| contents | How can one design complex systems capable of learning for a given functionality? In the context of ultrafast laser-surface interaction, we unravel the nature of learning schemes tied to the emergence of complexity in dissipative structures. The progressive development of learning mechanisms, from direct information storage to the development of smart surfaces, originates from the network of curvatures formed in the unstable fluid under thermoconvective instability, which is subsequently quenched and resolidified. Under pulsed laser irradiation, non-equilibrium dynamics generate intricate nanoscale patterns, unveiling adaptive process mechanisms. We demonstrate that the imprints left by light act as a form of structural memory, encoding not only local effects directed by laser field polarization but also a cooperative strategy of reliefs that dynamically adjust surface morphology to optimize light capture. By investigating how apparent complexity and optical response are intricately intertwined, shaping one another, we establish a framework that draws parallels between material adaptation and learning dynamics observed in biological systems. |
