Technology Concept
The underlying principle of Cognition Network Technology is that it is context-based.
The technology identifies objects rather than just examining individual pixels. It then makes inferences about those objects by looking at them in context.
Illustration:
Q1. What is this? 
A. A circle inside a rectangle
Q1. What is this? 
A. A knife, fork and plate
With the addition of a knife and fork, the circle is immediately classified as a plate. The object – the circle – hasn’t changed, but the human mind uses context and relationships with other objects to make intelligent inferences about the objects it perceives. And this is precisely how Cognition Network Technology works.
