Nice work Ken
Its especially interesting when this field breaks into multi dimension (
or hypercube in Ruths words ) start including hologram memory retention
and the shifting POVS as you can now change your vector all around the
dimension and all sorts of wonderful patterns come into view. Maybe
mother nature with her fractal geometry for everything has some real
relevance but we just have difficulty laying everything out in 2d and
start from the wrong perspective
Keep it up and feed more to the group

Pete,
First, thanks for the Charney link. For the past several years I have
been working with connective Compositional Pattern Producing Networks
(CPPNs) in HyperNEAT.
http://eplex.cs.ucf.edu/papers/stanley_alife09.pdf
Specifically, I have been using CPPN's for pattern discovery in
evolving complex systems. Jason Gauci wrote this interesting
introduction to unsupervised pattern learning in a simple checkers
game using these techniques - an definite improvement on Blondie24:

readable one
Here is the actual presentation that was unreadable on Youtube
Ruth sent it to me and Steve reposted it at
http://www.friam.org/Charney_MAA10-08.pdf
She does remarkable work and thanks Tom for the heads up
Will do the same with Marty Golibitskys similar presentation " Patterns Patterns
Everywhere " when I get it

*Ruth Charney on Modeling with Cubes [Macromedia Flash Player]*
http://www.maa.org/news/102308charney.html
The Mathematical Association of America (MAA) continues to build
on their already solid online presence with the addition of this
lecture by noted mathematician and scholar Professor Ruth
Charney. This particular lecture was given at the MAA's Carriage
House Conference Center in the fall of 2008 and it deals with how
cubes can be used to represent a variety of systems. As Charney
notes, "The geometry of these spaces is strange, complicated, and
a lot of fun to study." Visitors to the site can watch several
particularly lucid examples from Charney's talk, read her
biography, and also read a detailed interview with her conducted
by Michael Pearson. [KMG]
