This project is an attempt to bring a biological approach to AI.
Our goal is to generate a framework that encompasses all of the
meaningful properties of neurons (brain cells) and place them in
an architecture where they have the greatest possible freedom to
associate and evolve.
Where similar attempts in the past have simplified many aspects
of the biology, we believe that a complete representation of the
important biology is essential to success.

| Build on OSX |
----------------

0) Download cmake from http://www.cmake.org/download/

1) put CMake.app in /Applications

2) git clone https://github.com/elysia/elysia.git

3) cd elysia

4) git submodule init; git submodule update --init --recursive

5) cd externals/linuxdepends ; make protobuf

6) cd ../../brain/build

7) mkdir osx ; cd osx

8) /Applications/CMake.app/Contents/bin/cmake .. -G Xcode

9) open brain.xcodeproj

10) Go to the Product Menu and select Build

11) Go to the Product Menu and select Run (and authorize Xcode)

    and that loads a grid of cells without interconnections and
    runs it for some fixed number of cycles and then quits


12) To get commit access first fork it in the github interface then do

    git remote rm origin
    git remote add commonrepo https://github.com/elysia/elysia.git
    git remote add danielrh git://github.com/danielrh/elysia.git
    git remote add origin git@github.com:<yourusername>/elysia.git


    this makes your origin the one in github and it allows you to pull
    (read only) from danielrh and pull or push from the main elysia repo
    depending on whether you have write access or not to that repo
