Maybe a little off-topic, but something I've been thinking of for a while. Has anyone ever tried to build a mesh network of nodes that react to signals and fire outputs? I'd to build a few million of these and evolve them to see if they'd ever do anything interesting.
Does anyone know if anyone is working on something like this?

- tricky 18y agobah.. i was thinking something more along the lines of "dumb" nodes that have very simple reactions to incoming signals. It would be really interesting to apply this research: Synchronization from Disordered Driving Forces in Arrays of Coupled Oscillators http://www.physics.wustl.edu/Fac/WesselPublications/2006BrandtDellenWesselPRL.pdf http://www.physics.wustl.edu/Fac/WesselPublications/2006Bran... to more of a neurological model.

- tricky 18y agoNo. Something more along the lines of interconnected signal processors that, after a while, achieve sort of a message pumping stasis. I think it would be interesting to evolve the network until it is able to "react" to changes in the outside environment (i.e. signals coming in from outside the network)
