<h2>Overview</h2><div class=“docstring”>

<div class="discussion">

<h1 id=“label-NEAT+–+Module+for+RubyNEAT.”>NEAT – Module for RubyNEAT.</h1>

<h2 id=“label-Synopsis”>Synopsis</h2>

<p>We have a Population of Critters, and each Critter represents a network of Neurons and a connection list specifying how those Neurons are connected.</p>

<p>Each Neuron has an inplicit genotype and phenotype component. Neurons, from the Ruby persoective, contain their own code to produce their own phenotypes.</p>

<p>There are input Neurons and output Neurons. The input Neurons are special, as they do not contain any input from other nodes, but serve as interfaces from the “real world”. Thier range of inputs are open, and it shall be up to the input Neuron&#39;s phenotype generators to condition those inputs, if need be, to someething more suiable for the neural network.</p>

<h2 id=“label-Issues”>Issues</h2>

<h3 id=“label-Multicore+%2F+Cloud+Computing”>Multicore / Cloud Computing</h3>

<p>Some thought needs to be given to how to make this anenable to multiple processes so that we can leverage the power of multicore systems as well as multiple computers in the Cloud, etc.</p>

<p>Our initial inclination is to put all of that functionality in the Conroller.</p>
