Now I am rewriting the core libraries and the whole system in C# and .Net as several packages. Cognate - The core Concept Map and Cognition/Neural Net/Pulsed Neuron Model. This has the run-time code and the ability to load/store cognitive systems, and the design level definitions.  And much more. NuTank - A (Steam platform?) C# game, multiplayer where 'tanks' battle
