on fang's 3 motor walker page, he said he was using a 6 neuron nervous
net instead of a 4 neuron microcore... I thought they were one and the
same. oh well. can anyone help me?

A microcore IS a nervous net, but a nervous net is not necessarily a microcore
:). "Microcore" is just a name given to a nervous net with 4 nervous
neurons, just like bicore is the name given to a nervous net with two neurons.
I guess a more logical name would be Quadrocore, but maybe MWT didn't feel
that had enough sci-fi coolness factor. Got it?
