✦ Synopsis

An important factor in the application of dynamic cellular logic networks to pattern processing tasks is the stability of the network, defined in terms of the number of modes of activity which it can exhibit. This paper presents results which resolve a potential conflict in choosing the number of inputs per network element between increasing the network stability and reducing its capacity for discrimination. Implications for pattern processing in practical pattern classifiers and in neural networks are discussed.
