An information coding system that seems to be independent of noise and variability.
We have discovered and describe herein a cybernetic coding principle that appears to operate independently of variability. The coding is in the time domain, stated in terms of the relative duration of successive intervals between discrete events (pulses, action potentials, etc.). A variety of high-order relations can be described, quantified, and evaluated statistically.
