## Initial Provenance
The immediate historical provenance of this repository is a 1988-1989 master's thesis project by Wesley Royce Elsberry, implemented in Turbo Pascal, which combined Hopfield-style generation, backpropagation-based evaluation, and ART-style categorization in a hybrid musical composition system.
The immediate historical provenance of this repository is a 1989 master's thesis project by Wesley Royce Elsberry, implemented in Turbo Pascal, which combined Hopfield-style generation, backpropagation-based evaluation, and ART-style categorization in a hybrid musical composition system.
That work has already been reconstructed in Python elsewhere as a thesis-focused project. Synaptopus is the next abstraction layer: a more general repository for multi-architecture artificial neural systems, their interfaces, their orchestration, and their pedagogical presentation.

## Provenance
Synaptopus grows out of a much earlier line of work: a 1988-1989 master's thesis project at The University of Texas at Arlington by Wesley Royce Elsberry on hybrid artificial neural network modelling.
