Neural Net: A New Kind of Processor (HELP)

    I am (trying & so far failing) to design a new kind of processor: A neural network.

    So far, it is a simple proof of concept idea.The idea is that at rest, the neural network (henceforth referred to as the NN), the network has predictable patterns, but with the occasional, unpredictable burst of random action. There would be at least one input, and at least 3 outputs.

    I only need a "neuron". A neuron in this system would only react in a random, yet slightly unpredictable, way of output.

    REQUIREMENTS FOR A NEURON:

    * Omnidirectional capability. In other words, it is gravity independent, and has outputs on all four sides.

    * It must have at least 4 inputs and four outputs.

    * A neuron may not reflect a signal the way it came back immediately. It can after a small delay, but not immediately, In other words, no spark bouncing.

    *A neuron may only react with a single spark down one wire. It can have outputs on multiple wires, but not twice on one wire from one input.

    *It must be sufficiently random. No completely predictable stuff.

    * It must react within 5 seconds.


    I know, it is a long list, but it has to be fairly normal, and no cheating.

    STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT:

    Proof of concept (X)
    *Small neural net
    *Reacts to only inputs
    *one overall output.

    Small Processor ( )
    *Has 3 inputs and three outputs
    *Reacts to inputs in a more complex way
    *Still has neural action even with no current/recent output

    Functioning Input/Output Processor ( )
    *Same as small processor, and the following:
    *A "ticker" to initiate random action
    *Possible "brain death," due to certain inputs being activated, or because of overflow
    *Inputs input to different areas to change the reaction. In other words, reactions are not started by other reactions, but reactions change depending on where the reaction originates.
    *A neuron system that allows memory to be stored without SWCH.


    Please, tell me what you think of this, but remember: All I am requesting is a neuron that complies with the above specifications.

    Nice idea. I suck at electronics so I rly can't help.

    This is not all electronics. There is a physical aspect involved.

    I still suck. It's waaaaaayyyyyy too complicated for my royal noobieness.

    Do you have a specified size?

    You're trying to make a "brain"? LOL

    Yup, a braain. But my brain cannot help him make a brain. It is too busy thinking about Jupiter.

    I had an Idea untill you said no switch.

    @TheRazorsEdge
    the first thing to do would to find somethin that works, then make it small.

    i tried to make a contemporary neuron on TPT a while ago, it did not have the result i was moping for.

    I made one! It has 2 states.
    In 1st it connects left-top and right-bottom, and in second it connects left-bottom and right-top;
    But it always SHOULD have non simple initial condition
