Package emergent is the overall repository for the emergent neural network simulation software, written in Go (golang) with Python wrappers. This top-level of the repository has no functional code -- everything is organized into the following sub-repositories: * emer: defines the primary structural interfaces for emergent, at the level of Network, Layer, and Prjn (projection). These contain no algorithm-specific code and are only about the overall structure of a network, sufficient to support general purpose tools such as the 3D NetView. It also houses widely-used support classes used in algorithm-specific code, including things like MinMax and AvgMax, and also the parameter-styling infrastructure (emer.Params, emer.ParamStyle, emer.ParamSet and emer.ParamSets). * erand has misc random-number generation support functionality, including erand.RndParams for parameterizing the type of random noise to add to a model, and easier support for making permuted random lists, etc. * netview provides the NetView interactive 3D network viewer, implemented in the GoGi 3D framework. * prjn is a separate package for defining patterns of connectivity between layers (i.e., the ProjectionSpecs from C++ emergent). This is done using a fully independent structure that *only* knows about the shapes of the two layers, and it returns a fully general bitmap representation of the pattern of connectivity between them. The leabra.Prjn code then uses these patterns to do all the nitty-gritty of connecting up neurons. This makes the projection code *much* simpler compared to the ProjectionSpec in C++ emergent, which was involved in both creating the pattern and also all the complexity of setting up the actual connections themselves. This should be the *last* time any of those projection patterns need to be written (having re-written this code too many times in the C++ version as the details of memory allocations changed). * patgen supports various pattern-generation algorithms, as implemented in taDataGen in C++ emergent (e.g., PermutedBinary and FlipBits). * timer is a simple interval timing struct, used for benchmarking / profiling etc. * python contains a template Makefile that uses [GoPy](https://github.com/goki/gopy) to generate python bindings to the entire emergent system. See the leabra package version to actually run an example.
