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.
