9. A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code portions recorded thereon for enabling a computer, in an ongoing manner, to gain knowledge originating with measurements taken by a sensor, the computer readable program code portions comprising: a first executable portion, for enabling said computer to classify a current measurement as being either recognized or unrecognized in the context of a permanent knowledge base; a second executable portion, for enabling said computer, if the current said measurement is classified as being recognized, to determine whether an outcome associated with the recognized current said measurement is consistent with an outcome of at least one other measurement that exists in said permanent knowledge base and that constitutes a basis for said recognition; a third executable portion, for enabling said computer, if said outcome associated with the recognized current said measurement is consistent with an outcome of at least one other said measurement that exists in said permanent knowledge base and that constitutes a basis for said recognition, to assimilate information in said permanent knowledge base, said assimilated information including the recognized current said measurement and at least one characteristic of the recognized current said measurement; a fourth executable portion, for enabling said computer, if the current said measurement is classified as being unrecognized, to categorize the unrecognized current said measurement in a hierarchal structure in a temporary knowledge base, to associate the unrecognized current said measurement with an outcome, and to determine whether the unrecognized current said measurement is subsequently corroborated by at least one fixture said measurement; and a fifth executable portion, for enabling said computer, if the unrecognized current said measurement is determined to be corroborated, to assimilate, into said permanent knowledge base, information including the corroborated current said measurement and at least one characteristic of the corroborated current said measurement; wherein, if the current said measurement is classified as being unrecognized, then: the unrecognized current said measurement is made during a current event run; said at least one future said measurement is made during at least one fixture said event run; and wherein said measurements constitute a data stream in real time, said computer continually adapting, in real time, to recognize and assimilate new information, to corroborate previous information, and to identify inconsistencies in said data stream, said computer thereby continually determining, in real time, useful collections of values relating to said sensor.
11. The computer program product according to claim 9 , said corroboration including: recognition of the unrecognized current said measurement in view of at least one future said measurement; and consistency of said outcome associated with the unrecognized current said measurement with an outcome of at least one fixture said measurement.
