Internal to housing lyph routing #250

Open albatros13 opened 1 year ago

albatros13 commented 1 year ago

In relation to issue #249, there is a model generation question:

should a chain that starts in an internal lyph positioned in another lyph reenter the main lyph via its border? In all generated chains, first and last links start and end inside the corresponding housing lyphs while all intermediate levels traverse houising lyphs from one side to another, and corresponding node placing constraints are added to the model. However, it does not look like in reality neurons that start inside of a part of a lyph do that.

I think we need to introduce a new rule and create relationships startsIn and endsIn for 2nd tyre of the generated chain like in this example. image

Or modellers should avoid creating chains that originate and end in internal lyphs: the same situation can correctly be modelled by creating a separate link that connects internal lyph with its hosting lyph.
