Connection-set algebra (CSA) library

A library for constructing connection matrices between two collections of elements. Inspired by Mikael Djurfeldt's article from 2012 (Neuroinformatics).

Introduction

Connection-set algebra is a powerful algebra for describing connections between two elements. This library provides a syntax tree for modeling the set operations, as well as a means to transform the operations into adjacency matrices.

Installation

This is a library and not an executable. Clone the repository, enter it and run stack build (requires stack).

Connection-set algebra (CSA)

Say that you have two nodes that connect to each other. In a adjacency matrix this can be described as a full connection like so:

    1 2
  + ———
1 | 1 1
2 | 1 1

In CSA this is simply an AllToAll connection. Similarly a OneToOne connection describes the following adjacency matrix:

    1 2
  + ———
1 | 1 0
2 | 0 1

And here is the algebra part: If we say AllToAll - OneToOne we get:

    1 2
  + ———
1 | 0 1
2 | 1 0
