14.4.3 Computing the (weighed) average and Z parameters.

(applies only once the rule scheme has been set in #13, and for a rule mix, with or without random wiring). If ``z`` is entered at #14.2 or #14.3, the program calculates the averages, and weighted averages, of the , ratio, and Z parameter values of the rules making up the rule mix. This data is displayed at the top of the wiring graphic window. For random wiring and/or mixed neighbourhoods, the weighted averages take account of the influence each cell has on the network according to is proportion of the network's out-wires. In networks with regular wiring and no rule mix, the weighted average equals the average.
