of magnitude greater potential in manufacturing, economy and culture. The potential is realized only by implementing a new cellular architecture for integrating diverse intelligent processing systems with concurrent locality of cells in a global framework of a cellular structured space. The keys to the success of such integration include two types of breakthroughs, one based on the machine side and the other on the human side: the breakthrough of the complexity of ever expanding intelligent processing systems; and the breakthrough of human cognitive capability based on a cellular conceptual space architecture. Some test case studies demonstrate the reality of the potential
