Wireless Sensor Networks have recently become an important research area due to critical applications, e.g., in health monitoring and security. Those applications impose requirements for sustained, reliable, and fault-tolerant operation. We introduce a new ad-hoc wireless architecture in which forwarding is based on associativity and implicit dynamic gradients rather than explicit node-to-node connectivity. We show how our routing scheme forwards sensor data along fuzzy and intentionally redundant paths to provide for reliability and fault-tolerance.
