Amazing. It really is. In one project there was these two devices which were connected together by analog signals. Through intelligent design I could know what the signal should look like while they were connectd, but my challenge was to see if the boxes were okay when they weren't connected and the signal looked all different. To further complicate the problem, the boxes and therefore the signals would occasionally be modified and so the signal levels would change. The evolving program would send the signals of the boxes separately through the neural net and learn their characteristic frequency spreads and strength. The neural net also was fed the output of the devices after they were connected and so learned what characteristics applied to a good box, or a bad box. The program became able to tell if a box would be good or bad from it's individual signals even though nobody knew exactly what those signals would be when the circuit wasn't complete. The program also learned on it's own when the design had changed just by seeing that the changes lead to a circuit that worked in the end. Ah there is so much more I could say here but I'll be polite. Amazing is really quite enough to say until you understand the process more. TP
