Standard Network

This network does not utilize and special neuron or weight update functions. It functions like the top-level network (in fact the top-level network just is a standard network), as described in network operation: Inputs are computed, all neuron's update functions are called, synapse update functions are called, and then outputs are sent out.

The advantage of encapsulating a regular network in a subnetwork are (1) that current and future layout methods can be used and (2) it may be useful to ensure that a subset of a network's nodes and weights are updated as a collective.

Note: Currently any weights added are added to the top level network, and not the subnetwork.
