public class Network extends Object implements Iterable<Neuron>, Serializable
Neuron instances and the links
 between them.
 Although updating a neuron's state is thread-safe, modifying the
 network's topology (adding or removing links) is not.| Modifier and Type | Class and Description |

 will be added to this network.featureSize - Size of the neuron's features.public Network copy()

comparator - Comparator used for sorting the neurons.comparator.Network.NeuronIdentifierComparatorpublic long createNeuron(double[] features)
features - Initial values for the neuron's features.DimensionMismatchException - if the length of features
 is different from the expected size (as set by the
 constructor).public void deleteNeuron(Neuron neuron)

 this network.public int getFeaturesSize()

a to neuron b.
 Note: the link is not bi-directional; if a bi-directional link is
 required, an additional call must be made with a and
