Class AndNode

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Comparable<Node>, Writable

    public class AndNode
    extends Node<AndNode,​AndActivation>
    The InputNode and the AndNode classes together form a pattern lattice, containing all possible substructures of any given conjunction. For example if we have the conjunction ABCD where A, B, C, D are the inputs, then the pattern lattice will contain the nodes ABCD, ABC, ABD, ACD, BCD, AB, AC, AD, BC, BD, CD, A, B, C, D. The pattern lattice is organized in layers, where each layer only contains conjunctions/patterns of the same size. These layers are connected through refinements. For example the and-node ABD on layer 3 is connected to the and-node ABCD on layer 4 via the refinement C.
