Could a neural network evolve in the i-ther?
Furthermore, all the ingredients seem to be present for generating a working neural network. It is known that experimental neural nets exhibit memory and have learning capability. It does not seem unreasonable, therefore, to suggest that a further refinement, by a process similar to Darwinian evolution, could generate a background state of intelligence and consciousness. This extension of the logic is admittedly more speculative but, if confirmed by further study, it offers a very convincing explanation for many phenomena at present regarded as anomalous. These anomalies are so embarrassing to theorists that they are currently ignored. They are aspects to be considered later in this article. An asymmetry is required so that the i-ther can generate the power needed. The rest energy of positive primaries needs to exceed that of its negative partners on average. Then, so that total energy gains balance at each pair collision, the kinetic energy of negative primaries needs to exceed that o
