A neural neural network
loobbe attempts to mimic brain tissue. Neurons poses few modes of communication. The main mode of neuron-neuron communication is through impulses. A neuron fires and the depolarization of the neuron triggers a cascade through its axon which goes on to connect to a number of other neurons or external "actuators". Chemical signaling is another pathway for neuron-neuron communication. It maybe be added in the future. The key difference between loobbe and other neural networks is that loobbe does not consist of many small connected software objects Each having methods to allow access and such. loobbe modules attempt to mimic real cells which have no access methods. Communication will consist entirely of impulses. The objective of loobbe as a project is to create a neural network that can be trained to perform certain tasks and that can be visualized to create beautiful visuals.
loobbe was inspired by Dr. Hubert deBruin. The label "neural network" is applied liberally in Software. In reality neurons do not poses complex inputs and outputs. Neurons function mainly as integrators of the stimulus received at dendrites. Each neuron can be connected up to 100,000 other neurons. The intelligence does not live in the neurons but in the communication between the neurons. Somehow out of the disorder of a billion neurons firing we have coherent thoughts. The raison de etre of this project is to create a software network that recreates this "order out of disorder" phenomenon.
