I'm designing some software, and would like to know if this sort of thing has been done before. I'm using a 64 X 64 array of binary inputs, starting with about 5 levels (each 64 X 64) and the output the same size. Each node has 9 inputs, each with a bias to pass or invert the binary value of the source node, resulting in summations in the set (-9, -7, -5, -3, -1, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9) where positive results generate a value of 1, and negative values generate zero. 1. Is this a brain-dead way of doing things? 2. Will it be good for anything? I was thinking in terms of image filters. The reason I want to do this, is that once it's out of learn mode, I will probably be able to process about 50,000 to 150,000 of these binary nodes per second on my home PC (Amiga) by using one of it's custom chips. /\/\ /| | /||| /\| | John M.
