%% @doc Core type specifications for Macula TWEANN
%%
%% This file defines all custom types used throughout the TWEANN system.
%% Types are organized by category: basic types, identifiers, weights,
%% network components, and evolutionary operators.
%%
%% == Type Naming Conventions ==
%% - All types use descriptive, full names (no abbreviations)
%% - Compound types use underscores for readability
%% - Function types end with _function suffix
%%
%% == Weight Tuple Format ==
%% The weight_spec() type documents the critical 4-tuple format used
%% throughout the system for synaptic weights with plasticity support:
%%   {Weight, DeltaWeight, LearningRate, ParameterList}

%% Basic Numeric Types
%%==============================================================================

%% @doc Standard weight value for synaptic connections
-type weight() :: float().

%% @doc Delta weight - momentum term for weight updates
%% Used in gradient-based learning and plasticity rules
-type delta_weight() :: float().

%% @doc Learning rate parameter for plasticity rules
-type learning_rate() :: float().

%% @doc Additional parameters for plasticity rules
%% Different rules require different parameter sets

%%==============================================================================
%% Weight Specifications
%%==============================================================================

%% @doc Complete weight specification with plasticity support
%%
%% This is the core data structure for synaptic weights in the system.
%% Each weight carries:
%%   - Current weight value
%%   - Momentum term (delta_weight) for smoother updates
%%   - Learning rate for plasticity rule
%%   - Parameter list specific to the plasticity rule
%%
%% Example:
%%   {0.5, 0.0, 0.1, [0.1, 0.2]} means:
%%   - Weight = 0.5
%%   - DeltaWeight = 0.0 (no momentum yet)
%%   - LearningRate = 0.1
%%   - Parameters = [0.1, 0.2] for the plasticity rule
-type weight_spec() :: {weight(), delta_weight(), learning_rate(), parameter_list()}.
