public class Link
extends java.lang.Object

A Link represents a subsymbolic associative link between two chunks J and I. Spreading activation propogates from J to I. There are two ways to create a Link: 1) From Chunkj to Chunki when one of Chunkj's slots contains Chunki 2) From Chunkj to Chunki when Chunkj is in the goal buffer and Chunki has been positively matched within any other buffer
