<p>Take the genotype of the critter and create a phenotype from the genotype.</p>

<p>In the phenotype, it creates a function called stimulate(), which is called with the input parameters and returns a response in the form of a response hash (which corresponds directly to the output neurons).</p>

<p>This implementation assumes an acyclic graph (feed forward) and cannot handle cycles at all. Later we may fix this or create a type of Expressor that can.</p>
