Coordination : Schemas , Layers , and Neural Networks

Many articles on neural networks focus on learning, and restrict themselves to a limited class of simple neurons. The present paper is a tutorial designed, by contrast, to emphasize the "domain-specific" structure of neural networks, as well as to emphasize that technologists have much to learn from the study of neurobiological systems. The paper does not discuss optical implementations the author would appreciate comments on the feasibility of such implementations for the neural (and schema) networks described here.
