AI summary

An artificial intelligence system can be implemented to identify relationships through the propagation of ripple patterns through a grid. In such a system, the grid may comprise cells which operate as cellular automata. Relationships may be identified based on collisions of signals detected by the cells in the grid, and, when a relationship is identified, it may be used to create high speed connections between cells.
