I'm not sure if this makes any sense, but is it possible to add,
remove, or deactivate certain input nodes in a Conx neural network
after it's been trained?

For example, consider a network that takes 3-inputs representing
colors red, green, and blue. The network has N outputs, each
indicating whether or not the color arraignment matches a particular
object. Suppose I've trained this network on a corpus to match r,g,b
colors to N objects, but now I want to train it on a different corpus
missing the color red.

I know in this trivial example it would probably be easiest to build
and train a separate network, but imagine if this example were scaled
to a larger non-trivial network, one with dozens or hundreds of input
nodes. In that scenario I've spent a considerable amount of time
training the network, so I wouldn't want to start from scratch if I
could help it.

Would it be possible in this case to "turn-off" the red input, and
train/propagate using only the other two colors, but still have the
option to "re-activate" the input later to again use the network with
all three colors?

Regards,
Chris
