Reality is merely an illusion

Albeit a very persistent one. Albert Einstein.

Consider this - from months before we are even born, our senses feed us with input of what's around. Then as reality stays persistent and repetitive, we get hard wired recognition of the environment, even without yet having names or abstract association of it.

I have therefore set to attempt the same in a case study of heat, fire, and smoke recognition. A visual input of a dynamic scene from Quake 4 game was translated into a probability of association with these three objects.

Abstract association of two of the objects was also put in place - "there is no smoke without fire".

Here is the result, with the code so small and simple it can easily be ported onto a microcontroller.
