« Creation is a palimpsest through which one deciphers God » Victor Hugo RU3 project proposes an operation model based upon an application of the palimpsest effect (1).
 The designers of neuronal networks use the palimpsest effect in the following technique: when neuronal connections involved in the process of memorization are not periodically reactivated, these liaisons are reused to store other data. This principle is integrated as a fundamental concept in the RU3 model of intelligent network. The access paths to the most used pieces of information are the most redundant. The paths leading to obsolete pieces of information, or to dead ends, erase themselves off the collective memory.
