Not sure if a feature like this might already exist or be possible..
Products are dynamically added to a category's other assigned products (if any) based on rules or conditionals....
Rules would work with product fields, custom fields, date added / modified, etc. Would be ideal for "Brand Categories", New Arrivals, Featured Sub-Sets, etc.
I found a description for a similar feature from Magento:
Smart category rules dynamically change the product selection according to a set of conditions. Each category can have one smart category rule, but a single rule can have many conditions.
You can show only the products that meet the conditions of the rule, or add them to the list of products already in the category. For example, you can create a smart category for a specific brand. Products of the same brand are automatically added, even if they’re not assigned to the same category. You can add as many conditions to the expression as needed to describe the products to include.
Each condition has an attribute, value, and logical operator. Only attributes with the “Use in Product Listing” property set to “Yes” are available for smart category rules. If you want to use an attribute that is not included in the list, open the attribute in edit mode, and set "Use in Product Listing" to “Yes.”
Although Date attributes are not supported, you can use the Date Created or Date Modified attributes to define a date or range of dates. For example, to include only products that were created during the past week, set Date Created to a value of “<7.”
