- Threshold is evolutionary
- Voltage is evolutionary
- Threshold rate is evolutionary
- If the threshold is met within the threshold rate, the neuron fires the voltage to all of it's listeners.

Threshold
Define
- Neurons have a threshold, if that threshold is met within a certain amount of time, the neuron fires.
- Neurons always fire the same signal to all of it's listeners. (example: Neuron A has two receivers, both will recive a value of 1 when the neuron fires.)
- Neurons can listen to as many other neurons as they wish.
- Neurons can only listen to the same neuron once. (example: Neuron A listens to Neuron B, Neuron A can't not add another listener to Neuron B)

Threshold
Inital Idea
The human body is always struggling to find a balance. Not just a balance within it's self (like the regulation of glucose in the blood stream) but also within our vision (Images that aren't balanced cause distress while images that are in balance make us feel peaceful and relaxed) and within our lives. So my thought was that when trying to create new life, it should also struggle for balance. The easiest way to create a life form that struggles for balance is to have the very elements that make up that life form struggle for balance themselves.
Balance Neuron
A neuron that is always trying to balance it's input with it's output. If it gets a 5 as in input, it will return -5 as it's output.
Sum all inputs, and invert the value for the output.
Example: 2 + 3 + 2 => -7
By it's self, this might not seam like much, but chained together I hope to create a system that can solve new problems without human interaction. Maybe even learn to communicate with humans in an intelligent way.
