	abstract =	{This work contains a theoretical study and computer
	simulations of a new self-organizing process. The principal discovery
	is that in a simple network of adaptive physical elements which receive
	signals from a primary event space, the signal representations are
	automatically mapped onto a set of output responses in such a way that
	the responses acquire the same topological order as that of the primary
	events.  In other words, a principle has been discovered which
	facilitates the automatic formation of topologically correct maps of
	features of observable events. The basic self-organizing system is a
	one- or two-dimensional array of processing units resembling a network
	of threshold-logic units, and characterized by short-range lateral
	feedback between neighbouring units.  Several types of computer
	simulations are used to demonstrate the ordering process as well as the
	conditions under which it fails.},
