One solution to the object filtering problem is based on a design pattern called an adaptive default hierarchy (ADH). A default hierarchy is an efficient structure for filtering a large input space with a minimum number of filter elements. A default hierarchy enables program interoperability and sensory input adaptation while enforcing the integrity of the program boundary. The default hierarchy interface mechanism will support a wide variety of communications regimes and enable custom program-to-program communications, but will concomitantly provide a robust and secure barrier to inadvertent or deliberate actions that might compromise the program's function or integrity. It will provide a mechanism for dynamic control of the program's sensory input channels by the program's processing mechanism, enabling the program to focus its attention on important stimuli, adapt its communications functions, and determine its level of interoperability.
