To begin using it in the Console, you would need to check that box with

"Enable remote control".



The neocorex is a simple engine, it was intended to be used automaticaly

by computer programs. 



If you have a neocortex program with an active instance in it, you

provide it with the number of methods you have localy to solve a

particular set of problems and then as your program runs, use the

results from the neocortex and feedback the info if the effect was

something good or something bad. The neocortex decides what method

should be used.



Since the neocortex is intended for programatic use, it does not report

back to the user, but stores the result as a variable in the local

database. Later when ICI scriptlanguage is fully supported, there will

be a way to automaticaly insert the variable value into the executing

command (as a parameter for example). 



With the neocortex and ICI scriptlanguage, intelligent Agents can be

formed, for example for collecting information by: 

1. Recieving a command from a user and storing his IP and request type

to a local data variable

2. Sending an echo-bounce request to determine the location of a

neocortex

3. Sending the located neocortex a setup of how much methods this agent

knows

4. Requesting a result from the neocotex

5. Doing whatever the selected method is supposed to be doing (this

method could as well be a function)

6. Collecting the results from the method.

7. Evaluating the results with a results evaluation function

(echo-bounce locate, send all info)

8. Sending the neocortex the results from the evaluating function as

effect

9. Sending the info (from step #6) to the requesting user

10. Return to step #4 unless the requesting user says there is enough

info returned



This would be like:

1. ''A function required to start the script and set innital data.

2. DO Echo:Probe,Neocortex ''Let's say Echo stores the return to "Echo

loc Neocortex"

3. SENDTO [(Data|Echo loc Neocortex)] Neocortex:Setup,8 ''Let's say the

number of methods is 8

4. SENDTO [(Data|Echo loc Neocortex)] Neocortex:GetAResult

   SENDTO [(Data|Echo loc Neocortex)] Data:Transfer,Neocortex

(Setting|Describtion) ''Let's say the neocortex stores results per-user

   DO Data: Set,Method,(Data|Neocortex (Setting|Describtion))

5. DO TranslateMethod: Execute ''Let's say "TranslateMethod" will write

results to "TranslatedMethod" and "TranslatedMethodLocation" and do any

Echo:Probe if required

   SENDTO [(Data|TranslatedMethodLocation)] (Data|TranslatedMethod):

Execute

6. SENDTO [(Data|TranslatedMethodLocation)]

Data:Transfer,TranslatedMethod

   DO Data: Set,Result,(Data|TranslatedMethod)

7. DO Echo:Probe,EvaluateResults ''Let's say Echo stores the return to

"Echo loc EvaluateResults"

   SENDTO [(Data|Echo loc EvaluateResults)]

EvaluateResults:(Data|Result),(Data|Type of request) ''Let's say this

will write to a variable named "EvaluatedResults"

   SENDTO [(Data|Echo loc EvaluateResults)]

Data:Transfer,EvaluatedResults

   DO Data: Set,Effect,(Data|EvaluatedResults)

8. SENDTO [(Data|Echo loc Neocortex)] Neocortex:SetEffect,(Data|Effect)

9. SENDTO [(Data|Original user)] User:(Data|Result)

10. ''Call original function to return the script to step #4

   

C'ya!
