Encoding information like the brain does

Although it remains a mystery how the brain encodes information, we do have some clues. The brain uses neurons to create a web of interconnectedness, forming new connections as necessary.

From a math perspective, this is somewhat analogous to a graph. A graph has nodes and edges. Directed graphs have nodes and directed edges.

Thesis: Modeling an AI's understanding of the world (data structure) using nodes and edges will give rise more naturally to intelligent algorithms.
