So, IIUC creating a NN basically follows this process: - define an input vector space (i.e choose dimensions you want to operate on with input data) - define your categories in another space (or another basis in the same space?) - set up a transformation pipeline between the two spaces (with at least two stages) - devise an algorithm that takes categorised elements and produces new transformation matrices - train the NN (i.e feed input and categorise the result so that through some algorithm the transformation matrices converge)
