    • johntkucz, on 03/28/2008, -0/+0haha! nice definitely a universal astronomical "globular cluster" feel to it. They should add this to global map topology -- terrain, political boundaries, geography, and internet connectivity...imagine all of that on a map! Yeowza!

  • JLecker, on 03/24/2008, -4/+60Weird, it looks like a bunch of neurons. Do you think that's a coincidence, or is that the optimum configuration for such systems (or something)?
    • DeskFlyer, on 03/24/2008, -1/+66Skynet prefers maximum efficiency.
    • KenCW, on 03/24/2008, -3/+2Or something.

    • ceralor, on 03/24/2008, -0/+3I remember reading an article about a company that's using a computer system trying to emulate a small section of rat brains. Why not focus more on mesh networks like this that actually simulate, or seem to simulate, a brain.
