ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a direct digitally implemented network system in which neural nodes 24, 26 and 28 which output to the same destination node 22 in the network share the same channel 30. If a set of nodes does not output any data to any node to which a second set of nodes outputs data (the two sets of nodes to not overlap or intersect), the two sets of nodes are independent and do not share a channel and have separate channels 120 and 122. The network is configured as parallel operating non-intersecting segments or independent sets where each segment has a segment communication channel or bus 30. Each node in the independent set or segment is sequentially activated to produce an output by a daisy chain control signal. The outputs are thereby time division multiplexed over the channel 30 to the destination node 22.
