1. An electrical grid monitoring, predictive monitoring, and control system comprising: a controller in electrical communication with a multiplicity of electrical devices in an electric grid, wherein said controller receives control state data from each electrical device of said multiplicity of electrical devices indicating a current state of each said electrical device; a multi-dimensional, multi-layer cellular computational network (CCN) disposed within said controller comprising an information layer; a knowledge layer; a decision-making layer; and an action layer; wherein each said layer of said CCN represents one of a multiplicity of control state variables in the electric grid; wherein said controller analyzes said multiplicity of control state data then determines a current control state and a predicted control state for one or more of said multiplicity of electrical devices.
