Well yes, like I said, we can recap the fact that logic gates are a special case of neurons, but this fact is of limited use: 1) _You_ can set up circuits in this way, but the network itself can't, 2) Even then, it only works for purely combinatorial problems and breaks down once e.g. recursion comes into play - how would you go about implementing Quicksort in this way? (If the answer starts with "well, von Neumann machines are made of logic gates...", I'll consider my case made :)) ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: http://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=101455710-f059c4 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
