The ConTeXt typesetting system tightly integrates Lua. One aspect of Lua I dislike is that it isn't object-oriented. What's impressive is that the language can be extended to be so in astonishingly little code: * https://github.com/kikito/middleclass/blob/master/middleclass.lua https://github.com/kikito/middleclass/blob/master/middleclas... Using OOP, typesetting a hexagonal grid and a symbolic representation of a neural network on top is easier develop, IMO. A vertex defines a point in 2D space: * https://github.com/DaveJarvis/keenwrite-themes/blob/main/boschet/Vertex.lua https://github.com/DaveJarvis/keenwrite-themes/blob/main/bos... An edge connects two vertices: * https://github.com/DaveJarvis/keenwrite-themes/blob/main/boschet/Edge.lua https://github.com/DaveJarvis/keenwrite-themes/blob/main/bos... A graph connects edges: * https://github.com/DaveJarvis/keenwrite-themes/blob/main/boschet/Graph.lua https://github.com/DaveJarvis/keenwrite-themes/blob/main/bos... A priority queue serves for ordering edges by weight of adjoining vertices: * https://github.com/DaveJarvis/keenwrite-themes/blob/main/boschet/PriorityQueue.lua https://github.com/DaveJarvis/keenwrite-themes/blob/main/bos... With these concepts in hand, we can typeset a grid and a "neural network" on top: * https://github.com/DaveJarvis/keenwrite-themes/blob/main/boschet/perceptron.tex https://github.com/DaveJarvis/keenwrite-themes/blob/main/bos... Here's an example of the output from the first chapter: * https://i.ibb.co/19DCDZy/ch-1.png https://i.ibb.co/19DCDZy/ch-1.png And a later chapter, where the "network" has grown in complexity: * https://i.ibb.co/ncf16vg/ch-2.png https://i.ibb.co/ncf16vg/ch-2.png This is for my near future hard sci-fi book on AGI. I'm looking for alpha readers to give me feedback. See profile for contact details. P.S. There's a subtle bug in the code that can result in one or two disconnected vertices. If you spot it, let me know!
