After accomplishing that, I will try and add properties like boiling point, melting point, conductivity, etc and combine elements to make new elements with properties inherited from their parents.

  ===== Where to Start =====
- 
- ==== Interpretation ====
  
  The first thing to do is think of the basic idea of how I want to structure my project. Since this is, like it was pointed out in class, essentially just a fancy sorter, I had two main ideas for how to make/interpret the "music" (quotes added because it probably won't sound like music).
  
  === Moving Notes ===
@@ -60,9 +58,9 @@
  === Note ===
  
  As of my most recent idea of how this will work, notes will be stationary and will only know their vertical position and whether they are sharp, flat, or natural. Their vertical position in the MFM will be used to determine what pitch they represent. Each vertical step up in the MFM will represent one scale step up.
  
- === Sorter ===
+ === Sorter (need a cooler name) ===
  
  A Sorter will float around the MFM and if it sees a Res, it will either turn it into a Note or into another Sorter. If it sees a Note, it has a probability of moving it based on what the notes around it are and some very basic Music Theory rules (like creating or resolving tension). A Sorter will have to know things like their vertical position (so they know what pitches they are near), the scale/mode that is being used, the time signature that's being used (not going to touch this for a while), and the tempo (not going to touch this for a while). I might include some other things like how lenient you want the sorter to be with things like tension and dissonance. For the first iteration of this project, all the sorters will be the same. In the future I might want multiple types of sorters all running at once to create some interesting contrast in the music.

  ===== Project Ideas =====
    - **Distributed Attacks:** What are the vulnerabilities of the DHS? The first step to increasing security would be to find these exploitable areas. It might work well to inject malicious data packets into the system, which would try to examine nearby sorters and change their data values to mess up the sorters' performance. It would be best to devise defenses for said attacks as well, naturally.
    - **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.
    - **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? 
+ 
+ ===== Project Description =====
+ 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

A neural network is an algorithm we use -- it doesn't make sense to recreate it in the MFM (or maybe it does, but I'm not sure how at this point). In light of that realization, I took what I learned and leveraged the work I have done so far to change my project to low-fidelity data compression.
