No, such a net would have to be programmed with exact algorithms. Creating the algorithms would require anticipation of use cases, most likely based on prior experience and on speculation. It would only be a mystery to those who don't understand the algorithms, or to algorithm designers who are confronted by inconsistencies that arise when their algorithms are applied.
