Caustic Network

A caustic network is essentially a great many interrelated caustic light traces. Caustics are a refinement on raytracing, a recursive type of lighting in which any partially transparent, refractive object is treated as a light source itself, scattering the refracted light onto other objects as a separate raytrace.

What happens when this refracted light hits other transparent, refractive objects, is the formation of a caustic network. Each object scatters the reflected light it receives in a furhter caustic raytrace.

Since if left alone, in an environment with many such objects, a caustic network could loop forever, artificial boundaries are placed, either upon the number of alliteration, the number of clockcycles to use, or both.

Neurons in the brain communicate by short electrical pulses, the so-called action potentials or spikes. How can we understand the process of spike generation? How can we understand information transmission by neurons? What happens if thousands of neurons are coupled together in a seemingly random network? How does the network connectivity determine the activity patterns?





The book is based round the concept of the network is not the great equaliser, an egalitarian construct that has, since the Internet became a powerful social force, begun to spread out into all works of life, with network-centric organisation. Instead, the authors state that the exploit ? a direct reference to the hacker term ? is a common corporate and subversive means of taking quiet control of the flow and direction of networks.
