The human nervous system is a network of neurons that are wired together by synapses. The cells interact through these synaptic junctions. New point connections are grown by the cell by creating synapses which can be connected to other neurons, creating a very smart evolving network.
Systems on Axon, like the human nervous system, is a network of agents that are connected to each other in an interaction fabric. Unlike present day AI, Axon systems are not defined by data but defined by the Axon Programming language. The axon programming language grows synapses/connections on each of the autonomous agents and also moves these grown connections/synapses around the autonomous agent network, to create an artificial Synaptic network (ASN) just like the synapses of the human nervous system.
Axon intelligent supply chain, is an Artificial synaptic network, wired to sense the environment like Road closures or demand changes due to weather events and respond by increasing capacity in alternate routes and changing inventory levels in anticipation of changes in demand.
