Systems and/or devices for efficient and intuitive methods for implementing artificial neural networks specifically designed for parallel AI processing are provided herein. In various implementations, the disclosed systems, devices, and methods complement or replace conventional systems, devices, and methods for parallel neural processing that (a) greatly reduce neural processing time necessary to process more complex problem sets; (b) implement neuroplasticity necessary for self-learning; and (c) introduce the concept and application of implicit memory, in addition to explicit memory, necessary to imbue an element of intuition. With these properties, implementations of the disclosed invention make it possible to emulate human consciousness or awareness.
