The ability of the brain to generate complex spatiotemporal patterns with specific timings is essential for motor learning and temporal processing. An approach that can model this function, using the spontaneous activity of a random neural network (RNN), is associated with orbital instability. We propose a simple system that learns an arbitrary time series as the linear sum of stable trajectories produced by several small network modules. New finding in computer experiments is that the trajectories of the module outputs are orthogonal to each other. They created a dynamic orthogonal basis acquiring a high representational capacity, which enabled the system to learn the timing of extremely long intervals, such as tens of seconds for a millisecond computation unit, and also the complex time series of Lorenz attractors. This self-sustained system satisfies the stability and orthogonality requirements and thus provides a new neurocomputing framework and perspective for the neural mechanisms of motor learning.
