I'll just tag this for later when I've had a chance to collect my thoughts.

Using #CactusGraphs or #MinimalNegations to implement pools of #MutuallyInhibitoryNeurons erects #NeuralArchitectures on substantially different foundations from current #Connectionist models. At a high level of abstraction, however, there is enough homology between the 2 orders to compare their performance on many of the same tasks. Thus I was able to try the program on a few examples suggested by #McClelland & #Rumelhart.

Given a representation of the Jets & Sharks universe in computer memory, we naturally want to see if the memory serves to supply the facts a well-constructed #DataBase should.

In their #PDPHandbook presentation of the Jets & Sharks example, #McClelland & #Rumelhart give several exercises for exploring the use of their #NeuralPool #MemoryModel on tasks of #Retrieval & #Generalization.

The manner of representation may be illustrated by transcribing a well-known example from the #ParallelDistributedProcessing literature (#McClelland and #Rumelhart 1988) and working through a couple of the associated exercises as translated into #LogicalGraphs.

One way to do this is to interpret the blank or #UnmarkedState as the #RestingState of a #NeuralPool, the bound or #MarkedState as its #ActivatedState, and to represent a pool of #MutuallyInhibitoryNeurons $a,b,c$ by the proposition $\mathtt{\text{(}}a\mathtt{\text{,}}b\mathtt{\text{,}}c\mathtt{\text{)}}.$

Example 5. Jets and Sharks

The #PropositionalCalculus based on #MinimalNegationOperators can be interpreted in a way resembling the logic of #ActivationStates and #CompetitionConstraints in one class of #NeuralNetwork models.

In developing the Theme One Program I tested successive versions of its #InferenceEngine for #PropositionalCalculus #ConstraintSatisfaction on examples of #Logic problems current in the literature of the day. #McClelland and #Rumelhart's #PDPHandbook set one of the wittiest gems ever to whet one's app-titude so I could hardly help but take it on. The linked text is a light revision of the way I set it up in the program's User Guide.
