Spontaneously evolving living systems can be modelled as continuous-timedynamical systems (DSs), whose evolution rules are determined by their velocityvector fields. We point out that because of their architectural plasticity,biological neural networks belong to a novel type of DSs whose velocity fieldis plastic, albeit within bounds, and affected by sensory stimuli. We introduceDSs with fully plastic velocity fields self-organising under the influence ofstimuli, called self-shaping DSs, and propose that a system of this classrepresents a conceptual model of a cognitive system. We propose a simplephenomenological model that within a single field-shaping mechanism carries outa set of essential cognitive functions without any supervision and online, justlike living cognitive systems do. The performance of this model is illustratedexperimentally with musical examples. Unlike in artificial neural networks,this mechanism does not produce spurious attractors and in principle does notlimit memory size. Implementation of this principle could pave the way tocreating artificial intelligent devices of a new type.
