Rethinking Sigma's Graphical Architecture: An Extension to Neural Networks

The status of Sigma’s grounding in graphical models is challenged by the ways in which their semantics has been violated while incorporating rule-based reasoning into them. This has led to a rethinking of what goes on in its graphical architecture, with results that include a straightforward extension to feedforward neural networks (although not yet with learning).
