You'd still need a mediator to babysit the interaction tween the nets. For 
instance, if you had a fulltime vision nnet, there is no reason the Ai couldn't 
have a process to emit a good ole fashioned programmable interrupt when it 
sees a red disk hanging from a device over a traffic intersection. You wouldn't 
want that interrupt to go anywhere else but to a mediator, doing anything 
else with it would be seen by others as random behavior. I could prolly think 
up other reasons to moderate the nnets and their interconnectivity. Besides, 
if you commit to hardware, it's just dropping another fpga on the motherbd.
