 == Synopsis
 We have a Population of Critters, and each Critter
 represents a network of Neurons and a connection list specifying
 how those Neurons are connected.

 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

+== Uniquely Generated Named Objects (UGNOs)
+Every RubyNEAT Object instance is assigned a unique name generated randomly.
+The name has no other significance other than to uniquely identify the object.
+
+We have chosen the names of the letters of various alphabets to be the core
+of those names. The list may be subject to change until we are out of alpha,
+then will be set in quick drying concrete.
