Quotations
115 ;;Quote: a neuron is a threshold device within a period of latent addition, synaptic delay, refractory period, and inhibition
| 115+;;Quote: the specificity of a nerve's impulses depends solely on their time and place
| 117 ;;Quote: the firing of a neuron is equivalent to the assertion of a simple proposition
| 120 ;;Quote: acyclic neuron nets and temporal propositional expressions are equivalent
| 124 ;;Quote: learn by altering the structure of a neuron net; e.g., enable a synapse if both sides are simultaneously excited
| 129 ;;Quote: Turing machines and neuron nets are equivalent, also Church's lambda-definability and Kleene's primitive recursiveness
| 129 ;;Quote: the state of a neuron net determines its future course of action; but given a behavior can not determine the cause
| 129+;;Quote: the state of a neuron net consists of the afferent stimulation and the activity of each neuron
| 131 ;;Quote: with determination of the neuron net, the unknowable object of knowledge, the "thing in itself," ceases to be unknowable
| 131 ;;Quote: all of psychology is based on the activity of neuron nets, i.e., on two-valued logic
| 132 ;;Quote: purposive behavior is by system reducing the difference between afferents and neural net activity
