Compression-Designs in Artifilcial and Living Systems

A novel practical and theoretical foundation for signal processing, named processor coding, is advanced as the computational time compression dual of source coding. Source coding is concerned with signal source memory space compression while processor coding is with signal processing computational time compression. Since source coding and processor coding solutions are characterized by compression designs, their combined use is given the name compression-designs (referred as Conde in short). A compelling and pedagogically appealing descriptive diagram of Conde is also given which highlights its remarkable successful application to knowledge-aided (KA) airborne moving target indicator (AMTI) radar subjected to severely taxing environmental disturbances.
