I hate posting "me too!" messages, but here I think I will.  I have, at
best, only a _very_ vauge idea what you mean by AI Nodes and/or ANN
(Artificial Neural Nets?).  I'd love to see a fairly in depth discussion,
preferably starting with an intro (not all of us can take the time to stay
current on this list AND surf the web for info on topics discussed ;).
Sample code would be lovely too.  :)

I seem to recall a brief discussion on something similar quite a while
back...
