| - **Sensors:** How can we make the MFM interface with the outside world, short of sticking a conventional computer on it and using the output from that? Can we develop a simple sort of light sensor, akin to the simplistic eyespots on some worms or fish? I'd particularly like to be able to setup some sort of reinforcement learning for the system, akin to making a simple plant cell reorient itself to get more light. | - **Sensors:** How can we make the MFM interface with the outside world, short of sticking a conventional computer on it and using the output from that?

| - **Diffusion of innovations:** As a totally different idea, I would like to have certain agents in an MFM represent individuals within a society that are trading new ideas. I'd have new ideas injected into the system through some localized agents, representing radios, TVs, or something. Once we could establish a sort of baseline of data on their behavior, we could even study things like the effects of 'censoring' some ideas by making some proportion of the idea emitters stop transmitting them. Should there be varying levels of idea acceptance for each agent? | - **Diffusion of innovations:** As a totally different idea, I would like to have certain agents in an MFM represent individuals within a society that are trading new ideas.

| | Of the ones above, I've gone with the [[:sensor_array|sensor system]]. Right now the design looks like a phased array of antenna elements surrounded by a grid. The grid is what does the actual sensing, whereas there are emitters of data along the inside of it. Pictures are forthcoming, but anyone can access the source code on GitHub: https://github.com/koko/MFMv2 |
