So using this construct, you need a hardware system that can remap pathways between sensors without rigid architecture and via processes that are emergent based on environmental changes. Yep. Only in my case, my day-dreaming about this to date had me considering using digital components (digital switches, multiplexers, ADC/DAC's, etc) to build the configurable routing part. Not to say that I'm convinced that is the right approach, it's just some stuff that was bubbling around in my head. I have a drawing of this but haven't uploaded it anywhere. That would be great. And if you'd like to move this discussion to a different forum (aside from comments on an HN thread) feel free to ping me directly @ prhodes@fogbeam.com. Or keeping it here is fine. Either way's good with me.
