Thanks for sharing, I need to dive into that deeper when I have some relaxation time!

It's funny that you mention that because the mathematics used to describe the dynamics of artificial neural networks are the same mathematics used to describe (artificial) gene networks. In effect, a gene network is the 'brain' of the cell. In fact, it was such an effective system that life re-evolved this computational architecture with a different substrate: neurons. Functionalism at its finest! Insofar as cells communicate with one another and are composed of the exact same gene networks (albeit in different states), you basically have one giant meta neural network comprised of identical 'tiles' neural networks each 'tile' connected to their nearest neighbors.
