In this release I am preserving the model simulation in the state used for the results in report3. The main change to earlier versions was the introduction of 100 random odours and setting the local inhibition in the antennal lobe as a function of the correlations between glomerular activations. The correlations were translated (possibly not entirely on purpose) to the range of values k*[0.5, 1.5], where k is regulating the overall strength of inhibition. k was 3e-5*10^{x/2}. x \in {-2,-1,-0.5,0,1,2} (the values of x are ino and appear in the file names of results files).
As report3 is illustrating, these simulations were not quite fully satisfactory in that the mixture of two odours, one monotonic and one non-monotonic is still leading to a non-monotonic behaviour whenever the non-monotonic odour has more than negligible concentration. This contradicts my understanding that a strong monotonic odour response should continue unaffected (at least for some example) when mixed with the non-monotonic odour. Knowing that non-monotonicity seems to be based on broad activation of glomeruli and resulting broad and strong inhibition it seems unlikely that in this model a monotonic odour could be unaffected like this.
