Brain Building Kit Intro

From Lettvin

This project is a "Brain Building Kit". It is intended for the use of scientific amateurs and hobbyists, engineers, and mathematicians. The base kit for amateurs consists of software (and possibly hardware) to construct topologies and run signals through these topologies. An enhanced kit for engineers contains an extensive library of topologies and signal sets to demonstrate their operation. Mathematicians receive a further enhancement consisting of instruction to help them design new topologies based on knowledge of signal characteristics.

What we are building here is a model that imitates what is observed. Whether this is how nature works is up to some experimentalist to prove.
