+## Overview
+`slipnet.py` implements the Slipnet, a key component of the Copycat system that represents the conceptual network of relationships between different concepts. It manages a network of nodes (concepts) and links (relationships) that are used in analogical reasoning.
+
+## Core Components
+- `Slipnet` class: Main class that manages the conceptual network
+- Network of `Slipnode` objects representing concepts
+- Network of `Sliplink` objects representing relationships
+
+## Key Features
+- Manages a network of conceptual nodes and their relationships
+- Handles activation spreading between nodes
+- Supports both slip and non-slip links
+- Implements various types of relationships:
+  - Letter categories
+  - String positions
+  - Alphabetic positions
+  - Directions
+  - Bond types
+  - Group types
+  - Other relations
+
+## Node Types
+- Letters (a-z)
+- Numbers (1-5)
+- String positions (leftmost, rightmost, middle, single, whole)
+- Alphabetic positions (first, last)
+- Directions (left, right)
+- Bond types (predecessor, successor, sameness)
+- Group types (predecessorGroup, successorGroup, samenessGroup)
+- Categories (letterCategory, stringPositionCategory, etc.)
+
+## Link Types
+- Slip links (lateral connections)
+- Non-slip links (fixed connections)
+- Category links (hierarchical connections)
+- Instance links (specific examples)
+- Property links (attributes)
+- Opposite links (antonyms)
+
+## Dependencies
+- Requires `slipnode` and `sliplink` modules
+- Used by the main `copycat` module
+
+## Notes
+- The network is initialized with predefined nodes and links
+- Activation spreads through the network during reasoning
+- Some nodes are initially clamped to high activation
+- The network supports both hierarchical and lateral relationships
+- The system uses conceptual depth to determine link strengths
