# blocked_representation

A blocked_representation is a representation that indicates the concatentation of multiple identical representations; it is therefore used to produce layers that act partly or wholly as a parallel set of homogeneous layers.

# set_element

    some_br set_element a_rep

Set the representation that is (conceptually) internally repeated in `some_br` to be `a_rep`.

# number

    some_br number an_int

Set the number of repetitions of `some_br` to be `an_int`.

# block

    some_br block an_int a_rep

Set the representation and number simultaneously.

# element

    some_br element

Return the representation that is conceptually repeated to produce `some_br`
