“The first attempts to consider the behavior of so-called "random neural nets" in a systematic way have led to a series of problems concerned with relations between the "structure" and the "function" of such nets. The "structure" of a random net is not a clearly defined topological manifold such as could be used to describe a circuit with explicitly given connections. In a random neural net, one does not speak of "this" neuron synapsing on "that" one, but rather in terms of tendencies and probabilities associated with points or regions in the net.” WayFirstsDoeProblemUsedSpeakGivenTermBehaviorConcernedConnectionsFunctionRelationStructureSeriesTendenciesDefinedRegionsProbabilitySystematicCircuitsNeuronsManifold Author:Anatol Rapoport
“Although the drama of games of strategy is strongly linked with the psychological aspects of the conflict, game theory is not concerned with these aspects. Game theory, so to speak, plays the board. It is concerned only with the logical aspects of strategy.” PlayGamesSpeakTheoryDramaConflictConcernedAspectStrategyPsychologicalBoardsLogicalLinked Author:Anatol Rapoport
